iPad pictures revealed

iSlate is bad? iPad isn't much better.....

Will there be an alternative called the iTampon???????

Should you lose your religion on your CV?

Putting your religion on your CV is dumb.

It's against the law to discriminate on grounds of race, creed or colour. Thus, the sensible thing to do is not have any such identifiable markers on your CV, unless you're looking for a reason to blame someone else when you don't get the job.....

Further, the lack of awareness of this, or the lack of judgement to assume that putting your religion on your CV is good, would lead me to avoid the candidate altogether. Where is the line drawn? Do you accept christians and muslims and reject wiccans or druids? They're all equally stupid superstitions.

Finally, if there could be a conflict of interest (e.g. being asked to do IT support for, a family-planning clinic), then the candidate is going to be weeded out.

Looks like the vole didn't do too much research, or they just don't care.....

Bing is a ping based bandwidth measurement tool. MS just cannot be original at all.

Boffins: Blue light kills MRSA 'superbugs'

Not sure they thought this through

Hmmmm. Seems to be another good idea which won't work well in the field. In body tissue, it may well be difficult to shine the light on the relevant bugs, as most body parts aren't see-through at those frequencies..

The other concern is the inevitable rise of blue-light resistant strains.
