Censorship for the masses Do you ever get annoyed with the constant noise assaulting your senses in shops, pubs, and takeaways? It seems as though places that are quiet enough to think in are soooo last century. There's a TV everywhere yammering away, and it's almost impossible to ignore them all and look away. But perhaps not for much longer. TV B Gone TV B Gone is a little device the size of

Strange email invoice scam I've been getting some odd emails lately. They come as an invoice for various products and services that I don't want or can't afford, such as domain names and webhosting or notebook computers.

Windows, Linux, and potato famines I've been trying to buy a new computer, with Linux as the operating system. It's very difficult to get a shop to sell you one. Typical responses have been: "We don't do that." "We don't know how to do that." "That's a very unusual request. Are you sure you don't mean Windows?" "Linux.

Do you trust the what the Government tells you? The MMR debate has come up again, but this time with a different spin.
