Mercury Retrograde, as you know, is synonymous with technological issues, delays, problems and other troubles. Here's a few major boo-boos this week:
PlayStation 3 Release date moved to November after "technical hitches"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4807858.stm. The comapny shares have dropped by 5% because of this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4810116.stm).
Computer viruses set to leap to barcodes?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4810576.stm (Of course, I eye this story with dubious eyes as they try and promote the use of the "chip" in the years ahead as a tool of tracking, and control).
Mercury rules the Post Office, mail and message delivery. It was no surprise to come acoss these latest newsbytes:
A postman from Derbyshire, UK has been sacked after almost 5,000 items of mail were found at his home. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/derbyshire/4808072.stm
Royal Mail staff have refused to deliver to Victoria Close in Barnet, north London, since a colleague needed eight stitches for a bite on his leg.

Email 'tax' criticised (more ridiculous control - but Mercury retrograde continues to unearth stupidity) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4778136.stm
6-hour postal 'walkout' in UK

Mercury is Travel, Transportation, and we hear news of:
US space agency (Nasa) postponing its next space shuttle mission until July at the earliest because of a faulty fuel tank sensor.

But Retrograde Mercury can actually aid things that have been on hold for some time. We get to RE-introduce things related to Mercury at the RE-trograde period too. Don't forget there's always a positive manifestation for these planetary powers:
A £27m traffic scheme in the UK that has been delayed for several years is back on track.
