Comment At the end of the day, if this wasn't the role for you, there is almost certainly a better one round the corner. But on the whole, the aim is not to trip you up. They could be standing between you and success, says Cathy Holley of headhunters...

Round-Up The Round-Up's guessing the minister has already decided its press-friendly, vote-winner of a policy is good to go. Call it a miserable old cynic but The Round-Up's guessing the government won't lose too much sleep over unclaimed benefits.

Comment And if it doesn't now, it soon will do as competition heats up and the various players get their acts together. Dig a little deeper and you'll see that to make the economics work for buyer and seller, the more the applications, processing and...

Round-Up The HMRC has discussed 11 data security incidents involving customer information with the Information Commissioner's Office since April 2005, has stopped data transfers unless there is a business critical need, and now demands adequate security...

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.

Comment Utility companies have the most mobile workers - lots of field service engineers rushing round reporting faults - and finance organisations have the most external workers - all those inter-company financial transactions.

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.

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...

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...

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. So I decided to have a go at Freecycling it instead, which to my surprise threw up some interesting questions about...

Round-Up Planes, trains and automobiles - the title of an amusing comedy flick starring Steve Martin is also a neat segue into the Round-Up's opening gambit, after a week gorging itself senseless on chocolate eggs and iPlayer programmes.

Round-Up This reinvention has been done mostly through acquisitions - around $1bn was spent last year trying to consolidate its position in the market but frankly the Round-Up was none the wiser. Although the Round-Up had already told you.

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.

Round-Up The Round-Up likes to imagine the 'complex choices' of the bumblebees might be something along the lines of: "That one's plastic, that one's plastic, so is that one. As the news sent shockwaves across the globe, the Round-Up was delighted to note...

Round-Up It was the Round-Up's first thought. Like the Round-Up said: trustworthy computing. If the answer is yes, then the Round-Up has good news for you. Just why the astronaut couldn't use the built-in radio in the helmets as they did back in the days of...

Round-Up Again, pretty revolutionary stuff, the Round-Up is sure you'll agree. As well as a few actual iPhones, the Round-Up presumes. The sheer outrage makes the Round-Up's blood boil. Quite frankly, the Round-Up finds this harder to swallow than it would...

Round-Up Once again, after one too many cinnamon cappuccinos, the Round-Up is transported behind the scenes of this week's momentous events in Redmond and Mountain View, California to see what might have been…

Round-Up The Round-Up certainly would. The Round-Up added the bit about 'gits'). Let's take an analogy - and being a dyed-in-the-wool traditionalist the Round-Up's going to use the usual car analogy to differentiate between Macs and PCs.
[01 Feb 2008]
Round-Up Does the Round-Up really need to point out that this is the latest in an increasingly long line of data loss blunders by the government? Pretty catchy we think you'll admit but not one the Round-Up expects the MoD to be using any time soon.
[25 Jan 2008]
Round-Up Now, most of the Round-Up's notifications are to do with challenges to reveal its inner chav, posts to its multimedia ultra-wall and invitations to become a zombie. A reasonably tech-savvy friend of the Round-Up this week managed to send a...
