Terence Eden has a Blog
From the monthly archives: July 2010
So, the Kindle finally launches in the UK. This blog has become something of a Mecca for users of the Elonex 511EB. The comments on my reviews run in to the hundreds, I get thousands of page views a month on them, I regularly answer private emails about the device.
So, why [...]
Those delightful coves at Jabra and Wildfire PR have kindly sent me a Jabra Clipper review unit. Could this be the BlueTooth headset to replace my beloved Jabra BT3030 which had an unfortunate encounter with a washing machine last week?
How does it stack up against my wishlist?
In which the BPI threaten to sue me.
Last night I was fortunate enough to find myself addressing the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Digital Economy Act. Eric Joyce MP managed to bring together a diverse group of people from all sides of the debate for a (mostly) civil discussion on the Act, its [...]
This blog is proud to be XHTML 1.0 Strict Compliant. Just like it is polite to use correct spelling and grammar for human readers, I believe that correct markup is “polite” for rendering engines.
I’ve recently started using DynamicWP‘s Simple White Theme. The theme is excellent, but generated around 60 validation errors. [...]
I’ve just come back from a chat with Paul Foster of Microsoft. We were discussing Windows Phone 7 – its promises and its problems.
I remain convinced that Windows Phone 7 (WP7) will be a hit. There are so many delightful touches in the operating system that I won’t be surprised if it [...]
Sauntering down Oxford Street, Mauricio Reyes spotted Nokia’s secret Android plans.
Is this just a hapless Photoshop mistake – or a sign of things to come?!?!?!?!
It turns out that my washing machine is incompatible with my BlueTooth headset. What was once my favourite little gizmo – resplendent with blinking lights – is now little more than scrap metal. Arse.
The Jabra BT3030 was, without a doubt, the best BlueTooth headset I ever had. There were regular firmware updates [...]
For those who don’t follow the hive-mind on Twitter, there has been a run in with Scientology trying to stifle free speech.
Or, as I think, not.
Here are the brief facts of the case.
A local councillor (John Dixon) has a Twitter account “CllrJohnDixon” Last year, he tweeted: “I didn’t know the Scientologists [...]
I attended the Mobile Monday meeting “200,000 Apps – Where’s Mine” last night.
One thing that became clear is that apps don’t do a very good job of promoting themselves. One crippling problems with most app stores is that there’s no (easy) way to share an app with a friend.
Here’s some [...]
I’m not the biggest fan of Microsoft. Both my original Xboxes now run Linux, I’ve converted my laptop and computers to Ubuntu, and I generally laugh in the face of Microsoft’s increasingly desperate attempts to stay relevant.
So it was with great mirth that I went along to a BizSpark event a few weeks ago. [...]
USSD – it’s a funny acronym. Unstructured Supplementary Service Data. You type a code into your phone’s dialler. – the phone queries the network and displays some information for you.
There are five types of USSD Command
Activate – turn on the functionality: *USSD#
Deactivate – turn off the functionality: #USSD#
