Not only does Apple not actually make very much revenue from iTunes Really? I guess 6% of it's net sales isn't a huge amount i guess, but when that equates to £6.3 billion I wouldn't regard that as small fish.

Could you make an impact (even if a very small one) on a large number of people over the course of a weekend with a pencil and paper? Gandhi made a huge impact on a vast number of people and all he had was a white cloth and a pair of glas

I have a question. There are loads of cancer charities, such as Cancer Research UK, . Does donating to these make any difference in progressing the research for a cure/treatement or does it not make any serious dent compared to the big phar

There was actually a piece on this on Watchdog (a BBC Uk consumer issues programme) just last night. One hotel owner (which provides free Wifi) said it cost them £300 to provide the Wifi, he had 150 rooms so £1.50 a month/5p a day. The cost

GMail and other webmail providers just need to add this and make it a configurable option in the settings. Heck, even Outlook should give the users this option via some wizard (they seem to have one for everything else!). Totally agree th
