Interesting snippet about how girls are often mistaken to be non-geeks when the opposite is frequently true. I personally wouldn’t classify it as a revelation given that manufacturers have in the past, released items such as a pink iPod mini. Of course only considering typical tastes here but perhaps this is evidence enough that someone…
It’s good to know that on this day that I celebrate the passing of one year and the start of another (i.e. my birthday) that the status quo of common sense is still holding strong. Noteworthy events of the early morning include Presidents dismissing the findings of their intelligence agencies. Former singer Cat Stevens refused…
It appears a recent attack on Irish internet consumers, by some deviant software offerings, is set to bring about the biggest clamp down on telecoms that the country has ever seen. Users of the internet have been targeted with dialler software that changes their internet connection settings causing them to “dial-up” through a premium call…
No it’s not the cost of moving house but rather the cost of moving job location or to be more accurate the cost of moving your employees. This debate of decentralisation has been raging for some time now and it still fails to make any sense to me as to why the civil servants even…
Very interesting story just emmerging from the theory of a Swedish scientist. He claims that the lost land of Atlantis is actually Ireland. His theory based on geographical and historical studies could serve the tourism industry very well. Come to Ireland (formerly the lost island of Atlantis). source: CNN.com

The long awaited floatation of Google to the stock market due to happen today has been delayed due to some issue regarding the search giant’s registration statement. Following a torrid few weeks of investigations regarding possible breaches of protocol prior to the float this is just another stumbling block that wasn’t wished for. All going…
Yes, today is international left handed day, the most sinister day of the year. 🙂 So greetings to all those who browsed on by with left-handed mouse movements and other such things. It still doesn’t beat international talk like a pirate day (September 19th – International Talk Like a Pirate Day). Keep your calendars free…
Some day, just some day things might go according to plan. People might embrace the joy of smiling or being polite. Each person will be happy to take on tasks that are handed down rather than pushed on. And some day we might all be treated to a world that doesn’t conform to the sanctuary…
Yeah, sure, good advice. Where exactly should we shop around? Banks might as well publish overcharging rates instead of interest rates. Car insurance cannot be purchased outside the country (mostly anyway there are very few exceptions I have heard of). Choose any phone provider but pay only one monopoly for your line rental. Get a…
