The Blade (Free subscription) | yesterday
Back on November 21, 2009, I wrote and article about Rupert Murdoch and his threats to Google and how he was going to pull his news content away from search engines. [ See my post here ] So this morning I read a comment from a reader that stated the following: You and everyone who blogs is a jerk. You steal the content of others and claim it as your own. Mr. Murdoch is correct in trying to protect...

Tony Blair used to be the Prime Minister. He is now a corporate animal charging £180 for a photo, and thousands for a single lecture. He has a rich lawyer wife and a portfolio of properties and a high-octane high-profile globe-trotting life. He is also a lucky man. He would never have got where he wanted to be if John Smith had not died. Or if John Major's Government wasn't so bad. He led his...

I thought Gordon Brown got the slight edge over David Cameron in Wednesday's Queen's Speech debate. But the Conservative leader got an excellent laugh when he pilloried Mr Brown's Government Of All The Talents - the so-called Goats - distinguished outsiders who were brought in as ministers in the Lords without ever standing for election or getting their hands dirty in politics. But five of the Goats...

When we meet people in person, there are often clues as to the person’s identity, and sometimes there are real life tokens of identification. But when we connect online, those clues often don’t exist, leading us to wonder if the person is really who they say they are? What makes a merchant or a connection online real?

I tried to see if the gadget shows all the SearchWiki votes: I promoted a site, but it wasn't included in the live stream. Most likely, Google shows a small a sample of the SearchWiki votes. For now, the...

I wouldn’t give Rupert Murdoch the pickings of my nose, so it somewhat grieves me to mention his rag for the Neanderthals the super soar away Scum , but how could I ignore a headline like” Ale is making a comeback as lager sales dip”. The article appears to be referring to off-sales, so not really real ale related, but the good news does seem to continue on the ale front. They print...

Time for a round-up post, I reckon. Since I last posted (on Oct 23rd), I have mostly been - enjoying a wonderful weekend of NFL in London. On the Saturday I was in Richmond Park for a game of flag footy, representing the UK Patriots against the UK Buccaneers. We lost the game, although I did catch a pass and make a tackle. We also got to meet the Patriots and Bucs cheerleaders and mascots. I shook...
