Google Browser or Slow News Day Rumor?
One of the big online mysteries has been Google’s lack of its own Web browser.

Yet, Google has sat on the sidelines while supporting/financing Firefox as its browser proxy. Now, there are reports (and I stress “reports”) Google is finally getting into the browser game with a project called Chrome. I’ll leave the nitty-gritty details to Google Blogosco...

Words Matter
“Gustav Sends Oil Prices Surging” read the headline on the front page of cnn.com yesterday. “Crude rises slightly in ‘muted response’ during a special electronic trading session. Hurricane bears down on region that controls 25% of U.S. crude production,” read the subhead of the story itself if you bothered to click through to it.

A Quick Guide to Netbooks
What a difference a year makes. It was only 10 months ago when the first true netbook, the original Asus Eee PC 701, hit the market. The Eee was a ground-breaking little computer but had a few flaws, the biggest being the limited 800×480 display. Today there’s an overwhelming array of low-cost but highly portable and efficient little laptops. Each is a full-featured notebook with displays in the 7- to 10-inch range and all are easy to tote around. Nearly all offer several USB ports,...

We hate our customers
I know I haven’t been posting in ages, but I just couldn’t resist putting up this one in honour of the return of The One to the blogosphere. Footnote 67 from T-Mobile UK’s business pricing brochure [PDF] on their roaming charges (no, please don’t ask why I’m spending Sunday evening reading this stuff): Any undelivered text messages will be charged at 30p. Says it all really, doesn’t it, about the telecoms industry’s attitude to the people who pay the bi...
