You may not always be able to trust what you read on Wikipedia, but with the news that the number of articles has now gone beyond ten million, there’s certainly not a dearth of pages to read.

Next to the sun, water is probably the most common element found in photographs of nature. It’s not hard to see why, because our physical dependence on this magical fluid has over thousands of years created an almost spiritual reverence for it. So many pictures of waterfalls, lakes and oceans have been taken over the years, and yet there are as many variations on the theme of water as there are photographers to create them.

There’s something terribly satisfying about reading judgements and claims about modern video games delivered by people who have their heads so far up their posteriors that it is a wonder they could actually watch the screen. Without further ado, I give you Annie Diamond, “TV presenter” who was assigned to researching violence in today’s video game entertainment.

Society has always had a fear of hackers since the advent of computers and the internet. The hacker community’s notoriety has been relatively low, as of late, because of its relative dormancy. That all should change: possibly the first time ever, hackers have used their ways to attack innocent people physically, in the form of a methodical attack on an epilepsy support forum.

If Obama is the most technologically knowledgeable candidate, McCain is the one most likely to vote in favor of big telecommunications companies and against necessary ideals like network neutrality. He doesn’t vote that way out of any pool of knowledge, he votes that way because he is firmly in the telco lobby pockets.

I think we can all agree at this point in time that Microsoft is sitting not-so-pretty in a pot of boiling water over the whole “Vista-capable” debacle.  Though the bundle of corporate emails originally seemed to indicate that Intel was the bully responsible for the early release of Vista and the ensuing disaster of a marketing strategy, continued research has shown that graphical giant Nvidia has had the most adverse affect on Vista operating systems thus far.

It’s coming on for almost a year since the original Apple iPhone launched in the US, and what a year it has been for the company and the product. With that in mind, Apple are preparing for the launch of a new version of the iPhone, dubbed iPhone 2.0, which looks set for a June release.

At this year’s PWN 2 OWN hacking contest, a MacBook Air was hacked before any Vista or Linux machines. The skilled hacker responsible for the victory walked away as this year’s champion with the hacked computer and $10,000. It seems Apple really does employ a reality distortion field over its customers, and if this isn’t evidence, we couldn’t say what is.

The newspaper industry has lost money to the Internet for years now, and its remaining pools of profit are drying up faster than ever. The Newspaper Association of America (NAA) is reporting a 9.4% decrease in ad revenue profits for newspapers when comparing 2006 to 2007.

There we all are debating whose console is better, and engaging in “mine is bigger than yours” type arguments, but it seems it could all soon be a pointless argument. Some in the gaming industry are looking in to their crystal balls and predicting the end of home consoles after this current generation.

When everything else fails, why not turn to tax. Which is exactly what Warner Music and others are contemplating in a last ditch attempt to save the dead business model which they are desperately clinging on to.

The Nintendo Wii and the Apple iPhone are two of the most popular gadgets on the market right now. But their uses go beyond mere entertainment, and the technology in both devices has now been adapted to be used by the US military.

Comcast has been accused by BitTorrent users and the FCC of throttling bandwidth to the site, and in many cases blocking BitTorrent altogether. When confronted in a lawsuit by the FCC, Comcast admitted they were using hacker technology to throttle or block BitTorrent. In the middle of the skirmish, Comcast has suddenly done an about face and begun to negotiate with BitTorrent on bandwidth.

It’s not quite Google high-speed Internet but it’s as close as we’ve come today.  Cavalier has partnered with Google to provide a $50 per month Internet/home phone service.  Among the other features, it claims a dedicated connection to the Internet; as opposed to a "shared" connection that Comcast uses for its subscribers.
