I love this game, in 2 player games with my wife, I think it's about 18-2 to her, I'm not so good at the strategy! The only bad thing is when in a 4 player game, depending on your placement of settlements and what happens right at the start

It also strange that by his own admission, he's only been using the products a week - hardly enough time to start experiencing all of the little annoyances of a product. He raves about GMail's threaded conversation view - this actually driv

Slightly different... Apple still get the cost of the licence for OS X, so they still get revenue from every PsyStar sold. PsyStar are not imitating the Apple hardware design, they are not copying the Apple look and feel and cloning everyth

I absolutely love the "mostly info sites" feature. This is so useful when searching for a review of a specific product instead of being spammed with 200 price comparison sites, purporting to offer reviews, but they really don't

Interesting market to be in, but very tough for a startup I think. Xbox 360 already has Netflix streaming support. TV companies are offering more sophisticated set-top boxes all the time. Amazon / Netflix could easily release their own set-

Great... except you can't use the information legally and it will not be kept up-to-date which makes it useless I can't believe we have to pay for the postcode data in the UK. It should be freely available

A custom "compiler" for me is a bit of a stretch. It's essentially a code generation tool where you code in a language similar to VBScript and it could output php or classic asp. It's not a custom C / C++ compiler or anything complicated li

All depends on what you're using it for. We use 7zip all the time at work and it is invaluable and I often see better compression rates depending on the data involved. I just zipped up an Eclipse workspace .zip using 7zip = 27mb .7zip using

Your transaction fee of 50p per ticket in the UK is far too high for University events. A lot of them would be £5-£10, so somewhere between 10% - 5% commission plus there are then withdrawal fees from PP for the money. Eventbrite charge a f
