Apple’s shortly fixing that Photo Stream delete function in iOS 5.1

Pre-MWC drinks with me and the Hotwire PR team this January
I hope you’re having a good relaxing week. The chances are if you’re in the United Kingdom, this is the case.

Is being able to charge your phone at work a human right?
Yesterday I was reading in the Telegraph about the officers and civilian staff at Sussex Police who have recently been instructed not to charge their personal phones (and other related devices) at work.
