UK decides that it really really likes Star Wars
In a poll of five thousand people, 38% said that Star Wars was the greatest Sci-Fi movie of all time. Not Wall-E, Close Encounters, or Short Circuit, but Star Wars. Honestly, talk about predictable. Not only that but Darth Vader was voted most evil Villain, the Lightsaber was the most popular gadget and Han Solo is the most heroic sci-fi hero. Okay! We get it! You like Star Wars! Jeez…
In similarly less-than-shocking news, HG Wells was the nation’s favourite Sci-Fi author, and Star Trek beat out Red Dwarf and Doctor Who to win best Sci-Fi TV show. They only won because Star Wars wasn’t eligible for those categories, y’know.
The whole poll was in honour of a new web sci-fi series, called Kirill, which is only available at msn.com/kirill. If you’re a Sci-Fi fan, then go watch it, and maybe stop voting for Star Wars in surveys. It’s getting boring now. Vote for ET instead.

Finally, it’s possible to keep in contact with everyone when away from the desktop environment, and all from the single application…
Facebook set to become the UK's most popular website of all
The number crunchers over at Nielsen Online are claiming that if we don’t all do something about it quickly, Facebook will overtake Windows Live Messenger as the most popular website in the UK.
Currently 2.4 billion minutes are spent on Facebook each month, with growth in the area of 20% each year. Surprisingly, Google is only at number four on Nielsen’s charts, with just 900 million minutes given to the search engine a month. The decline of MSN and other IM programs has been,…
Microsoft and RIM jump into bed together, offer Windows Live services for BlackBerry phones
Research In Motion has been extremely busy this balmy day, first announcing the Bold 9000 smartphone, and now a collaboration with Microsoft allowing for Windows Live services to be used on BlackBerry handsets.
