Exclusive: Google Has Acquired Gizmo5 - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Ooooo, this could be a good thing. I'm a big user of Gizmo (to phone family in SA) however I've felt it a bit lacking and slow in development at times. Hopefully Google will work it's magic and this will become the SIP client of choice for most people. - Colin Seymour

Denying physics won’t save the video stars | Cory Doctorow - Times Online - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol...
Another stupid UK gov proposal: The section "<em>what if Peter Mandelson proposed a rule to terminate the internet access of any movie studio or record company accused of three baseless copyright claims against the public?</em>" raises a question: what if said movie companies just receive 3 baseless copyright infringement claims? Do they get cut off too? Probably not. - Colin Seymour

YouTube - Schalk Burger big hit on du Preez
Play
This is why Chuck Norris wears Schalk Burger underpants - this is one thumping tackle from Burger and illustrates why he's continually picked for the Boks, even if he does suffer from "wandering finger syndrome". - Colin Seymour

The criticism that Ralph Lauren doesn't want you to see! - http://www.boingboing.net/2009...
Unbelievable. First they try and fool you with their images and then they try and sue you for catching them out. You've gotta love America. - Colin Seymour

Is cloud computing the Hotel California of tech? - http://news.cnet.com/8301-13...
Good point. I've not embraced "cloud computing" in this sense as I don't really need it, but more importantly I don't like not knowing I can easily move across to another provider in the future. - Colin Seymour
