More halo 3 picture fun

Driving home last night I heard Stephen McGill (who's in charge of all things Xbox in the UK) on the PM programme (it's about 40 minutes in if you want to use the "Listen again feature). He was talking about Gears of War winning the Golden Joystick awards.

Good and not so good use of RSS.

Every morning my postman puts 3 or 4 catalogues through the door. My wife's late father had a printing company, and she still murmurs "more work for the printers" when this things arrive. It's one of of the few causes of friction in the O'Neill household,

Would Apple sue Scoble's new company ?* . Don't Google for Podcasts. And other stuff from my weekend reading.

Vista DOES HAVE Podcasting! (but it’s a bit ugly). The RSS screen saver is built in too..
