Just a bunch of links
As the title says, just a bunch of links I found interesting the last few days:
- Even BusinessWeek writes about it: What's the New IE Flaw All About? and then goes on to recommend a few alternatives by pointing out that Internet Explorer Is Just Too Risky. Is the tide finally turning? Will more people switch to Mozilla or Firefox?
- The Sunday Herald: How litter, raves and speedboats are destroying new national park’s beauty. Why do some idiots always have to destroy it for everyone else?
- Partly overtaken by events, yet still largely valid: Bogus End To A Bogus War, the Sunday Herald is very critical over the handover of power in Iraq.
- Do you know where the villages of Ardnamurchan and Morvern are? No? Good, because they don't exist. The name isn't mentioned, but apparently a London based Sunday newspaper thought they did (Ardnamurchan and Morvern are peninsulas on the west coast of Scotland). Harry Reid has an interesting essay about Locating the problem of map-reading and the London centric view of many people. And if you think that I live in London because I live in England you're wrong. I live in Average City (aka Swindon). Which is a about 70 miles from London, admittedly not as far as Ardnamurchan or Morvern, but still...
- Interesting: Islay is home to the Wavegen wave power station, on neighbouring Gigha they are building the first community-owned windfarm. What's next?
- Hm, is that a newspaper not researching properly or just a press release exaggerating the scoop? Rennie Mackintosh locked up as 'German spy'. While I didn't know that he had been locked up for a week it wasn't news to me that Charles Rennie Mackintosh has been suspected as being a Germany spy during WW I. While the details might have been news, the topic as such hasn't.
That's enough links. Bedtime.
