The argument over the nano-SIM is a distraction. It’s a sleight of hand designed to catch the industry off guard and fool it into doing something really stupid.
The SIM is designed to do a number of things; encryption, address storage, hold SMS, etc.
Most importantly, it’s designed to be swappable. With GSM, you [...]
I’ve already blogged about the Leveson Inquiry’s disturbing habit of releasing evidence as scanned in PDFs.
I had a suggestion from digital journalist Kevin Anderson
Google Docs has an annoying 2MB limit for uploaded PDFs. However, I’ve taken the first half of Rebekah Brooks’ witness statement and run them through the OCR [...]
I had a chance to play with Senseg‘s feelable technology today – here’s a quick video showing it off.
The guys are (naturally) cagey about their product launch, but here’s what I was able to glean.
It will be multi-touch compatible. The tablet appeared to be Android – that’s just the demo unit [...]
The entire premise of Red Dwarf rests on this one scene:
Lister’s cat is discovered because he takes a photo of the two of them and has it developed in the ship’s photo lab.
In 1988 – when Red Dwarf was first aired – nothing in the world seemed more natural than to get [...]
Did you know that you can to link to a specific Tweet on Twitter? The URL looks like this:
https://twitter.com/#!/edent/status/197967209459499008
Pretty obviously, that’s the user’s name and the ID of their tweet. Simple, right?
Not really, click on that link and you’ll see this:
That’s my name in the URL [...]
For reasons best known to themselves, certain sections of the entertainment industries seem to believe that bolting the stable door shutting down The Pirate Bay will stop all piracy.
It’s as though they think that people won’t be able to use a proxy, circumvent the Cleanfeed block, or simply use a search engine [...]
Last week, I posted this tounge-in-cheek suggestion.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a proper show-down between the two major players? You could really compare which OS was best given the same hardware. Is iOS’s camera software better than Android’s when given the same lens and CCD? Which runs faster when CPU, GPU, and [...]
You cannot fail to have noticed that in most American films and TV shows, all the phone numbers start 555. This is a reserved number in the North American Numbering Plan. It means that it’s a number which will never connect to a real person or service.
So you can avoid the situation where [...]
This was the sign that greeted me as I made my way into The Camden Head for the first Museums Showoff…
Now, I’ve no idea why I was the headliner – but I certainly wasn’t going to complain!
Museums Showoff is a spin-off from the popular Science Showoff. The idea is that [...]
I’ve been listening to the Leveson inquiry. A large part of the exchanges seem to go like this:
Jay: Turning to page 51.
Witness: Which bundle?
Jay: 1606.
Witness: 1660?
Leveson: No, the page after.
Jay: Paragraph 7.
Witness: I don’t have a paragraph 7.
Jay: Ah, I [...]
No, I’m not talking about Masabi’s innovative technology, but of this rather odd bit of advertising found on the back of a train ticket.
There’s no specific call to action – but there’s not much space to play with. Let’s give it a scan…
*sigh* A non-mobile site. With [...]
