What ever happend to Guiness Surger?
For those that are not aware, Guiness Surger is the ultimate Guiness gadget. It allows you to get an almost perfect pint of Guiness in the comfort of you own home. When it was originally released the Surger cans were distributed soley through Tesco's Extra stores, now it would appear that they no longer do them.
Am I just unlucky or has Surger finally died a death?
For those that haven't seen it in action here's a video I posted to YouTube a while ago.
What a bloody day!
Well today was meant to be a day of cellebrations with Jo starting her new job and it being our 18th wedding aniversary, it's amazing how the careless actions of others can change things...
Google Street View privacy issue dismissed
Judge dismisses Google lawsuit via BBC NEWS | Technology.
I've gotta say this one made me smile, I've even created a new tag for it "only in America"...
A legal claim by a Pitsburg couple, The Borings, that a picture of their house on Google Street View caused them "mental suffering" blah, blah, blah!
I for one am happy to see this case thrown out of court. The whole "sue you" culture that has evolved in the US and is now spreading into UK culture is wrong, in my opinion it lessens us as a people and trivialises true suffering .
It would have been so easy for Google to pay the $25,000 to make this go away, they could have paid the money and essentially press the same button the Boring's didn't even bother to. But to have done so would have lent credence to this idiotic claim, so Google stuck to their guns and won.
Got any other stories of ludicrous "sue you" cases being thrown out? Leave a comment.
