Irresponsible Reporting April 10, 2008
Posted by Burhan in : Miscellaneous , add a commentI stumbled upon this article titled Five reasons why Vista beats Mac OSX over at ComputerWorld, a magazine normally known for quality reporting.

Unfortunately it isn’t, and the 109 people that commented on it seemed to agree.

It is part of an ambitious project to link together 400,000 mosques in the ‘Smart Mosque’ project across 3 years. More details at compuworld malaysia.
