18 Nov 2010Do you know who ‘Super Hans’ is? Are you a freewheeling but ultimately talentless creative soul like Jeremy? Or are you a buttoned down repressed office type like Mark? If you aren’t a fan of channel 4’s ‘Peep Show’ then none of that will have made any sense to you at all. But loyal followers [...]

11 Nov 2010The Guardian website has published some very long winded numbers from Gartner, who seem to be the ‘go to’ people if the mobile phone industry needs some numbers crunched. On the whole these stats are usually pretty boring but the third quarter numbers for 2010 have actually pointed out some interesting trends in the smartphone [...]

8 Nov 2010We never watched Pineapple Dance Studios. The antics of a load of wannabe dancing lunatics never really appealed to us. But just because you don’t watch a terrible reality show does not mean you can escape it in this day and age. People either go on about it when you’re at work or you see [...]

4 Nov 2010Accessing Facebook on the move has rapidly become a key feature for many Facebook users. Globally, something like 200 million people access Facebook on their phones. That’s quite a scary number when you think about it. If he were a Bond villain Mark Zuckerberg would have a massive private army to call on, but thankfully [...]

26 Oct 2010We all live in a world that is obsessed with stats. We’ve managed to reduce human beings to series of buying preferences and efficiency targets. Occasionally we hear of some statistics that actually show something useful or express something worthwhile. But they are almost discarded with the same sort of blank annoyance that a cow [...]

25 Oct 2010When Mr Jobs launched his attack on just about everyone in the mobile phone industry that isn’t Apple the other week, no one expected it would end there. We think it would have shown a bit of class to let this geek war die the death that it deserves to, but we guess we underestimated [...]

19 Oct 2010Steve Jobs decided to attend an Apple earnings call on Monday night. Nothing spectacular in that you might think. You could even describe it as boring and not very interesting. But Steve Jobs used the earnings call to dish out abuse like a drunken stand up comedian. Except they weren’t really zingers, it was all [...]

15 Oct 2010We remember playing lots of Championship Manager before our loyalties changed and we switched to Football Manager. In the old Championship Manager you used to be able to give your chosen club loads of money using an editor. In a case of life imitating art Man City were taken over in 2008 by the stupidly [...]
