Somebody once told me many commercials aim to place an alternative brand in your head, in case your regular runs out. When you’re happy with your brand and there’s plenty, a 30″ spot isn’t gonna change that.

My newspaper De Standaard ran out last week; kicking and screaming I bought De Morgen, an avalanche of [...]

There’s been some commotion concerning the discovery of the first virus ever for the modern Mac. Finally, Norton Anti-virus has reason to exist. One wanders why people have been scanning their Macs for viruses routinely every week. Did I mention you have to download and double-click this new virus yourself? To further add to the [...]
