Pixsta throws down the gauntlet to Google | Beam me up
Dublin: an Irish Star Trek convention is in the works

UK based company Pixsta claims it can challenge
Google's dominance of the internet search market. Pixsta,
which specialise in image searching, claims to have developed
a search engine that can do image-to-image searches based
around the context of the images used. This would be a step
ahead of Google's current platform where searches for images
rely on text-based terms.  





Pat McDonagh, the chairman of e-learning firm,
Thirdforce, has increased his personal stake in the
company to 23.87 percent. McDonagh made the purchase after
shares in the company fell by 18.75 percent to EUR0.13 from
an opening price of EUR0.16 on Friday. 





Never shy of a bit of smash-and-grab, Grand Theft Auto
IV has shattered the UK single-day game sales record. A
total of 609,000 copies of the game were sold on its first
day of release. This was well clear of the previous record of
501,000 copies which was held by a previous game in the
franchise, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. 





OneVision has submitted an application to operate all
three Broadcasting Commission of Ireland Digital Terrestrial
Television licences in Ireland. OneVision is a consortium of
Eircom, Setanta, TV3 and Arqiva. 





IT managed services provider Typetec has appointed
Paul Mahon as the firm's new Solutions Architect.  Mahon
will lead the presales team, designing IT systems to fit
customers' business requirements. 





Finally For the Record has good news for all the Star
Trek fans that visit this site. Dublin will play host to
a Star Trek convention in summer 2009. The organisers of the
event have already secured the attendance of several actors
who played bit part characters from the sci-fi series and are
working on attracting bigger names to the convention, which
is expected to be held in the Royal Dublin Hotel.
