As there is no gravity in space, the ink wouldn't flow.They wasted years and millions of dollars for the research to get that perfect pen.

So far, Ian has recommended StumbleUpon, Ponso recommended some Games and Shows, while Rowell is a freak for World of Warcraft.

read moreLike most programmers, my out of work time is still spent online - surfing, searching, learning and entertaining myself and others. With the 2010 FIFA World Cup around the corner, KAYWEB staff are blogging our favourite time-consuming websites which will hopefully help keep Aussies awake while they sit around between matches and burn the midnight oil.
read moreAt KAYWEB, we programmers are considered the geeks of the operation. We are the ones who finish our day's work focussed in front of a computer. Then we go home and again turn on our computers, this time for enjoyment. With the 2010 FIFA World Cup around the corner, Australia and Asia will have many interested observers who will need to be up at untimely hours waiting for their desired match to kick-off.

Aside from the hundreds of hours spent in front of our then-black and white coloured TV, we formulated many strategies on how to beat the different stages as well as learned from some of our friends the "thirty lives" cheat on Contra.
read moreThe COMSCORE Australia social networking usage study (August 2009) shows an overwhelming graph of statistics. A more than 1000% growth of Twitter over Facebook causes different reactions; some are happy to know that over 800,000 Aussies are now active on Twitter, while other consider this a typical figure for the later-released Twitter, which is still way behind the 6,000,000 Australian users of Facebook. While the first finding's reasons can be argued, the next finding cannot. That
