PFI school rebuilding risky - MPs

The Commons Education Committee says there are risks linked to the method chosen to fund half the £45bn rebuild - the private finance initiative (PFI).

Three PFI schools are closing because of a lack of pupils, but councils are still contracted to pay the bills.

55 reasons you shouldn’t use the Wikipedia

Clip Source: joeanderson.co.uk

The Wikipedia’s like Britannica… but for Commies.

Your history lecturer doesn’t like it

It’s free (gratis). The Britannica costs infinitely more and therefore must be better!

It keeps asking for a donation. Just like a beggar. Why doesn’t it go and get itself a job?!

Jimbo’s cheating on Google

In Communist China, you don’t read the Wikipedia, it’s blocked

Councillor weds Bin Laden's son

Jane met Bin Laden's son while horse riding around the Pyramids

"He talked about his childhood, his life with his father of course as every son would talk about his father."

Omar, who is Bin Laden's fourth eldest son, is currently working as a scrap metal dealer in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while his new bride applies for a visa so he can visit Britain.

Jane Felix-Browne, from Moulton, near Northwich, married Omar Osama Bin Laden, 27, after romance blossomed during a holiday in Egypt.

However, she insisted that her new husband has had no contact with his father since 2000.

The search is continuing for a British computer expert and his four bodyguards who were seized last month from a building belonging to the Iraqi finance ministry by men in police uniform.

In fact, militia infiltration is believed to be such that no one walks anywhere in the Green Zone for fear of being snatched off the street

Something About Clipmarks

clipper's remarks: Something about Clipmarks in a language I can't read.

Clip Source: strangnet.se

Google Notebook som släpptes alldeles nyligen och som diskuterats en del på sistone, kanske inte faller alla lika i smaken. Jag tyckte inte riktigt att den hade det lilla extra, även om det verkar finnas tecken på att Notebook är förberett för att kopplas ihop med andra tjänster från Google.

Något som å andra sidan ser intressant ut när det gäller att notera webben är Clipmarks, som SolutionWatch skriver en väldigt ingående genomgång om. Clipmarks ser onekligen väldigt trevligt ut och ett tilltalande gränssnitt är värt rätt mycket - funktionellt verkar den ha en hel del intressanta lösningar.

Dessutom har den en social bit också, vilket jag märkt med Cocomment är en otrolig ny dimension på hur man använder webben. Webby’s World har också en intressant genomgång av Clipmarks.
