Specsavers is commemorating 25 years in the eye business with its latest ‘should have gone to Specsavers’ TV advert.
Dubbed ‘Spermsavers’, the ad features a short-sighted sperm swimming past the egg it’s supposed to fertilise, before trying to impregnate the company logo.
Microsoft will release Office 2010 in June but until then there are some great alternatives.
In June Microsoft will release a final version of its Office 2010 productivity suite. Naturally many users will upgrade, at substantial cost, to the latest version of the popular Office suite, but for those not so eager to hand over their money to Microsoft there are still many great alternatives. And they are free.
OpenOffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org)
This has to be the number one alternative to Microsoft Office. The open source productivity tool includes all of the features offered by MS Office but for free. Version 3.0 of OpenOffice.org (OOo) was released in late 2008 and since then a number of update releases have been issued to fine tune its features.
A former prison inmate has been ordered to serve 18 months for hacking the facility’s computer network, stealing personal details of more than 1,100 of its employees and making them available to other inmates.
Francis G. Janosko, 44, received the sentence earlier this week in federal court in Boston after pleading guilty to the hacking offenses in September.
In 2006, Janosko hacked a thin client that was connected to a prison server to access the employee database for the Plymouth County Correctional Facility in Massachusetts, prosecutors alleged. After obtaining the names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers and telephone numbers of the employees, he made them accessible to other inmates.
Mark Shuttleworth has announced he is changing focus at Canonical and Jane Silber, COO, will take over as CEO. As Shuttleworth explains in his personal blog, from March 2010, he intends to focus his “Canonical energy” on product design, partnerships and customers. He considers these the areas which he enjoys the most and where he feels he can “best shape the impact we have on open source and the technology market”.
In the official announcement, Shuttleworth says he also feels that this will lead to a clearer separation between the roles of leading the Ubuntu community and being the CEO of Canonical by having two different people occupy these roles.
Silber, who is currently Chief Operating Officer and Director of Online Services at Canonical, joined the company in 2004, coming from a software development background to be involved in establishing and managing many parts of Canonical’s operations. The Ubuntu One project is currently lead by Silber and she says the company intends to begin a search for people to fill Silber’s current roles. Shuttleworth says the company considered hiring a new CEO from outside, but decided Silber had the background, experience and skills for the role.
A Story with a moral -
My girlfriend called me to her house one day. I walked in the door and found her sister alone in the house. She was unbelievably sexy.
She whispered in my ear, ”I’ve always had feelings for you, make love to me at once!”
I tried to remain calm. Knowing that my car was in the driveway, I turned around & walked to the front door.
I opened the front door and to my surprise I found my girlfriend standing there. She hugged me and said, “You have won my trust, I love you so much!”
MORAL : Its always better to keep the condoms in the car & not in your pocket.
