It's said office workers around the world spent almost 5,000,000 hours playing the game on the Google shaped maze… mostly when they should have been working. This means firms lost hours of potentially productive time...Read Full Story
Never, ever apply for a job at RescueTime. They’re hard taskmasters.
You may have thought that the online version of Pac-Man that appeared on the Google search page on Friday was just a bit of harmless fun.
But not a bit of it, according to Tony Wright, CEO of RescueTime. It was a dreadful distraction that cost the average user a whole 36 seconds – count them and weep – of productive time.

Anyway, after the spectrum, my computer/console history went something along these lines: Atari ST; NES; SNES; PS1; PS2; Gamecube; 360; Wii; PS3. I still have a NES, Gamecube, Wii and obviously my PS3. Do you like to get a bit of retro gaming on ...
