Jul 25, 2008 14:46 - 0 Comments
A report from Intel today (via the BBC) predicts that mobile web is in for a bright future with 1.2 billion connected devices by 2012. This prediction was made at an event to highlight a range of Intel chips for web-enabled mobile devices. Gadi SInger, head of Intel’s mobility group, made an interesting point that [...]
Giving something back
Jul 25, 2008 10:51 - 0 Comments
There’s an interesting post over at Web Worker Daily that asks the question “How do you give something back to those providing information on the web?” It’s a good question.

Project management – a beautiful thing!

I was sent this today and thought that it deserved a wider audience as it is all so true… It takes one woman nine months to have a baby. It cannot be done in one month by impregnating nine women. Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn’t have to do it. You can con [...]
Windows Virtualisation with Sun VirtualBox
Jul 4, 2008 11:56 - 0 Comments
Virtualisation has become all the rage recently. Running multiple instances of a system on a single piece of hardware is a very compelling proposition as everyone try’s to get more out of their investments.

The above screenshot is from Firefox 3 and is displayed when you go to the about:config configuration page. I like to see a bit of humour in development. This one has different messages too so you can enjoy time and time again and never get tired!
Xobni (L) LinkedIn
Jun 26, 2008 17:42 - 0 Comments
There has been a new update to the Outlook companion Xobni that adds information from LinkedIn. It can now import pictures from the business networking site and also provides (brief) details on the selected individual, typically their title and company. This clearly only works where the email address that they have corresponded with you matches [...]
McGuider Update

Since my original post on the McGuider sat nav software for mobile devices I have had more of a chance to put it through its paces and I have to say that the results have been extremely disappointing. I have now used it for about four routes that I do often and in half of [...]

There’s a couple of these surveys kicking around at the moment (here and here) to find out what are the first ten applications that you install on your mobile. Ever one to jump on the bandwagon here I present my top 10 for Nokia S60 3rd Edition: emoze – Free push email Handy Calendar – [...]
