1 km Sink Hole Appears Under a Village in Quebec

A family died in their basement while watching a hockey game.

From what I heard on Radio-Canada radio, apparently some clays have an unstable structure, when humid they can change molecular structure and suddenly go from solid to liquid.  Scary!

Le eCommerce Augmente en France

Cet article mentionned que le eCommerce commence (finalement) a prendre de l'essort en France.

Comme Canadien, j'aimerais bien trouver un site qui indexerait ou evaluerait les sites Web pour qu'on puisse savoir ou aller.

UK Chip (Crisp) Flavours

On the CNET 404 podcast some weeks ago they were not impressed by the Lays Cheeseburger-flavoured chips they can buy now in New York.

On another podcast they mentioned that in Canada we can buy Ketchup-flavoured chips.

In the UK, they have a gamut of interesting flavours, from Chutney to  Cheeseburger etc.

Not sure if you can get those outside Canada, but here we can also find Roast Chicken, Poutine, Bacon, Pork Ribs flavoured chips.

It's all about the flavouring I guess, not the chips anymore.

Oracle Technology Network Site Quirks

Oracle is updating their site all the time, but lately I have noticed a lot of links which don't lead anywhere.  Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

If you haven't tried to go to OTN lately, don't try.  Oracle isn't updating the page anymore, it's a mess.

Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html instead

 

But don't click on the Critical Patch Updates link...http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/alerts.htm
