Thanks to BrianW for the link: It looks like that infamous Irish company Steorn, that claimed free energy last Summer, are back with a name for their technology (Orbo) and an update on their validation process.

Google Ads – The new hoover?
News broke late last week regarding the Google purchase of Adscape Media (another advertising company specialising in adverts in video games). I can’t help but think that it won’t be long before every ad I see in digital format will be a Google Ad, spurring the question of “Are Google Ads taking over to the… Read More »Google Ads – The new hoover?
Calling all subscribers
For a long time I have not really cared about services like Feedburner for tracking subscribers to my RSS feed.

Just read this interesting post from John Chow. While the content of the post is nothing really new to me, it’s interesting because more and more people should be aware of its subject matter.

HD DVD DRM
Just read this via Tom Raftery’s I.T. views: An interview with the guy who cracked the HD DVD DRM just before Christmas, to the joy of most of the world anyhow. Tom sums up his post with the following points: The sooner the movie studios realise that all the money they are pouring into DRM… Read More »HD DVD DRM
