One of the most exciting things that people are using their computers for nowadays is online bingo. Online bingo has grown massively in recent years because it has found new markets that went previously unexplored. When bingo halls were used to play the game, there wasn’t much attraction for younger audiences.

One bingo company that was around in the days of bingo halls and still runs several up and down the country is Mecca Bingo. However, Mecca Bingo now runs a very successful online bingo site that is well worth checking out if you’re interested in getting into bingo.

The site offers plenty of promotions and allows you to interact with other players to discover the best games out there. Playing online bingo is a great way of suing your computer for something fun and it could even result in a healthy windfall every now and again!

Epsilon, a marketing company specialising in email distribution, recently suffered a data breach that revealed the addresses of 2% of their clients. This includes M&S, as well as other big names such as the hotel chain Hilton. A spokesperson for M&S has assured that those affected by this security lapse need not worry about other personal details have been exposed.

Although no account details have been accessed, the fact that the intruders managed to obtain these large mailing lists means an influx of spam email messages to the victims is probable.

For most of us, watching TV and surfing the web are two separate activities entirely, although 2 is soon likely to become 1, as news reaches our ears that Google and Apple are both about to unleash devices which will give users the chance to watch the web on their televisions.

These devices could really change the way we watch TV and use the internet, and an expert agrees:

“…if you’ve grown up with the Internet, where you’re already watching a lot entertainment on Hulu or Netflix, this is the next evolution of taking that from the laptop onto the TV screen.”

Being technologically away myself, I can tell you that this won’t happen on the mainstream and if some people did do this and adopt such methods for their lives,  sooner or later they will realise it’s downfalls and move elsewhere.

What’s your opinion on this?

Do you agree?

Athough the content of web pages is written in different languages and use different characters such as Cyrllic or Chinese.  To access these pages required a domain which used roman script. To people familiar with roman characters, this might not seem like a big deal but 0.75 billion people use characters other than Roman so for them it will make life easier. The new domains could be in use as early as soon as next year.

Although the change might seem like a small one, to put it into practice will require significant changes to the Domain Name System (DNS). Computers on the internet are accessible by a group of four numbers known as the IP address. When a page is requested from a website, the domain name is resolved into the IP address though a domain name server. This acts like a telephone directory, revealing the IP address for a particular domain. The biggest challenge for international scripts will be to convert the character set to an IP address.
