Tuesday, February 10th, 2009So the second issue of Village Magazine 2.0 is coming under some legal scrutiny from Declan Ganley, following the publication of a profile critical of the man himself.
This is sure to be of some concern to Michael Smith and all at Village as legal battles with millionaires are never good for a publication’s bottom line, […]

Review: Lenovo IdeaPad s10e
Monday, February 2nd, 2009Previously published in Business & Finance, 15th-29th January 2009. Information correct at the time of going to print.

The Irish Times has been quite impressive of late when it comes to its online content, however it is still forcing a subscription on printed content more than a year old. By 2010 I believe this awkward limitation will be gone.
While The Irish Times was an industry leader when […]

At some point in 2009 the Irish Government will accept that the EU-recommended deadline for the digital TV switch-over in 2012 is too ambitious for Ireland to meet. They may do so for their own financial reasons, for the financial reasons of the DTT-contract holder or simply […]
