Via Slashdot, 1000 used iBooks went on sale at $50 each in Virginia USofA resulting in absolute iChaos. As soon as the doors opened there was an iStampede for the laptops as screaming people dove in to the iShop. People were thrown to the iFloor, others beaten with a folding iChairs and one fucker even [...]
Shit, another plane crash, this time in Venezuela where a plane carrying holidaymakers went out of control and crashed after reporting engine trouble. All 160 passengers were killed. Shocking.
Two mobile phone articles for you, and both via “techdirt“. How many people answer a phone each & every time it rings? Well, you don’t HAVE to answer it ya know!

One of my favourite daily blog reads has decided to call it a day. As Young Irelander himself says, it’s the “end of an era”. I don’t know what prompted this (legal? work?) bit I hope he reconsiders and gets back to posting soon.
