Innovation from the ground up
Posted in July 20th, 2009
There is a new Irish website called collab.ie that is doing a really interesting thing. It is providing people with a place to go with an idea and look for other people that might have complementary skills to make the idea really fly. This post is a really good example. I think this needs to […]

For the past decade when things were going well, the government provided support to Science Foundation Ireland, who dispense research grant funding to Irish third-level institutes. This has resulted in an increase in the numbers of PhD graduates and has provided for the training of post-doctoral research scientists and has provided places in third-level institutes […]

I have identified three areas where there is need for structural reform in order for Ireland to prosper in the future - electoral reform, educational reform and entrepreneurial reform. These are my thoughts on these issues.
1. Reform the system of election. There should be at least 10% of the elected officials (Senate and Dail) without […]

Another Shocker from Clearwire Broadband
Posted in April 10th, 2008
As you might know I am having a tussle with Clearwire broadband at the moment - I asked them in early 2007 to provide me with their 1Mb connection. They have been charging me their 2Mb connection fee and despite repeated phone calls, they never changed. They then continued to charge me 49.99 […]
ISPs now to publish their real speeds
Posted in March 14th, 2008
Before I start, let me say NEVER GET CLEARWIRE BROADBAND.
Now, that I have said that, lets see what else I want to say.
Yesterday, the newspapers carried the story that in future, Internet Service Providers will no longer get away with saying their equipment will provide “up to” a certain broadband speed. They will have […]
DO NOT GET CLEARWIRE BROADBAND
Posted in February 28th, 2008
Clearwire are still taking my money months after I asked them to stop doing it.
Do not, I REPEAT do not get clearwire broadband.
Their service is lousy and their customer support is lousy and they have refused time and again to stop charging me for a service I am no longer using.
Do not get […]
Internet service Proivider
Posted in February 22nd, 2008
This morning I changed my internet service provider from Clearwire to ChorusNTL. Clearwire were supposedly providing me with a 2Mb connection and ChorusNTL are providing me with a 1Mb connection speed, 80 digital channels and a landline (VOIP) telephone for the same money.
Why then is my new ChorusNTL connection approximately 4 times faster?
Clearwire - […]
New Apple ultra-light laptop to be announced today?
Posted in January 15th, 2008
The Apple MacWorld Expo is on today at the Moscone Centre in downtown San Francisco (where I once worked as a security guard, amazingly) and the apple website is carrying the slogan for the conference: “There’s Something in the Air”.
The blogosphere is alive with the rumour of a new Apple Ultra Light computer that is […]
