If this isn't something you're interested in then feel free to go back to the Daily Fail links, but I thought I'd let you all know that Sitepoint are giving away a free eBook, chosen by the World Cup results - but only until Monday evening.
They created a league table of books tied to teams, and offered increasing discounts on the books/teams that made it through. The winner is free until Monday night.
It's some book about JQuery, so if you couldn't give a stuff about that, what the hell - it's free
It's also "Free as in give me an email address for the download link." Still, it's not exactly hard to get a Y! or Hotmail account you can forget about after reading one email.
FWIW, JQuery has many flaws, and its creator and controller is more likely to reject criticism of it as a personal insult than acknowledge it as a valid contribution to improving the library. Nonetheless, no end of people are using it now, so if web development is what you do or is on your horizon, a free book (even though it has a pathetic title apparently designed to appeal to teenagers) can't be that bad.
For more information on the deep and far-reaching flaws in JQuery, you can either do a search of the Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.javascript, or get me started on it after a couple of pints
