Yippee! The Fall are going on tour. OK, in March mostly, but that doesn’t work.
After a quiet year (the first with no new material released since 1977) they’re making up for it. A new album in February, a supporting tour and in June, MES’ autobiography is released.

I’m surprised at how little attention has been paid to Opera Mini. I think it’s about the most innovative product of last year, a radical way of browsing on a phone.
Because as well as having a great browser, Opera Mini has another trick up its sleeve called a transcoder server.
What happens is that when […]
I’ve been having a look at the presentation about the Apple iPhone. I can’t get to see Steve Jobs’ keynote because of the traffic levels.
It’s brilliantly designed, and will sell out very fast in the USA.
However, there’s quite a lot of talk about it blowing other smartphones out of the water. Which ignores the fact […]
I’m not a user of Blogger, but I came across this and thought it might be useful to any readers who are.
