Internet Explorer 9 Is Here
You can download the LATEST beta version of IE 9 here
There are still a few bugs that need to be worked out. Due to the fact that it is still very beta it has a lot of basic features missing such as navigation. The only thing it has for navigation is a little dialog box to type the website address in. All other navigation is done by using the links on the page. Text is MUCH more crisp and clear. IE 9 also uses HTML5 which is something that not even FireFox nor Google Chrome have used yet. It may seem difficult to get used to at first, but I believe it is a good choice to at least try it out. It is free, and you can report any bugs you find with the handy little Report Issue menu at the top of the window.

Balloon Daredevil Crosses English Channel
A daredevil has managed to fly from England to France using just a bunch of helium balloons to carry him.
American Jonathan Trappe tied a specially adapted chair to a bundle of balloons which lifted him into the air early this morning.
After taking off in Kent and rising to 7,500ft, winds carried what he describes as "the world's least manoeuvrable aircraft" across the English channel.
In his chair Trappe had an aircraft transponder, oxygen system, aircraft radios, emergency locator beacon, in-flight satellite tracking -- luckily he didn't need some of those items.
He touched down (in a French cabbage patch) five hours after taking off and says he can't wait for his next stunt.

Drunk Britain
Over half a million Brits turn up for work each morning suffering from a hangover, it has been found.
A study by a drink awareness charity discovered the average person goes to work suffering from the effects of too much alcohol three times a month.
Once there, almost one in five admit struggling to keep on top of their workload and to making mistakes.
The survey of 1,000 people also found seven percent have even had to leave work early because of a hangover.
On the bright side, at least if you're reading this while hunched over your computer at work and vowing never to drink again you know you are not the only one, and you won't be next time either.

Google Pac Man Cost Businesses £85 Million
When Google added an interactive game of Pac Man in place of their logo this weekend, most people assumed it was a harmless piece of fun.
But business experts now claim the game - there to celebrate 30 year of Pac Man - has cost businesses big in the number of hours of lost work.
It's said office workers around the world spent almost 5,000,000 hours playing the game on the Google shaped maze… mostly when they should have been working.
This means firms lost hours of potentially productive time and taking an average office salary of £17.50 per hour this equates to about £85m in lost productivity.
However it's not know if this is more or less time than is typically wasted checking Facebook pages -- anyway what are you doing reading this, shouldn't you be working?

Apologises Guys And Girls
Apologises to all about the lack of posts since Sunday.
I broke some bones in my right hand on Monday (see pic above) and it has really crippled me (Yes I know typical bloke, can't deal with any sort of pain). But seriously as a right handed person, even trying to use the mouse is a really painful task.
Hopefully the swelling and pain will go down in the next few days and I will be back up and posting my usual nonsense again.

Eco-Friendly Lawnmowers
Wallabies are being sold in the UK as eco-friendly alternatives to lawnmowers.
The marsupials - which are said to be selling well - are described as being a great way of keeping the grass cut without any direct effort.
Wallaby breeder Mary Davies from West Sussex says demand is so high, she now has a waiting list of people wanting some for their gardens.
She says benefits include the fact they 'work' all day and can get into areas that you would struggle to with a lawnmower, though she admits they can't chew nice lines into your lawn.
But before you place your order, bare in mind the £300-1000 creatures have to be bought in pairs and you will need a garden of at least half an acre, and a tall fence.
