    Cock-and-bull story

    Database, Published on 10/03/2010

    » As the euro dropped and bureaucrats across Brussels wondered whether they would have to give up the milk-fed mussels for one night a month, along came their regulators with a great idea: let's sue Google; the fact that the US company is richer than Belgium has nothing to do with it, perish the thought, but Google is, let's face it, a monopoly and price fixer and, well, the public needs a lot of protection from Google; Translation; Nice little search engine you've got here, be a shame if you had to go through years and years of court cases just to end up paying us pretty much the same amount of, you know, "fines" you could pay now.

    Database, Don Sambandaraksa, Published on 17/03/2010

    » Providing 3G coverage will prove much more difficult than many expect and is not just a case of re-using old 1800 cells sites to the nature of the technology that could see cell sizes range from over 100 kilometres to just down the road depending on the number of active users in the cell, as Alcatel-Lucent Thailand's head of solutions and marketing, Laurent Perche, explains.

    Completely in the dark

    Database, Published on 05/05/2010

    » The prime minister's TV show is called Having Confidence in Thailand but no one has much confidence in NBT Channel 11, the slavishly pro-government station; someone forced the station off the air for nine minutes just after the beginning of the Sunday morning show, and technical "experts" were in the dark about it, no pun intended; Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was just starting to explain his latest policy towards the red-shirt protesters when the screen went blank from what National Broadcasting Services of Thailand director Rattana Charonesak said was a stronger signal transmitted over the Channel 11 one; she admitted that she was completely in the dark about the incident, no pun intended.
