Opinion: Seven wonders
Whenever the human race considers matters of great importance the number seven seems to regularly crop up. Thus we have the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Seven Wonders of the World. Taking a wild stab in the dark, we're guessing the seven days of the week have something to do with our fascination for this humble prime number.

Opinion: Pins and needles
There’s a small enviro disaster lurking in the back rooms of every system builder business. No, we’re not suggesting these geeks are quietly polluting the planet with excess CO2 or wantonly chopping down rainforests. But they might as well be, thanks to Intel. Excuse me, did I just say Intel? Yep.

Revealed: Ballmer’s original keynote [Opinion]
It was good to see Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer apologising for the whole Vista thing in that recent keynote speech he made to the company’s most valuable partners.
