Sometimes you just have to laugh - take this one for example - Gates doesn't want to be the world's richest man - the way I figure, that should be an easy objective - just ship some of it my way if you like, Bill - just enough to make you not the world's richest man will do me just fine thanks.

Working mainly in a technology area and having exposure to lots of support issues this one caught my eye - 10 user complaints about IT support - think I'll run the the top 10 IT complaints about users, customers, partners (or whatever you'd like to call them these days) - Number 1 would be "Why, when you pay as little as possible, do you expect everything and everything immediately?" - if you want a Rolls Royce then don't pay for a Motorcycle....

For those of you looking to protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance and security threats caused by spyware you could worse than take a look at Microsoft's Windows® Defender (Beta 2) which is also a freebie.

One of my colleagues reminded me of this classic site - Engrish - some real rippers in here - I like this one (note the wires, too!) but there a couple of hundred more worth a peek.

Take care out there!
