Microsoft is far from doomed, but it is interesting to see Digital compared to them. I have said since the iPhone came out that if Microsoft fails to compete within the mobile devices market that it would become another IBM or it would be m

It wasn't intended to be a personal attack and I do apologise for that, but I do get bothered when I see baseless accusations that non-ionising radiation is going to kill us all. Of course with enough intensity it could cause problems,

Correlation is not causation. There has been no conclusive link between EM radiation and human ailments other than hysteria. We creatures have throughout history been bombarded with intense radio activity from outer space (such as the emiss

This sort of reminds me of how Russia and its dash cams have sort of changed how people (such as myself) perceive the act of driving. In the past, dash cams were largely limited to police officers on patrol, but now anyone can put one in th

This is not really a surprise. If MtGox expects to survive as a business (if it can at all), then it will need to start tightening up the rules or else it will suffer the fate of not following regulation.
