I just read the most wonderful news article ever: it’s about Web Browsers, and Forensic Science.

Google Talk enters it’s beta phase today. It’s an instant messaging and Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP) application. The burning question is, of course, can it be a replacement for other instant messaging clients? More…

I think the recent presentation by Adam Bosworth at the MySQL User’s Conference has been a little over-interpreted. It’s certainly interesting and presents some useful perspectives, but it’s not the “seminal lecture” that today’s slashdot story describes. More…

I have to hand it to the R&D folks at apple, they really do create some lovely gadgets. Things that have form as well as function. So my usual respect was taken up a notch today when I saw the advert for this summer’s must have gadget, the iPad. More…
