"I think you could be right.There's something of the Ivory tower vantage point about NE's more recent pronouncements (the delusion that only he can 'fix broken Britain' and only , of course, via a well paid TV series on Sky). I don't mind the positive thinking 'there's orbs on me shoulder mate' stuff the some other stuff has really made me shout at his bearded bonce (I'm not beardist, honest)." - Emsquared
"Edmonds does seem in danger of becoming the new David Ike.It worries me that he may see himself as a pseudo guru in a floral pattern shirt. I expect we'll all humour him for a while." - Emsquared
"Glad you found the trip tolerable. London can probably be called a super city in that much like New York, Beijing etc is almost not representative of the host country and almost exists as a small country on its own. My Australian partner hated London on first viewing and dismissed it as dirty, expensive and overcrowded , and felt that Bath was more the sort of city that London should have been though that view has now softened. London seems to have cranes permanently working on something along with other building works so London seems to be permanently a 'work in progress'." - Emsquared
"I'm sure this is a worthwhile change of plan that, as you say, will help bolster any plans to work in the UK. You never know, this was probably meant to happen. In the future you may look back on this opportunity as key to more longer term plans." - Emsquared
The OSX chaps and chapettes have some strange ideas about how screen real-estate should be used. Yet another reason I don't have a Mac. There's probably an add-on that lets you do it. I tried some JS solution a while back, but it wasn't compatible with Fx 2 (no idea about Fx 3 or if it's been updated since). - Cyvros/fyc
yeah. no luck for me. my mac is an ibook anyway, so it doesn't really run fx3. just a really funny thing to leave out. - Craig Childs
"Lol-yes those fiendish and wily squirrels have a lot to teach us. I think the desperation to replace the desktop OS and to have an 'always on' data source for increasingly mobile workers is, you're right, slightly hyping cloud computing as an answer before it's ready and tested." - Emsquared
"I think S3 just have to learn from last week's downtime and build in more redundancy & distributed servers (mirrored data). Many web apps do now use Google gears for offline backup purposes.The same worries happen on business networks where data is stored centrally anyway and the server needs upgrading, or suffers an error or some kind.And the number of laptops containing sensitive unencrypted data being left on trains tends to prove the fat client model has its own problems.At least with cloud computing very large numbers of load balanced & distributed servers is possible. No doubt these are the first tentative baby steps in this area and mistakes will and are being made.We're only human after all." - Emsquared
As many UK ISP's look to controlling the free download of music, the debate over 'fair use' & whether downloader's are also purchasers continues. - Emsquared

"The Internet is a great resource.It depends whether a lot of it remains a virtual world and whether your 'real world' and online world actually connect sometimes.In theory the net should be a force for democracy and enhance our understanding of one another though at times it just seems to underline our differences & intolerances as the natural tendency of forming cliques continues. It's still early days yet for the Internet and maybe the 'real world' has yet to feel its unifying (or fragmenting) impact. No doubt in time new social structures that supersede geographic borders may eventuate." - Emsquared

what do you define as gains?I've met some good contacts via various online activities.No more than that. - Emsquared
I define gain as web2.0gurus define it "tangible business result". Like, getting a job offer based on your blog. Winning a business based on your twittering. Meeting good contacts clearly is a gain, but then you still have to prove yourself beyond your tweets and blogposts. I am sorry if the original question was not clear, I ran out of characters :) I am just curious if anyone ever found the "El Dorado" I see promised every day in at least 5 posts. - Roland Hesz
"Thanks RB- There is more than one way of viewing some of the timelines (timeline, list view, flipbook on the top left of the timeline window) though admit that one was made quickly from a keyword rather than inputting in one at a time so it'd only show when it was submitted to You Tube.Yes iIm pleased with the look though it took longer to sort the comments system out than usual." - Emsquared
