If you are a PowWeb user (as I once was) you may have come to realise (as I did) that they have slowly become one of the worst web hosts around.

One of their wonderful quirks is the inability to easily cancel your account…

Have no fear! I was once in this predicament and after a few 100 emails to PowWeb support I finally ended up with the account cancellation address:

Enjoy!

Over the past few months I have searched in vain for a decent Sky Broadband review. The best I could find were unreliable forum posts detailing a 50/50 mixture of good and bad opinions.

Today however, I found this article on the Inquire website. Here’s a quote:

For a good example of the real world application of this kind of speed, the Vista RC2 DVD with 4gb+ of data took under 15 minutes to download (the MS site didn’t quite max the connection out). Obviously speeds are dependent on your line quality and distance from the exchange.

Quite impressive. Unfortunately the waiting list wasn’t currently at 5+ weeks and at the moment the only internet access I can get is a leeched WiFi signal from a zero-security-conscious neighbour. Read the rest of this entry…

Everyone loves a list right? And with the Web 2.0 thing looking ever like the late 90s dot-com-bust the all new CNET TV (beta) listed its own top 5 “Dot-Bombs of All Time”:

5. Etoys
4. Flooz
3. Kozmo
2. Pets.com
1. Webvan

Not bad, I remember eToys and Flooz (the Beenz competitor) but Webvan? Surely the all time number 1 web-bomb-floper HAS to be boo.com:

Google just paid $1.65bn for YouTube.

Is YouTube worth $1.65bn? Is Google Video REALLY doing that badly? Is the future of tech business “If you can’t beat em’ throw $1.65bn at em’..”??

Maybe Microsoft should take a tip from Google and quit with the Zune. Hell, just throw a few billion at Apple for the iPod, I’m sure even Steve Jobs would break when the dollar bills started to reach his neckline.

Maybe then Sony could buy the Wii, GM could buy Toyota and Adobe could even buy Macromedia!

Shit, that last one actually happend.
