An online survey commissioned by Intel has uncovered that 46% of women and 30% of men would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for the same length of time. Intel's goal was not to necessarily compare these two activities but rather to show how essential the Internet has become to people. Of course the survey was conducted online and that probably skews the results... of course the Internet is important to these respondents otherwise they would not have found the survey in the first place. Other findings, according to the Wall Street Journal "95% of respondents said it is very important, important or somewhat important for people to have devices that allow them to access the Internet, and 84% said they saved money by comparing prices online and finding the best deals before making purchase decisions."

Pay for newspaper's online content no more!
reportonbusiness.com, the Globe and Mail's online business news site is discussing the demise of subscription based online newspaper content. With the New York Times abandoning the practice of charging for content last week and Rupert Murdoch the reported suitor of the Wall Street Journal considering the same, it could be the end of the practice. While other sites have already opted for the traditional web model of banner ads and pay per click, the move of these two sites is heralded as the end of subscription based content, at least in the news paper game.

Tip toeing around the IT department
The Wall Street Journal has a top ten list of things the IT department won't tell you. These are tips similar to what you'll find on Lifehacker or boing boing, and covers such things as how to visit sites the IT department doesn't want you to visit or how to cover your tracks before you return the company laptop. The neat thing about this list is that it comes with it's benefits and risks clearly spelled out. Use them at your own risk, enjoy! Sorry Graham & John, I don't do any of these, honest!
