Rewind seventeen years – Ace of Base was on the radio, Shindler’s List won 7 Oscars and Nelson Mandela became President of South Africa. And nobody knew what the Internet was. On US television, The Today Show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel certainly didn’t. In this video clip from January 24th […]
So the Home Office has put up a new website showing crime spots across the UK and it promptly crashed. This shouldn’t be any surprise or a real issue. If 4 million people try to access just about any site in a day, especially one as database-intensive as that one […]
