» To this day I still sometimes read about the Y2K bug and how it was a hoax. I sometimes see it likened to all manner of conspiracies. So here is the truth. I was involved in the Y2K mitigation program and it was a real issue. Jan 1, 2001 and other dates like 2010 were real issues and in fact they are still having an effect today.

Sony and Sony Ericsson pretended they did not leak or authorise news that they will release a new portable tablet device and a smart phone able to play PlayStation games, not that they are at all worried about the near monopoly of the markets by Apple; Sony has officially announced it is opening a download service that will so totally crush iTunes; it is called Qriocity, pronounced "curiosity" isn't that precious?

Or is it True now? Or True Visions? Or whatever it is. And the best thing about it is that it's free and allows users outside of the US to view the content.

» Microsoft recently made the claim that they had sold 90 million copies of Windows 7 since it reached the manufacturers in July last year. What actually happened then was that OEMs were told to put Win 7 on new machines by default. So the word "sold" is a little misleading here.
