    In a follow-on to my post on External Storage options, I’m also wondering if anyone could recommend a good (good = reliable and cheap) e-tailer where i could source the sotrage solution i decide on (and any other electronic toys goods I want to buy). Obviously, the e-tailer should have no problem shipping to Ireland!

    Anyone going to Le Web 3 have any hotel recommendations? Last year there was a wiki where people could leave their suggestions but I don’t see that anywhere on the Le Web 3 site this year and emailing the organisers has elicited no response, as yet!

    My main computer is my laptop – it is a desktop replacement. The biggest issue with this is that laptop hard drives are, by definition, small 🙁 On my laptop I have all my music, all my photos and all my email going back to 1997! The laptop has a 120gb hard drive, but I…

    Following on hotly from yesterday’s big news about Google’s purchase of JotSpot, comes news today that Reddit has been bought by Condé Nast (owners of Wired Digital, Epicurious.com and Style.com, among other properties).

    A lot has already been written about Jotspot’s announcement that they were acquired by Google yesterday – congratulations to Joe Kraus and the team.
