If you were to ask someone what their idea of a relaxing weekend is, I’m guessing you’d probably get a fairly wide variety of responses. For some, a relaxing time is had simply by not being at work. For others perhaps it’s time spent in the company of family and friends. This may or may …

Cool technology for 2012
After what I feel was a lackluster 2011, characterised more by lawsuits (Apple/Google/Samsung), poor performance (RIM), security breaches (Sony) and disastrous product releases (HP/Nokia) I’m hoping 2012 will be turn out to be a lot better for technology than last year. So far the signs are promising with some cool new gadgets and gizmo’s being …

My top 10 Apps for mobile devices
So, anyone get a shiny new smartphone or tablet over the Christmas break ? A couple of friends of mine did, and one of the first things they asked was what apps I thought they should install on them. Given that between Apple and Android alone there are over 800,000 apps available on their stores, …

All I want for Christmas……
This will probably be the last post of 2011 as I’m taking a few weeks off, so I figured I’d post a short “wish list” covering what I’d like to see from a technology point of view in 2012. 1) RIM to survive. It would be a an understatement to say that 2011 …

4G, and a rant about marketing
I know there are some people who read this blog who are in marketing, so I’d like to apologise at the outset if I offend either you or your industry with this post. That said, there’s something that’s been bugging me for a while about the marketing of “4G” mobile phones, and the companies who …

A little bit about hacking
I figured I’d talk a little about the darker side of the internet today, the subject of hacking. What’s prompted this was something that happened on both Tuesday and Wednesday this week, when the blog was the target of two separate attempts to try to breach the site security.

How to create a secure password
I think it’s fairly safe to say that for most people geek humour is probably not the first thing that springs to mind when faced with the task of creating a secure password.

Anyone who’s been following the news recently can’t help to have noticed the number of articles and comments posted online about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) that has been under discussion by US Congress.
