Global chocolate crisis looms

Chocolate demand increasing...

Is this similar to Homer Simpson's get-rich-quick scheme, based on the fact that pumpkin prices increased all through September and October?

Has anyone taken into account the drop in chocolate demand in certain countries after Sunday 8th April?

Now I have wasted 10 minutes of my life trying to explain why poorly translated french captions are funny.

Malware vs Greyware

I suggest that the issue here is perhaps that the anti-virus software was not set to detect Spyware/Greyware, but only known Malware (i.e. containing a pattern matched to a known virus signature).

I have seen a number of organisations where the 'Greyware' option was switched off. Common arguments include 'user privacy', 'too many false alerts', 'poor performance'.

Common results when switching it on include detection of lots of interesting software installed on IT department PCs...

4GB fourth-gen iPod Nano confirmed

I nearly bought one last week..

I ordered a 16GB model via the Apple Store, and when I checked my order status it had been replaced by a 4GB model instead.

Subsequently sorted without any action on my part, but the cancelled model is still listed on my Order Status page.

Product / part number (for those who care) is PB651ZO/A and the price was €140.
