Confession time. I am a comic book fan. There I have said it.
Really like the new design. Has a very nice feel.Well done - remember how much work it was last time.
That old adage about 'My Enemy's Enemy Is My Friend" might have something in it.
When the iPhone was launched one of the criticism leveled against it was that it was just too slick for its own good - literally. Cases of the phone flying out of a user's hand like a greased banana did the rounds.
After just receiving my second invite to a Champagne-fueled IT launch for next week - is it safe to assume the recession is over?
The news has just broken that the European Commission is about to kick-off a protracted investigation into Oracle's purchase of Sun Microsystems. EU authorities are concerned about the implications for the open source database MySQL owned by Sun.

Second time is lucky too it seems. Hungarian ex-Microsoft Billionaire Charles Simonyi has landed safely after his second space-tourist mission.
Temporarily based in Hungary as I am - been here in Budapest for a couple of months - anything Hungarian in the news gets my attention.Right now its mostly how the Hungarian economy is in meltdown - the PM quit on Saturday - but every now and again there is a bit of good news.
Only just noticed that ZDNet.co.uk has updated the way it displays video.
