Some questions that are being asked in Iran...
- When will the recount occur?
- Why were there more ballot papers issued than were counted?
- Why did areas loyal to the opposition not get enough ballot papers?
- Why were the polling stations closed early?
- Who will perform the recount?
- Does this recount null and void the previous result?
- Why is there not more about this in the mainstream news?
- Why has the current regieme imposed harsh restrictions on communications in and out of the country?

The worlds innovation hubs mapped out. Sad that Ireland is not even mentioned on this map.

Jonathan Clarke's Shared Items
So the world and their mother should now know that I have a brand new Google Ion/HTC magic phone. It’s seriously kickass. Anyhow, one of the applications I have fallen in love with is NewsRob, it allows me to sync all of my unread google items, read them offline, add stars and share them at will, once I come back into wifi it uploads all unread/shared items. So I’m finding myself on a train without wifi for about 3 hours every day I head to work and I’ve been getting through my enormous set of RSS feeds.
The articles I’ve been thinking are the cream of the crop are now being shared at this link, if your one of my contacts in Google you should already be getting it. If not, just check it out and subscribe here.

Ireland should be ashamed of itself…not for the faint of heart.

The Irish Broadcasting Bill 2009 - what a rip off...
From http://stochasticgeometry.wordpress.com”, The Broadcasting Bill 2009 (currently in the last stages of becoming the Broadcasting Act 2009 and then being commenced into law in Ireland) has thrown up a rather unpleasant little nugget for broadband users in Ireland. It now defines a television set as being an electronic apparatus able to receive TV signals or “any software or assembly comprising such apparatus” which would mean that even if you haven’t got a television set, even if you don’t watch streaming content from RTE.ie (the state broadcaster’s website), you’d still have to pay 160 euro a year for a television license for your iPhone, or netbook, or laptop or desktop if you have fixed or mobile broadband.”
I’m not a particular fan of this happening. This makes the assumption, that if you are in Ireland and use the internet, do not watch television and RTE’s crap content, then you are going to still have to pay for a television licence. How the hell did this get under the radar? This will also mean that should you have a tv tuner on your laptop you will also have to stump up for a licence.
Frankly, Ireland should be completely up in arms about this. People have been talking about rip off Ireland for years, this is yet another nail in the coffin of its citizens.

Quite addicted to this song lately. Getting great airplay in Ireland, might be getting sick of it if I was living there though…
