CES Las Vegas Software Selection - Slim Pickings?
Blog Comment I like your line of reasoning here. Nice one J.A. Skype on the PSP - who needs it? Well, I’m a keen gamer and precisely the reason I like to zap into hyperspace is to avoid talking to real people. I know MMOGs with real interactivity can be fun and...

A Challenge To All Linux Users In The World
Blog Comment As to the reasoning behind the choice of a Celeron CPU. That's easy, that's what I have available for the test. Not to mention the fact that as a server it doesn't really need much video output. The second test running the Windows product is...

Practical Laptops?
Talkback I am delighted to see the thin client market awareness growing so rapidly & am hopeful this signifies a reduction in cultural inertia - i.e.we stop resisting such innovative change in approaches without technical or commercial reasoning.

Statistical Spin Of The Day
Blog Now, I'm no statistical genius (in fact I avoided carrying my undergraduate psychology degree to full term simply because I was terrified of having to do a year of stats), but I reckon it's pretty wonky reasoning to: a) use the financial year...

Tsunami Appeal Site 'hacker' Found Guilty
Talkback By this reasoning I am a criminal. Evil Wizard, if you can't believe what I'm saying, have you tried reading RFC3986? This isn't at all a case of someone attempting to break in. The query he sent is allowable under agreed international standards.

Red Hat Recommends Windows For Consumers
Talkback I can see the reasoning behind the RedHat CEO's statement. However, does anyone really believe that Microsoft is responsible for making Windows a viable consumer OS? This CEO should be ashamed and replaced for his lack of leadership.
