I’ve been playing online poker at Party Poker for the last couple of months but I hadn’t been playing for real money up until tonight when I made my first $50 deposit. On the play-money tables, you can win a lot and it’s not always that much fun because players will bet stupidly, not caring […]

Less than a day old and there is already a critical security alert for Microsoft’s new Internet Explorer 7. This vulnerability only affects IE7, so I guess it’s not recommended to upgrade just yet. This is a big blow for Microsoft as they have been touting this as their most secure browser ever. Let’s hope […]

Here’s a nifty site that may or may not be useful to you. FeedRaider lets you set up your own pages with feeds that you choose displayed in a variety of formats. Not too sure what market this is aiming for as you can already do this with Netvibes and the other home-page providers. But it’s […]

Juha over at Computer World has just broke the news that Vodafone has bought iHug for $41 million. This is huge news for NZ residents and although I’m not sure how this will pan out, it can only be for the good. Vodafone have just launched their own mobile broadband and will be offering home phones […]

I started watching Robert Scoble’s new show today, aptly name the ScobleShow. I like it. I watched the first episode with Jonathan Schwartz, who is the approachable CEO of Sun Microsystems. Jonathan is passionate about Sun and its technology and it comes across in the interview. Heck, I want to build something big just so I can use […]

I’ve been using Live Writer for the last couple of weeks and I have to say that it is by far the best desktop blogging tool available today. I had tried most of the others, but none come even close to this. I’m usually quite critical of the Windows MSN Live platform as I think […]

I recently subscribed to the TechNet and MSDN blogs feeds. These two feeds keep you up to date with every blog that’s hosted by both sites. There’s a bit of information overload in doing this, but I’ve already found some good posts which means that I have another couple of feeds to subscribe to. Jane […]

I just wrote a quick post about Stage 6 on the beta @ amanzi site going in to more detail about this, but it’s basically a YouTube competitor but with WAY better quality videos. The downside is that you have to manually install a plugin but it’s definitely worth doing as the quality is amazing! […]

Interesting reading for any current or wannabe bloggers, the blogosphere is not quite what you expected! A blog-peasant, one of the Great Unread, comes to the wall of the castle to offer a tribute to a royal, and the royal drops a couple of coins of attention into the peasant’s little purse. The peasant is […]
