…last week I found myself prasing Tony Blair, and this week it’s hats off to Bill Gates (for his stance on the need for modernised privacy regulation).

I wonder which unlikely candidate i’ll have to praise next, perhaps Osama Bin Laden might blow up the HSBC call centre in India that wasted 20 mins of my life yesterday (please let the people out first….).

A lovely quote today on silicon.com:

‘silicon.com reader Nick Cole wrote: “It’s all part of rip-off Britain. Don’t charge what it costs to produce or develop, with a reasonable overhead, but charge as much as possible. Swapping a dollar sign for a pound sign is the easiest way of achieving that.”

With the exchange rate the way it is at present i’m surprised we don’t all jet off to USA once a month to go shopping.

I suppose the main thing that stops us is the horrendous customer experience associated with air travel these days.
