(Dec 31 2003 15:00 GMT) - No sign of a strike and tubes will run all nightWell I think the New Year's Eve bit of the squash strike is also off as I can't see any mention of it in the news. And "for one night only" the tube will be running all night for New Year "revellers" and transport is free from 11.44pm and 4.30am. So no just missing the last train and no hideously slow night buses - just wish they could do it every weekend. |

Firstly we have the follow up of their "star crossed lovers" The Tunnel of Love photo story (first seen on the 8th December), about people who see each other each day on the tube, finally plucking up the courage to speak and get together. The particuarly weird thing about the photos though is that they're supposed to be on the tube on New Year's Eve, strangely the rest of the carriage is empty. No cans of lager, no people holding cans of lager, no people saying "Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh", no people saying "Cheer up luv it's New Year's Eve", no people bellowing "Happy New Year" when you're trying to sleep off an upcoming hangover. Most peculiar. |

XBox 2 for Mac? (Dec 31 2003 15:00 GMT) - Kelly McNeill writes "Anyone that follows the console gaming industry knows that Microsoft wants to gain a larger user base of its XBOX game platform. While Microsoft looses money on the console, the company's business model is to eventually make that back on games titles. Unfortunately, the adoption rate of the XBOX isnt as promising as Microsoft had initially hoped. The following osViews editorial contributor believes that Microsoft might have an untapped resource in Apple to help achieve its XBOX goals." |
