The new Hasselblad H1D

October 20th, 2004 by admin

The new H1D from Hasselblad – Probably the most overkill you’re going to see in a DSLR any time soon

One review quotes:

the 22 megapixel Hasselblad H1D forgoes storage cards entirely, favoring an integrated 40GB hard drive (which is entirely necessary, considering that each of the images it produces weighs 132MB)

October 12th, 2004 by admin

Slashdot reports that :

IT Manager’s Journal reports that a recent email survey by the authors of a new book called ‘Crap Jobs’ says that IT managers have the U.K’s third-worst job — ranking just below phone sex operator (No. 1) and ferry cabin cleaner (No. 2).

But this comment seems to bear it out …

Update: Just mentioned this to my manager – ht took it rather well – strangely !

BreakingNews.ie: Driver claims 120 mph car had a mind of its own

I’ve actually heard of a similar story here – on the M50 where the Cruise control got stuck on a brand-new Merc … took out a queue of four cars at the toll-booths seemingly.

It only gets better …

American Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has admitted he has not seen any “strong, hard evidence” linking ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden�s al-Qaida.

That’s about as official as it gets !
