Brett Favre is Back...Again: Blog Watch

NEW YORK (TheStreet.com) - Planning a drive through New Zealand anytime soon? Well, get your iPhone(AAPL) ready as TomTom's much-anticipated GPS application has appeared in Apple's New Zealand App Store. Though it's unclear if the release was a premature addition, expect to see the app in multiple countries in the very near future.

But if you're impatient like me, maybe Microsoft's (MSFT) new baby, "Bing" is the route to go, which is reportedly giving Google (GOOG) a run for their money. Fortunately for Yahoo(YHOO), it sounds like that recently inked partnership with Microsoft was a good move .

At any rate, if you're driving somewhere this summer, don't forget your car insurance. It might be tough to remember now that Geico (BRK.A)and Progessive (PGR) are among several companies that have officially pulled their advertisements from the Glenn Beck show, after the host made some controversial comments about President Barack Obama. Other advertisers to nix their deals include Wal-Mart(WMT), Radioshack (RSH), CVS(CVS), Travelocity and Allergan (AGN), the maker of Restasis. Though it's a big hit to the show's morale, Fox News(NWS) has simply shifted ads to other shows, that is until the underground powers that be decide to form a mass boycott of O'Reilly and Hannity too.

So ok, you won't see Best Buy(BBY) promoting themselves on Beck's show anytime in the near future. But I'm sure the company will still remain a household name, especially when they knock the price down for Sony's(SNE) new slimmer Playstation 3, whose new lower price apparently leaked early in a Kmart.com (SHLD) ad.

All in all, it's great news for me because I'll finally be able to play this new copy of "Madden 2010"(ERTS) I just scored! I guess the only disappointing thing is Brett Favre , which CBS (CBS) station WCCO-TV in Minneapolis reports now plays for The Vikings. I thought he retired, twice?
