Latest Chrome beta fastest ever - again

@It would be nice

Mobile phones to get universal charger

@Robert

Yeah, like that makes a difference. I'll bet every phone you've bought between 2001 and now, no matter whether they had the same connector, came with a charger anyway, so it makes no difference to change it now, as all phones will still have one included.

Google remodels top secret money machine

@No one clicks ads anymore

Three Little Pigs book deemed offensive to Muslims

Who said writers don't have hard jobs...

Next of course, you can't put people in stories because if the protoganist is caucasian, it's racist to black people and Asian people, if he/she/it (trying to stay politically correct) is black, it will insult the other races etc...

I personally think this culture of over political correctness will only lead to more problems, as people will be afraid to talk to people of other races/religions/nationalities for fear of offending them.

Sony PS3 narrows gap with Nintendo Wii

Not narrowing the gap

Sorry, but this just really bugs me, they're not narrowing the gap until the PS3 actually OUTSELLS the Wii, they're narrowing the difference in sales is all.
