Only colleague (but not for long) Simon Willison and I have been spending a hell of a lot of time over the last three weeks sitting in a tiny room with lots of whiteboards puzzling over motives for collecting and sharing and - frankly - it's semi doing my nut....

"babes" naja...
Ist das etwa für die Leute die entgültig mit den anderen Geschlecht in atmender Form abgeschlossen haben?

Bei 60 Prozent der jüngeren deutschen Männer kommt die Computerspiel-Heldin Lara Croft besser an als Top-Models wie Heidi Klum oder Eva Padberg. laut EIDOS Umfrage...

Der einzige Kommentar der mir zur aktuellen Lara einfällt ist 'gut gerendert' und das ist eine rein technische Aussage.
