Anyone know where to get an MP3 car stereo? Not one that allows you to play a CD with mp3’s on it, but actually has a HD like the iPod. My brother is interested in one for an Xmas pressie and I wouldn’t mind one for my jammer (car
) too.

Backlash and confusion have dogged Google’s plans to scan millions of books, and, while continuing with its efforts, it has opted for a name change from Google Print to Google Book Search.
“We don’t think that this new name will change what some folks think about this program,”
“But we do believe it will help a lot of people understand better what we’re doing.”
Do you believe them? I sure as hell don’t. Why does Gator… er, I mean Claria spring to mind?

Happy birthday dear Keith,

Plenty of people have been talking about whether or not those that refuse to adopt web standards in web design should be entitled to call themselves web professionals.
While I agree that those who design should be looking to learn web standards, I also feel that not everyone has the same learning curve when it comes to standards. Some people need more time to learn than others. I especially didn’t like one particular quote from John Oxton (certain words censored):
What I want is HTML that kicks up a royal f*****g stink if it isn’t treated properly. HTML that takes no s**t, with a built in big flashy message (GO AWAY AND LEARN ABOUT ME!) for people who refuse to take the time to learn this super simple language and who refuse to refine their understanding.
I think some people seem to forget that it’s not a ’super simple language’ to everyone. That quote is like a typical ‘RTFM’ response you’d get on a forum. Don’t slate someone just because they don’t know as much as you. I’m sure you wouldn’t like the same response from someone who knows more about another topic than you.
