Yeap, including the debt, AMD has finally and officially grabbed the ATI brand (as read about so long ago on this blog! WOW!) Read about it on the Register website. Hopefully this will truly mean an integrated chipset to be proud of (rather than the shoddy Intel solution) =) But seriously folks, check out the [...]

HSBC server problems

October 18, 2006

It appears that on Sunday HSBC had some problems with a server which resulted in a multi-hour disruption to credit card authorisations and ATM transactions being accepted.

another kicking for carphone warehouse

October 12, 2006

After the recent ruling by an illinois court to ask the ICANN or Tucows to withdraw the spamhaus domain – after a recent court battle, ICANN has passed the buck to Tucows.

Google buys YouTube

October 10, 2006

I can only guess that YouTube will be censored and subjected to Google’s main-stream ways. What will happen though to the YouTube brand? Will [...]

pc vs mac

October 3, 2006

I know, I know, there are lot’s of these parody videos, but I found this one particularly amusing. I think what I really find amusing is the whole Mac vs PC debate. As a PC owner, I’m not even really aware of Macs. I guess I’ve already been through it as a teenager with Spectrum [...]
