Seriously, this is what Microsoft have resorted to. We all know that Google aren’t the most approachable company and yes, they do throw their weight around, but is this the best way to get people onto Bing Bong? I think Microsoft are hoping people will ignore the fact that they’re using Google results in Bing.. Link – scroogled.com Read more →

I read this yesterday and, honestly, I thought I’d stepped into the Twilight Zone. Here’s the facts as I understand them. He lives in Belize and the police are trying to find him after his neighbour (with whom Mr Mcafee has a long standing argument) was murdered. Now, as if that level of suspicison wasn’t bad enough, he’s now on… Read more →

Windows 8, in certain circumstances, works pretty well. For those buying a touch-screen laptop or tablet I can understand how people just want to press an icon and access those regularly-used apps, For the rest of us “power users” it can be a little annoying. So, I’ve come up with a solution. Windows 8 should now be branded as “Windows… Read more →

Gas price rigging, electricity price rigging, fuel getting more and more expensive, corupt politicians claiming for everything and anything, taxes being paid by workers but not by big companies like Starbucks, Amazon or others. Dangerous terrorists and bomb plotters costing the tax-payer millions, living here in the UK. Bosses at the BBC getting paid half-a-million quid for two months work.… Read more →

In my hands this thing would probably belch and whine like some drunken robot, but this guys makes it do some rather amazing things. It’s called MiniNova, and apparentlly has nothing to do with torrents at all.. Here’s another one.. it’s amazing how quickly you can knock up a dance tune with one of these things… Read more →

Seriously. Just because Helen Flanagan (that blonde one from Coronation Street) is bouncing around you honestly think I’m going to watch this? (Series link) Read more →

I’ve always hated the Daily Mail. When I used to read it I found that, after putting it down, I was generally angry at the Government and society as a whole. It just seemed wrong, and I started thinking, “Is the UK really this bad? Are the people living here really that evil and wrong?” Turns out that it’s not… Read more →

We’re all law abiding people. I’m sure none of us have ever driven above 70mph and we’ve never heard of torrents. However, in the real world I’m sure we’ve all watched a copied movie or downloaded a slightly MP3. The lines are blurred a little now too. Go onto YouTube and you can instantly listen to any track in the… Read more →

Over on Coolsmartphone I’m always filming hands-on videos of phones… usually in the car. Her’s a retro toy hands-on video that goes a bit wrong… :) Read more →

I love the drums on this – almost like something you’d hear in a dance tune. Some parts of it, especially the guitar section, sound like they’re part of a Nirvana track… Or maybe it’s just me.. you decide.. :) Read more →

I’m watching this again (against my will, honest). This week it’s the young teenage kids. I’ve noticed a few phrases and sayings that these American kids say..a….LOT… 1 – “At this point” 2 – “Soooo….” 3 – “Like, y’know…..” 4 – “Like, totally…” 5 – “Like…..” 6 – “Right now…” (Pretty much like #1) Oh .. and there’s a girl… Read more →
