  • Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb Dress Up as Snoopy and Woodstock for Halloween

    Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb entertained fans during their hour of The Today Show Friday. In keeping with their costars’ Peanuts theme, Kathie Lee and Hoda dressed up as Snoopy and Woodstock for the Halloween show.

    Hoda Kotb was dressed in white with big mittens for hands and white makeup on her face as Snoopy, the lovable dog from the Peanuts cartoon strip. Kathie Lee Gifford donned lots of yellow in her efforts to portray Woodstock–Snoopy’s feathered friend.

    “It’s safe to say we stole the Halloween show, yet again! #KathieLee @hodakotb #HalloweenTODAY #Halloween #HodaKotb,” Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb captioned a photo of their creative costumes on Instagram.

    In an attempt to add some excitement to Kathie Lee and Hoda’s day, Regis Philbin swooped in, dressed up as the Red Baron.

    Al Roker dressed up as Charlie Brown, and Matt Lauer was Lucy. Savannah Guthrie was Sally, and Meredith Vieira visited The Today Show all decked out as Pigpen.

  • Microsoft Planning E3 Preview Of New Music Service

    Is Microsoft about to make a big push into the digital music space?

    Yes, Microsoft has Zune, but the only problem with Zune is that…wait, what’s Zune? We’re talking about a legitimate Zune successor here, and according to The Verge, Microsoft plans to give everyone a little taste at this year’s E3 conference.

    Back in February, we told you about Microsoft’s rumored music service. According to reports, the company was in talks with record companies to launch the new service on the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone. It was rumored that the new service would allow users to stream and download music, which would throw it in direct competition with services like iTunes, Google Play, and even Spotify.

    According to The Verge’s sources, the service is codenamed “Woodstock,” and will be compatible across multiple platforms including iOS and Android. Another key component is apparently deep Facebook integration, something we’ve seen Spotify capitalize on in recent months.

    Apparently we’ll get the sneak peek at E3, and it will launch sometime later in 2012. This will probably be Microsoft’s big 2012 release, as we’re all pretty sure that there’s not going to be any talks about a new Xbox anytime this year.

    The success or failure of this upcoming venture will be determined by Microsoft’s ability to penetrate a market where many users feel completely comfortable with what they have. Cross-platform or not, it’s going to be difficult to pull users away from iTunes and Google Play if Microsoft’s new service focuses heavily on buying music. If it’s more like Spotify, that will be a whole other thing.

    What do you think about Microsoft’s new push into digital music? Let us know in the comments.
