The LSD guru, the 1980s pop-star and video games to reprogram your brain

Are you sure about it not seeing the light of day?

I've got a copy of Neuromancer sitting on my shelf at home. It definitely has a soundtrack by Devo. However I don't know if it's the same one that you're talking about. Pictures to follow if anyone is interested.

'Proactive Wellness' rebranded as 'Infosight' by Nimble

It works; better than my brain anyways.

I'm a happy Nimble customer because their support (with the system heartbeats, etc) has saved my bacon a few times. For example; the UBD moment when I downsized a LUN on the SAN *before* I shrank it on the VMware guest & host. Oh, how we laughed - after it was fixed...

Canonical announces Mir display server to replace X Windows

Another one?!?

Google's Glasses: The tech with specs appeal?

Too right mate.

That is all.

So, what's the best sci-fi film never made?

I recommend...

"The Wreck of The River of Stars" by Michael Flynn

Good science, scary in some places, and a palpable feel of a tragedy unfolding in front of your eyes.

Isn't it just System - Preferences - Screensaver...?

Feuding iPhone fart-makers raise legal stink

<sigh>

This is the state of the art of IT? Fart apps?

These guys, and I'm not rooting for either party in the dispute, most utterly deserve the financial raping that their lawyers will inevitably render upon them. Perhaps there is a good use for a live lawyer after all...

Can we look forward to a future 'technology/revenue sharing agreement' wrapped in NDAs?

Enjoy your Pyhrric victory when it comes, boys and/or girls. (Though I'm sure that members of the sensible sex are not involved.)

Wakefield does a Brum with possessive apostrophes

If correct spelling and punctuation isn't...

the sign of education, then WTF is it??

Does anyone else want to send Lynne Truss money so she can buy a sniper rifle?

Nigerian car thief turns into sheep

"Sheep Shifting?! Sheep Shifting???!!"

Baaaah'd punster, baaaaah'd! Ewe otter be ashamed of yourself.

World Camera offers enhanced reality via iPhone

"Virtual Light" anyone?

I think William Gibson deserves a bit of credit for introducing the concept. Such a pity that sci-fi novels don't count as prior art, seeing as so many patents are pure fiction.

I, for one, welcome our new geo-tagging overlords...

Blu-man, cause he looks a little like Mr. G.

EU project scans air passengers for terrorist tendencies

There I go to G-Bay

I'm not exactly the most calm flyer, and it's gotten worse with age. I guess I'll be plastered against the wall by the CCTV-watching Jack Bauer wanna-be for grimacing during turbulence.
