IT gives Woolies no downtime Christmas present
Woolworths' investment in transaction processing tech has paid off for the retail chain, after it experienced a downtime-free Christmas period. Speaking at the company's half yearly results announcement yesterday, Woolworths CEO Michael Luscombe revealed that the company's sales technology had seen its supermarkets process transactions faster than ever during the festive period. "It's the first Christmas we had 92 percent [of credit card transactions] completed in under one second and over 99 percent completed in less than two seconds and we had no downtime. "It's the first Christmas we had that speed and that time, and the investment in state of art tech has been well worthwhile and obviously will create a platform for other transactions we have out there in the marketplace," Luscombe said, highlighting its ATMs and credit card business.

Bob is welcome anytime in the zoo, that's never been a point of contention. "It's not a rift. Bob has decided to go his different way.''

"We're a big strong family and that will never change,'' Mr Mannion said. Share this article What is this? .
Larry Lessig Officially Considers Run For Congress
While techies like to loudly complain about the music industry's intellectual property, tech companies would be nothing if anybody could copy software or hardware designs whenever they wanted. Strangely, nobody complains about the intrusive anti-piracy software that comes with applications. (reply to this comment) (link to this comment) Re: Funny by zcat on Feb 20th, 2008 @ 4:00am Stupid comment. There is not one single tech company today that is making a profit from untouched 14-year old code. Copyright could be rolled back to a term of 14 years (without even the option of extending it another 14 years) and it would not make one bit of difference to the tech industry. (reply to this comment) (link to this comment) Re: Funny by Shaun on Feb 20th, 2008 @ 4:01am Oh so it looks like all those commercial Linux distros couldn't possibly be making and money with everyone, even their competitors copying their software for free.

Bathinda, January 14
One can get a refill here on paying Rs 400 or Rs 450 for the cylinder in black whereas the actual price is around Rs 300. The extent of the problem faced by the people can be gauged from the fact that Boota Singh, a resident of Paras Ram Nagar, who had booked a cylinder on December 29, 2007 has not got the refill till date. Singh alleged that the dealers themselves are involved in selling LPG cylinders in black as they issue domestic cylinders to hoteliers close to them at a special price. On the other hand, disclosing the actual reason behind the problem, a senior gas agency official said, The main reason is the government policy as it has tightened its fist when it came to subsidies. Now, the major hurdle is that the government does not want to hike the LPG price to offset the problem as it can have serious repercussions for it.
Samsung's Mobile Fashion Statement
The iPhone is a near-perfect device. That's why I'm already tired of it. The problem with perfection is it begets popularity. Seemingly every week, another person in my gadget-loving office walks in brandishing a big grin and an iPhone. While it remains easy to be impressed with Apple's (AAPL) touch-screen marvel, I want something a little more exclusive if I'm going to spend $400 on a cell phone. I want one that will inspire oohs, aahs, and, dare I say, a little envy. To find such a phone, I looked to Korea and Britain. When it comes to mobile devices, our chatty friends across the Pacific and Atlantic are known for getting the latest and greatest a bit earlier than us here in the U.S. Samsung responded to my search with its Giorgio Armani P520, a touch-screen fashion phone released earlier this month in Europe.
