GoldMail’s Overly Loud Mouth
Quick. What’s the internet’s killer app? Social networking? Beep! Wrong. Despite the flurry of Web 2.0 and other shiny net gadgets, email still dominates as the most used web application.

I’m a football fanatic and I played at a decent standard at school (my school won the national championships) and Uni, and until today I thought I’d seen every move possible.

Friday Fun: Dwight Howard Superman Dunk Videos

Refresher Course: The Free Unix Desktop
I have been using a Mac at home since 2002. Prior to that I had been a big NeXT guy, and my home network always consisted of a mix of OPENSTEP and FreeBSD boxes, with the occasional partition devoted to Windows for gaming.
