Being conscious about how high-technology impacts our environment (see previous postings on such topics here, and here and here.) I was interested to see that there are those who think that Google should tone down it’s homepage to have less white on it.

The interest in Joost is quite exciting. Clearly those geeks that want to get TV on their home computers are keen to do so. But there are plenty other options if you can’t get on the Joost beta.

I must admit I totally missed the Joost for Mac alpha annoucement on the Joost website (you need to be logged in to see it). Perhaps all the excitement of building my new PC meant that I didn’t check the Joost site enough Once I’ve got my Media Center PC back up an running [...]
