Cup Of Coffee

So.. YouTube have got rid of all the copyrighted material now have they? Well no, they haven’t. In fact, although each video is limited to 10 minutes in length, you can still watch entire movies on YouTube courtesy of multiple-uploads and link pages like this telling you where each video is. There’s other culprits too, [...]

I’ve just been reading this msmobiles story about an “exclusive first test” of the Lobster 700TV in “Total Mobile” magazine. Is it? Strange, we’ve already reviewed it here. Links – msmobiles.com – Lobster 700TV Review

The internet is a weird and wonderful place. Many websites have embraced the new “Web 2.0″ thing and made a fortune from it. YouTube.com and MySpace.com are just two. The latter I don’t really visit much as it gives people far too much control over webpage design and the resulting “personal page” is a hideous [...]

Driving into work this morning up the madness that is the M6 I was witness to a rather irate person in a Citroen Picasso. The M6 was busy. It’s always busy. In fact, last week I was late home from work (we’re talking 11.30pm) and yet somehow I still managed to get stuck on the [...]

My mate sent this to me on email. It comes from the Manchester Evening News. There’s a massive debate raging about new rising bollards right now as cars get speared by them. They have been installed to try and reduce the street’s high casualty rate. The local council have no plans to change them before [...]

Right, that’s it. I’m on strike I’ve not got a fun-time Friday for you today because I’ve been mega-busy with work and website stuff. It’s been one helluva busy week but hopefully you guys should notice a marked speed improvement here on Coolsmartphone.com. I’ve had to put Fun Time Friday back for a day, so [...]

Blimey, things are getting busy here at CoolSmartPhone. Over the weekend the server was getting really busy. It’s not so much the loading, but more to do with my “screw it, that’ll do for now”-attitude to PHP scripting. Luckily, after a few beers, I had a flash of inspiration and I’ve recoded pretty much all [...]

Hmm.. Stephen Colbert (who I presume is some US TV person) makes a fairly valid point with this video. Surely, if Google have bought YouTube, we’re all owed a cut of the cash ? Think of it this way. If YouTube didn’t have any videos, what would it be? It’d be useless.. 99.99999% of YouTube [...]

A few months back we bought a new flashy Samsung LCD TV. It’s a Samsung LE32R74BDX and has a brilliant picture…well, I lie… it has a brilliant picture now, after almost 3 months of twiddling with it and Googling. The best picture, for those of you who have one, is done in one of two [...]

This was on TV last night so I’ve YouTube’d it. Some nutter, who got pulled over by a policeman on a motorbike, decided that he didn’t want a conversation and instead attacked the officer with a Samurai sword. Attacking police officers is possibly the worst single thing you could do with your day. All available [...]
