Remember that post I made a few months ago, telling you all how I thought that the lines between work time and play time would blur because of technology, and how people will start to suffer because of it? Well apparently I’m not the only one who thinks it.

(Yeah OK, so everyone has made that joke…)
Today saw the release of Bing, Microsoft’s rebranded and re-launched web search service. Having had a little play about with it, I can safely say that I like it. Then again, it’s quite a lot like Google Search really.

Just a quick blog post today. This week I came across some interesting news (and rumours) about Google. The first is the announcement of Google Ventures, and the second is a rumour that Google is in talks with Twitter to negotiate an aquisition deal.

Morning all! With any luck I might actually get to write a complete blog entry today!

After I was so rudely interupted yesterday, I figured I’d carry on with my roundup of the current tech news and views.

“The first law of robotics is: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. The second law of robotics is… we do not talk about Fight Club.”
There’s a lot going on in the tech world at the moment, it seems. Yesterday saw the release of (and abundance of news stories about) Windows Mobile 6.5. Windows Mobile is the OS used in a lot of PDAs and handheld data device, and even some phones. Asides from my PDA at work, which I never seem to have for more than 5 minutes before someone robs it, is the only experience of Windows Mobile I’ve had. It seems fairly good as Windows goes, so I’ve got no complaints. I’ve also got no news, opinions, or cares about it either.

I’m almost bored with technology, but perhaps that’s because I have to use it nearly every day. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but having to use computers at work, or home, or round someone else’s house… it can all get a bit tedious.

On reading all of the morning bumf I get in my Inbox every day, one news article stood out: MIT Students Turn Internet Into a Sixth Human Sense. How awesome would that be?

Yes! It’s Friday again – the best day of the week. It might be pouring with rain outside, the economy might have gone belly up, and I might not have dropped the kids off at the pool yet this morning, but it’s still a great day!

“It’s worse than that – he’s dead, Jim!”
Well, after (briefly) trying to sort out my networking issues yesterday, I had no luck whatsoever. The wireless internet dongle I’m currently using is fine, and so I’m thinking that it must just be an issue with the network adapter itself. The router clearly works, as does my PC in general (when it’s got working hardware, that is) and so today I decided to buy myself a new network card.
