"Time for women to look past IT's geek image"

On: Videogames Attract More Women Than Boys?

In the NZ Herald Today was an article on a similar (?) topic, claiming the opposite.
Here's a quote

Women in Technology general manager Tania Kearns says the group wants to show computing jobs aren't just for testosterone-fuelled propeller heads.
"It goes back to the schools. Boys cotton on to technology for games so they become very comfortable with it," Kearns says. "Girls don't want to be computer geeks, it doesn't appeal, but guys get hooked on playing games 24 hours a day.

Of course, given the (slashdot) article seems to be comparing apples and oranges (boys with women) perhaps these two don't disagree.

Whatever happened to swatch world time? It could be the solution for world peace!!!

They're backquotes, not apostrophes. Some dialects allow this (or variants) to enable referencing of column names which are reserved words. Though I question the need for them here...
