If you’re looking for something new and exciting to do this weekend, or you just fancy trying something new, why not have a look at what’s on at Wink Bingo?

There are many online bingo sites out there, as you’ll see if you visit the ohmybingo.com website. Wink Bingo, however, is the most famous, the most fun and definitely the most fabulous! The site always has loads of great promotions on, as well as loads of cash prizes and bonus offers.

Let’s take a quick look at the Wink Bingo schedule for this weekend:

• Don’t Bee Dafft – this sprightly spring special is offering players the chance to win anything from a stack of High Street vouchers to a brand new Nintendo 3DS console! To enter, simply play bingo as normal this weekend, collect points and claw your way to the top of the leaderboard.

• The Wheely Big £1k – there’s a £1,000 prize up for grabs at the end of this competition, which you can spend on anything you like (Wink recommends that you spend it on bicycles, apparently). The game plays on 11th June but you can get to work earning or buying your tickets for the game right away!

There are loads of reasons why you might want to get into playing the lottery. If you have never played the lottery before then it is incredibly easy to learn the rules. Most lottery games are very simple and are just based around guessing the correct combination of numbers in a random draw.

One of the great things about the lottery at the moment is the sheer number of games you can play. In the past, only the basic Lotto draw was available for players in the UK, but now the EuroMillions game has opened up even more opportunities in terms of jackpots.

It is also worth remembering that the Lotto draw and the Euromillions draw both occur twice a week, so you have ample opportunity to get involved. In recent times, the Euromillions draw has seen some lucky players share jackpots in excess of 100m which is a huge incentive if you’ve never played before.

It also helps that the lottery is so much more accessible nowadays than in the past. It was once the case that you could only enjoy the lottery if you bought a paper ticket from a local shop or supermarket. Of course, nowadays people play the lottery online as well.

This is advantageous in a couple of different ways. For starters, it means you can log on and buy your ticket at a time and place to suit you. However, it is also means that your precious ticket is backed up online in case you win a prize!

Online lottery is really exciting because there are loads of other games you can get involved in along the way – including instant jackpots. If you fancy giving yourself a shot at winning some really impressive jackpots then how is the time to learn the rules and start getting involved in the lottery.

It seems that the internet is being used by more and more people who want an easy way to buy goods. And social networking sites are the latest tools being used by the mayor players.

Online marketing and social media are being increasingly used by smaller business whose niche in their industry can be exploited expertly using this method of marketing. Being more cost effective than traditional marketing methods, the internet can be exploited to meet your specific needs. Many businesses have started adding articles, answering questions, and giving tips to prospective buyers and then tweeting followers about the latest addition to the site – the equivalent of letting all their best customers know they have a new product for sale or have some great offers in store.

In recent news it has emerged that iTunes accounts that are linked to Paypal have been targeted in a scam with a large amount of users complaining that they have had there accounts wiped out, with no money remaining.

The two companies involved – Apple and Paypal have both failed to comment but experts reckon the victims had most likely fallen for an e-mail scam, rather than being targeted via a flaw in iTunes or Apple servers.

Apple did however say that they had recently implemented new security measures, presumably to counteract these hacks. Paypal and Apple would not discuss the scale of the problem or how many people or accounts had been targeted.

Our top tip – don’t use iTunes.

A hardware hacking group have claimed they are about to release the first “product” that will allow gamers to play homemade and illegal games on the PlayStation 3. Having been on the market for over 3 years, the PS3 has not yet been hacked leaving it as the only console that hasn’t been hacked so far.

The group known as PSJailbreak say they will release a USB dongle that contains certain software allowing games to be saved to the hard drive of the PS3 by any given user. The dongle has been tested and will be sold from around 2 weeks time. Sony haven’t commented on the release of the software.

Microsoft’s web browser Internet Explorer is now 15 years old. The infamous problems with IE6 and security issues that it had have been improved since the launch of Mozilla’s open source rival Firefox in 2004. The 20% share of the market that Firefox holds is still nothing compared to 60% of Internet Explorer, but many people have started looking to Firefox and Chrome as alternatives to the problematic and less than adequate Explorer. It is true that versions 7 and 8 have been improved in the last few years but webmasters and web developers will be eager to try out the upcoming Internet Explorer 9 which launches this year. Keep your browser-eyes peeled.

Over 200 UK users of the online social media platform Facebook have reported suspicious behaviour in the last month. The launch of a panic button over the last few months has changed the way users can report abuse and it seems that it is taking effect now.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop), the companies that created the application say the figures represent a seven fold increase in reports. Facebook have apparently welcomed these figures but stated that there was not one answer to net safety. This seems a strange way to look at it, but hopefully the reports are being dealt with properly from now on.

The Apple executive who oversaw development of the troubled iPhone 4 is leaving the company.

Mark Papermaster was the head of Apple’s iPhone and iPod hardware engineering department since 2009 when he joined the company from IBM. Apple would not comment on the reasons for his departure or whether he resigned or was fired but it is believed it is linked to the faulty antenna on the phone.

Soon after the iPhone 4 was released many people began reporting that it dropped calls. It emerged that signal strength faded when the phone was held in a particular way. The problem was traced to the iPhone’s use of its metal casing to house its antennas.

So with Papermaster now gone, will the problem with the phone just blow away?

Microsoft successfully applied to take action to remove a botnet from the internet. For the uninitiated, botnets are collections of computers which have been compromised by malicious software and can be controlled by a single user to act in concert. Cyber-criminals can use a botnet for a number of nefarious purposes such as sending spam emails and denial of service attacks where all the machines in a botnet send requests to a single web server at such a rate that it cannot cope, making the web site unavailable to legitimate visitors. Criminals can make money by renting out the botnet to carry out attacks or send spam  email.

The botnet in question is known as Waledac and is responsible for sending spam emails. It can send a huge amount of spam; between 3-12 Dec. the botnet sent more than 650 milion spam emails to Hotmail accounts.

The botnet was taken down by shutting down the domains that were used to control the botnet. This had to be done behind closed door to prevent the operation from moving to other domains. However, the shutdown is likely to be temporary however as there may be other domains which can be used to control the botnet. To ensure your computer is free of malicious software, it should be updated with the latest security patches. (Even if your windows update icon keeps bothering you every five minutes to restart your computer, despite telling it to postpone shutdown for four hours. Jesus, Microsoft!  If you can’t even get this right. It is no wonder that people are switching automatic updates off.)

Some websites are of such historic importance that they are in danger of being lost forever  if the site is suddenly shut down. This is the opinion of the British Library and is asking the government to offer support for the archiving of  these sites by granting an automatic right to archive. Currently, before archiving can take place the British Library must ask the owner’s permission. In the future, such archives could  prove to be important for historians.

Legislation exists for print media in the form of the Legal Deposit Libraries Act. This legislation allows for every UK print publication to be automatically deposited in the British Library. In 2003 this was extended to cover material that is published online. However, the act is unclear as to what had to be done before online material is archived.
