This May, a massive earthquake rocked Sichuan Province in China. Reaching a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale, it claimed the lives of 400,000 people. Half a year later, though the destruction seems to have lost its newsworthiness, the reconstruction is still very much a reality. However, it doesn’t have to be hopeless! How [...]

The LA Times reported that because of a small server company in California (McColo) that has been shut off, the amount of spam worldwide has dropped two-thirds.

La semaine dernière, Ann Woolner, analyste chez Bloomberg, a fait une déclaration surprenante pour une employée d'un service d'information habituellement fort complaisant avec le capitalisme. Pour un peu, on aurait cru entendre Arlette Laguiller : "… les cadres de ces institutions financières, ceux qui ont provoqué cette crise, ceux qui ont poussé à la roue avec leur spéculation sans bornes... vont s'en mettre plein les poches avec l'argent du contribuable. Le plan de sauvetage, financé ...

Filed under: RIM, Palm OS, Windows Mobile, AppleSo apparently Apple knew what it was talking about after all. Research firm Canalys says that Apple stole the rug out from underneath RIM in the third quarter to become the world's number two pusher of smartphones, taking a hearty 17.3 percent market share compared to RIM's 15.2 percent and Windows Mobile's 13.6 percent. For what it's worth, the firm says RIM could very well bounce back in ...

Hogy én hogy gyűlölöm a modern technikát. Ma megbeszélésre igyekeztem Duna-torony negyedik emeletére. Tudtam, hogy nem olyan egyszerű a be- és a feljutás, de kicsit meglepett, hogy még a lift önálló kezelését sem merik az emberre rábízni, de ki vagyok én, hogy felülbíráljam a moszadosszupertitkospentagonos védelmi izék fontosságát és létjogosultságát. Az udvarias portásember és liftesfiú odakísért a lifthez, a kártyájával aktiválta vagy mi, benyomta nekem a 4. emelet gombját, majd magamra hagyott két hölggyel, akik ...
