Poor choice in name.. and how they can TM lightwave is beyond me. LightWave is a registered trademark of NewTek Inc.

For Linux - workrave http://www.workrave.org/

Fascinating reading - makes me realise just how rusty my theoretical CS knowledge is (I haven't used lisp or some of that sets notation since 1990!)

However IMHO the author should have told them NO, and why, much earlier.

Shame on you google - take dozen emu eggs, break into a bowl, whip up and apply to face.

Scaremongering article - badly informed and possibly biased. We've been eating Quorn products in the UK for years with no reported ill effects (otherwise it would have been pulled from the shelves very quickly).

I'd rather eat Quorn in the US than the drug pumped beef or GMO corn fed chicken any day.

Ships, rats and sinking come to mind.

Another big name starts the process of PR mitigation eh?

LOL worth a read for a quick grin.

Goodbye Livemocha. So RS have decided to try and remove some competition. Who's next in line?

I Second that. Be good to meet up with some like minded souls.

I'll second the childhood memories comment. I also remember pouring over Z80 machine code and does anyone remember typing in individual numbers on a 1K ZX81 to run a blocky space invaders program (circa 1979)??

Flawed article. Misleading Headline.

How many of those Playbooks were returned after christmas and swapped for a Kindle Fire that actually works?

"PlayBook managed 160,000 units. All iPad models combined sold 203.000 units."

Having spent a good chunk of time implementing cookie permission popups across our sites, Google Analytics showed a drop down to 10% of the normal traffic. (The traffic is a bit higher according to the logs, but not normal. Also as someone else pointed out the funnelling and reporting is harder to decipher)

Putting in an implied statement and removing the pop-up and we're back to the regular levels.

Sorry but this law is flawed and I'm glad its getting a bit of airing again. Come on ICO and the EU peeps who created this directive please rethink this with some expert advice.

Phew, Nostalgia indeed. I looked a Plan 9 back in late 90's when we were doing research for alternative OS's and ways of sharing stuff securely across a network without the cruft of DFS...

It had a lot of promise. What did become of it I wonder?

The NLA in the UK is doing exactly the same thing.

I can't believe the stupidity of this. Basically Newspapers are giving these 'companies' the right to extort money from anyone who links to their news website.

The high court has assured that individuals do not count and scraping from free services like Google Alerts is ok.

However if you do it in work for a company bigger than 7 people you can be a legitimate target for litigation.

Well the loss of links is going to slap them down the rankings for news stories and their websites overall as anyone with links to their site will have to remove them. Shooting in foot with a shotgun comes to mind.

There is also a case under litigation in the UK and is still unresolved..

If you work for a newspaper make sure your editor understands that the end effect if this jokery continues is that your newspaper website (that you're spending a lot of money on) will plummet in the search engines as people rush in droves to remove links.
