This is hilarious – what would a business meeting be like if it were conducted like a blog? It does show the problems with internet discussions. Via Blogpower. xD.

Many blog inches have gone to discussing the case of Learco Chindamo, the murderer of Philip Lawrence. The opposition to Chindamo’s being able to stay in the UK could be charitably described as shrill. Kris Stoke Newington‘s entire post reads Hang on. This killer does not have a British passport and because of his murder [...]

Microsoft are offering a version of Office to South African consumers that can be rented on a monthly basis as the US$700 price tag is beyond the reach. No matter what the monthly rent (US$30), it will be more than the price tag of OpenOffice.org – zero. xD.

As I understand it, habeas corpus provides for someone being detained to be brought before a judge (in a court of law) for [...]

Karl Rove, Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W Bush, said in his resignation interview with the Wall Street Journal that “he believed Mr Bush would leave behind two lasting pillars of future foreign policy – that harbouring a terrorist makes a nation as guilty as the terrorist, and the act of pre-emption.

‘Dave’ Cameron is at pains to distance himself from his Eton, Bullingdon Club and generally upper-class past. Fair enough – politicians shouldn’t be burdened by their past lives. Unfortunately, West Midlands Conservatives have found a wonderfully inclusive way of raising funds. They’re going to the races for a day. Apparently, [t]he Party Leader, David Cameron [...]
