I like The Register as they can always be trusted to enliven what can be seen as a dull subject matter but even they have their moments of seriousness. One such from yesterday is their reporting on Australia’s war on internet porn.

However, as a fan of some 25yrs of the San Francisco 49ers (through thick and thin) I am saddened to read of the passing of ‘The Genius’ that was Bill [...]

I often wonder where others get their information from and so to that end I’m going to share some of my sources. The restrictions I am putting on my Top 5 are that the newsletter must be deliverable via email or at least an alert advising you of the latest edition being available.
These are listed [...]

I recently read an article - and I won’t cite my reference here for various reasons - that espoused their point of view. Well fair enough, after all that is what this freedom of speech thing is all about surely. However, what I took to not liking, and I am probably equally to blame here, [...]
