Hey Guy! What's all the fixation with Wendy?

She's our regular political columnist. Hadn't you noticed?

:-)

This week, she concludes that Bush didn't steal the election - or, if he did, he didn't leave a smoking gun to prove it.

What bothers me? The fact that Diebold hasn't responded to any of the stories that have appeared about the level of competence in their programming.

This week's topic is Tivo and the sad disappearance of the thing in the UK.

I don't think I'm going to be the one to tell Wendy about Sky Plus...

The world is full of people doing wireless badly. It would seem that Philadelphia is not immune to this...

Wendy's article makes no mention of WiMax. It's way cool ad worth a peek.

UK Channel Five's "The Gadget Show" visited Japan. They were impressed by taxis with self-opening doors (just an ordinary car door, which swings open automatically), and a small picket of unemployed former professional taxi-door openers.

One of the amazing things we're always told about Japan is that no one can ever be fired from a company, but they can be given low-status duties or no duties at all until they resign because of embarrassment. Unfortunately this also means it's difficult to get hired, or I'd be learning the language and booking my flight. ;-)

. .

In case you didn't know, Wendy's been travelling again. This piece doesn't reveal that she's just done her first visit to Japan, but her blog will.

Is it confidential if I tell you "Keep it to yourself, but I'm going into Oatmeal" and then go into Mock Turtle Soup?

Can I keep you silent under your oath that you wouldn't reveal my move into oatmeal?

I only ask because the Mocking Turtle or Marc Wooton say we aren't allowed to reveal that they're doing something they didn't tell us they were doing...

Last I checked, Pozitive TV were happily doing business without having a company Web site. The power of the Internet isn't absolute - there's still a role for wine bars ;-)

.

OK, apologies: here's Wendy's rather late Xmas edition. I was offline, and doing my very best not to be - and failing. All details, some other time.

As to how long wine bars can manage without a site, I dunno. My experience of doing without was involuntary, which makes a difference. I HATED it...

Happy New Year, from Wendy and, of course, from myself and Sniffer...

I wonder what the collective noun for an ill-defined aggregation of bits is. Not a "stream" really; how about torrent?

Too obvious...

Wedny's point about commercials is well made. The hit show "24" aired in the UK on advert-free BBC. In the USA, the events of one 24 hour period took... 24 hours to show. In the UK... just 18 hours. Maybe it should have been renamed "18" for UK and DVD distribution?

The Boss has asked me to link to Wendy's latest column. He's been playing with broken software, and is more than a mite tetchy...

I have only one thing to say about Wendy's latest column - AOL.
