Computers are going to boot much quicker because of this, in short BIOS is going to die off and be replaced by UEFI, in conjunction with flash RAM we could see a PC boot in a few seconds.

I thought this was an interesting development; Snowcrash might be interested in it.

Actually I thought Snowcrash might be interested in this, but have an idea that he probably already knows.

Have you got the no more missions bug in GTA4? If you have I might have found a fix, it worked for me.

Firstly load GTA4 and check your stats, do you have the Bernie missions showing? If like me you didn't have then do this.

Get a car and drive to Ivy Drive south, you should see a mission chevron waiting for you, outside the front door to Bernie's house. Just drive into or walk into the chevron and the mission should trigger as normal and fix the bug.

For some reason the mission doesn't show on the map but the mission is still there. Once you have completed the mission "Hating the Haters" your game should start working as normal and start showing missions on the map again.

This story came up on our front page at Ai Dreams courtesy of the BBC news feed. It's about Yahoo wanting to re-imagine itself and to stay relevant. It got me curious as recently I got fed up with the quality of Yahoo search results and was always getting a second opinion from Google. After a few months I simply had to concede that Google's results were so much better than Yahoo's, more relevant and got me what I wanted quickly.

So I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience with Yahoo ? I do use it for Mail still as their mail is very good imho and I check out the head lines. But they are slipping behind it seems.

Anyway I will stop rambling.... here's the article :
