I love the new Mozilla Firefox. But I noticed something funny this morning when I tried to access some of my usual news websites. The scrollbar was missing. When I tried to get around this problem by using the PgUp and PgDn keys, my page appeared to scroll down, then a split second later bounced …

None of us at home are doing anything special this Valentine’s Day. As with many of my colleagues and friends, we think this occasion has become too commercialised. And it’s not like we can’t do something special for each other on any other day. I know of women who have told their husbands not to …
