 It has been a while since I broached the subject, so the latest search share rankings press release from Nielsen//NetRatings has provided me with a perfect excuse to take a look at the current state of the search engines.
According to the release, Google is the runaway leader at the moment with 50% of all searches (some 2.8 billion) conducted through them during September. The next most used is Yahoo with 23% of the searches, with MSN, Aol, Ask and My Way all lagging some way behind.
{Added} The comscore search activity analysis for September states Google leads the way on 45%.

 After a decade of not being able to say it without being hissed at, it seems you can't go anywhere without hearing the word nuclear again these days.
Whether it be test explosions in North Korea, or reintroducing it into the UK's energy mix, it seems to be flavour of the month. So putting MAD to one side, once again we find ourselves in need of reopening the thorny issue of nuclear waste disposal.

I felt I had to make a note of this article purely for the the great tagline. It conveys a simple but important message in a clever and arresting manner.
At any rate, if the argument of content over links interests you, head this way to read "If you market they will come, If you have content they will stay."

I guess it would be a dumb question if I asked how many people found others talking loudly on phones to be immensely irritating.
Unfortunately I count myself as one of those annoying people, as I have a deep voice and when I talk softly it tends to get drowned out by the background noise. Therefore the news of a commercial product allowing us to communicate silently being available within the next few years could be a godsend.

Ever since the appearance of laser guns in science fiction films, we have been waiting for them to make an appearance in real life.
Despite constant rumours of tests they seem to have been stuck in development hell. My thanks then to this Wired News article which follows up on the development of a number of different energy weapons.
