First Apple Store in Dublin, Ireland!

We heard rumors about Apple planning to open an Apple Store in Ireland for almost a year now. We heard about possible locations - Grafton Street, Henry Street.

Looks like Apple considered those as too expensive, as I spotted new, quite large, not yet opened shop just off the Usher's Island. Large, taking up two buildings store, with large glass displays has two large Apple logos outside, and through the blinds you can just about to see insides. It appears that shelves are still empty.

Interesting however, it still lacks it's mistery we know from US - there's no large curtain covering the store, waiting for a grand opening...

When will we see the store open? Time will tell...

OpenDNS is blocking gay pride site

I was very dissapointed discovering today, that OpenDNS, which I am using for my corporate internet DNS, along with it's simple content filtering feature, is categorizing Dublin's Pride Parade website (http://www.dublinpride.org/) as "Sexuality"... in the meantime however Sexuality cathegory is being defined by OpenDNS as:

"Sites that provide information, images or implications of bondage, sadism, masochism, fetish, beating, body piercing or self-mutilation."

Interesting definition, having in mind one of the patrons of parade is Dublin City Council...
