• GPRS Exploit

    Well d’uh! It seems as though the operators have finally confessed to a bug in the GPRS system that allows mallicious attackers to discover users IP addresses and send them service content resulting in large bills for no reason. I’m just surprised that it has taken this long to surface. The model is fundamentally flawed…

  • In what one can only assume to be a direct reaction to the recent RIAA legal battle with illegal music sharing on the internet, the developers of peer-to-peer software are seeking copyright reform. I cannot really gather what reform they are seeking from this incrediby vague article but please give me a trackback or comment…

  • Looks like the RIAA have managed to settle out of court with a number of the accused individuals. One has to wonder how much this pay-off has made for the music industry if their actions were initially costing the music industry… source: CNN.com

  • e-Paper But Not PDF

    When I was over in London last week I picked up a copy of the New Scientist magazine (always a good read). In there I found an article following up on the latest developments in the world of e-paper. I had heard about this technology some time ago when black and white changeable images were…

  • Print Off Your New PC

    We’ve all printed off a spec for our new PC purchase at some stage or another but imagine if you could actually print your PC (or at least some part of it). This new technology of 3D printing devices is really starting to raise eyebrows. A story that should be closely watched… source: CNN.com

    Yes, Doctor Who is set to return to our television screens in the near future. I remember watching the series as a kid and being enthralled by the various adventures of the Who gang. I’m not sure if anyone will ever really capture the essence of the Doctor as good as Tom Baker but I’ll…

  • Vodafone to go Wi-Fi

    Well yes and no. The operator has said that it will support the billing of Wi-Fi hotspots but it won’t actually partake in the rollout of these hotspots. To me this shows a lack of dedication to the cause and an attempt to keep a finger in the pie of Wi-Fi. Vodafone have the technology,…

  • London Again

    Well another entry from London, I think that I might just buy a house over here since I’m over and back so often. 🙂 Just finished a couple of days holidays with Siân in Co. Wicklow, a place called Tulfarris Country Hotel. Really relaxing and enjoyable. Lovely region of the country complete with golf course,…

  • I’ve been following the case recently of Liam Lawlor and all the disputes involved with extracting any information from the man. Personnally I would dub him to be Ireland’s answer to “Comical Ali” (Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf – the Iraqi information minister) thanks to his humourous denials of basically everything and suggesting otherwise. Last evening on…
