With all the recent hoo-hah and public outrage over David Hasselhoff (I refuse to use the name the media have shamelessly given him) being tired and emotional in various places recently, I thought I’d write a post to remind you what the great man has done for us, the human race.
Cast your mind back […]

I remember the day UTV bought over a small Belfast company called DNA internet.
A strange thing to remember but it had a big effect on how UTV online was built and they provided the first always on internet access to my house (subscription based dial-up).

I remember when Apple meant something. When the spirit of the san fran seventies and usable software was something you could get behind. I have never bought a PC. I bought Apple because they thought of the person before the process.

Looks like Google is jumping on the YouTube/Metacafe bandwagon with Google Video. This has the potential to be massive, as it’d basically entail using the Google’s big ass search engine to find videos scattered across the Internet. But when the number one video in the ‘Top 100′ is ‘Topless Car Wash’, you get the feeling […]

What ever happened to the term Information Superhighway? The term was popularised by Al Gore around 1994 at the dawn of what now call the Internet, no-one knows exactly who was behind but its pretty certain that Al Gore brought it to the attention of everyone.

Holy crap, if the Black Arm of Snargle was ever to make a film, this would be it. Based on Frank ‘Sin City’ Miller’s graphic novel of the same name, 300 “is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against […]
