One of my pet peeves is not being able to access a website by typing ‘http://website.com/’ in the address bar.
Check out Singnet’s website. Remove the ‘www.’, and it magically becomes inaccessible. This is not only inconvenient for users, it’s also inexcusable from an ISP such as Singnet - aren’t they supposed to be Internet experts? [...]
This new ‘Web on a hard drive’ software seems to be garnering its fair shair of hype. While I tend towards supporting such a large-scale, innovative application of web caching, I doubt this technology will prove itself as useful as what the article makes it out to be.

On the subject of tagging…

No, I don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day. I’m not planning on looking for one, either. Firstly, I bet I couldn’t - too difficult, and furthermore, too late. Secondly, if by some miracle I manage to get one, it’d sow the seeds for rumour on very fertile land. No thanks.
Why the post then? Well, [...]
People are somehow incapable of reading the ‘FICTION’ label on novels. First, there was the furore over Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, which had the world embroiled in religious controversy.
It’s said that controversy loves company, and that has never been more true. Now, Memoirs of a Geisha - a novel originally written by Aurthur Golden, [...]
