The Weekly Round-Up: 16.05.08

Job interviews: So you think you've got them sussed?

The Weekly Round-Up: 09.05.08

Round-Up Call it a miserable old cynic but The Round-Up's guessing the government won't lose too much sleep over unclaimed benefits. The Round-Up would like to think this was by emitting a loud and satisfying honk each time an untruth was uttered (although... [09 May 2008]

Cloud computing: Silver lining…

Round-Up It's a rare old week when the Round-Up gets a chance to consider how the aphorisms of the father of modern lexicography come to bear on the life of the modern city worker - but this week is a welcome exception. [25 Apr 2008]

The Weekly Round-Up: 18.04.08

Round-Up This week - a chance to help write your own gags for the Round-Up. Not willing to take the Round-Up's word for it? The Round-Up thinks not. And relax with your MP3 player of choice and the silicon.com Weekly Round-Up podcast. [18 Apr 2008]

The Weekly Round-Up: 11.04.08

Round-Up For the record, the Round-Up thinks the word he was really after was 'drones'. There's too much confusion here, the Round-Up can't get no relief. No idea what the Round-Up is talking about? It almost makes the Round-Up want to open four iPlayer... [11 Apr 2008]

The Weekly Round-Up: 04.04.08

Round-Up The Round-Up's aware of at least one enterprise search company that actually has something quite similar in its marketing collateral. Both companies put a fair bit of effort into the stunt - sign up to colonise Mars in a grand 100-year plan - which... [04 Apr 2008]

Editor's Blog: My Freecycle identity crisis

Comment Simply - I don't want to have someone who calls themselves doomwarrior666 coming round my house at the weekend to pick up a bed. Recently I had a bed I wanted to get rid of - one that was, I felt, too good to spend the next 1,000 years rotting in... [01 Apr 2008]

The Weekly Round-Up: 07.03.08

Round-Up Even the Round-Up isn't that impressionable. The Round-Up, being the impressionable type, believes anything published on the internet. Clearly, this is a new application of the word 'excited' that the Round-Up was previously unaware of. [07 Mar 2008]

The Weekly Round-Up: 29.02.08

Round-Up The Round-Up happily acknowledges that using the word 'boffin' to describe scientists is lazy and possibly derogatory. The Round-Up should point out that it is not a world-renowned expert on bumblebee psychology but you’d already guessed that, hadn... [29 Feb 2008]
