A Personal note:
If you have been a long time subscriber you will
know that Sara's mum passed away a few months
ago. Since then I have not been able to publish
a regular newsletter, but things are now
getting back to "normal" and so here is the 1st
of my regular "Marc Talks Tech" newsletters!
Also, we were at a family
wedding last month and so I have uploaded a few
photos of Sarah and I for those subscribers that
have been following my various online newsletters over the last
4 years :-)

Enjoy!
PS - I hope you like the new
look I am applying to all my websites!

# Google Scraps Paid For Downloads!
In 2006 Google announced a "paid for" video
download service to great applause. Then without
notice, shut the program down in August 2007

out of pocket too.
Then, after a massive backlash of comments,
Google backed down and offered full refunds....
