I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:

Even though their ad share slipped ever so slightly in quarter 4 last year, they still pulled in over $25B. I can't believe people click on so many ads.

I'm so stunned by this that you may have noticed I've started experimenting with AdSense on my various...
XML turned 10 years old on10 Feb. I remember working on a project back in the very late 90s (can't be sure when but it was using SQL 7.0) and we decided to use XML as a mechanism for storing certification results (so yes, we were using XML in SQL 7.0 – quite an achievement in itself).

This beast of a product is powering almost all their internal development (only a few teams remain – according to a Joe...
