Hiten Shah’s retweet of this comment from @sbergel really made me think.

Stop everything you’re doing and fly over to this page at Gizmodo. They have a seriously smart video of the (apparently new) Microsoft Courier tablet. They report that it’s a real device and it’s in the ‘late stage’ prototype. If it’s anywhere near accurate — and if it works *like* they show in the video, […]
Have a look at the terse, direct statement issued by SpinVox in reaction to today’s BBC news story. It includes no names. No ‘hello, it’s Daniel/Christian/Somebody here’. No personality whatseover. Perhaps, then, their direct and officious statement underlines the unimaginable panic going on at their Marlow HQ? Whither the friendliness, the approachable hi-ya, the ‘listen, […]
So this is a rather nifty addition, isn’t it? If you’re like to really wind up the people you’re emailing (or, hugely annoy your boss), you can have Google automatically do a lookup on your current IP location and stick that in your footer. It’s only for Gmail at the moment. That’s Gmail on the […]

I’m going to avoid delving into the politics of it, but over the past twelve days there has been a reoccurring story in our headlines; the Israel/Gaza issue. It’s one that has sparked outcry, and one that shouldn’t have happened. However, I was watching the news the other day, I think it was CNN or […]
I’ve been away for a week (because I moved house); and it’s all been a bit hectic! Unfortunately I didn’t have the internet for about two weeks, and thus I’ve been cut out of the online world of MIR. So when I got my connection back some time late last week, I was mildly hoping […]
Now I know I’ve said it a couple of times in the past few months, but I’m looking for a new phone. The reason I haven’t yet bought one isn’t because I can’t be bothered to purchase one, or because I can’t afford one; in fact I’m more than happy to now pay a little […]
Do I resent my mobile? I’ve been told once or twice that I resemble something of an old woman or more precisely an “Old Bagâ€Â. True, I do have my “old person†tendencies; but I do try to remain youthful as much as possible… Seeing as I’m only seventeen. It has however hit me; I’m […]
Wow! Doesn’t time just fly by? I’ve been away for a month – organising myself with school and the various activities I’m involved in, and it feels like forever! Never fear though, because now I’m back. Well, for once a week that is! Now school’s are a hostile environment (well, at least mine is), and […]
Nokia has once again found its way to its wallet for the latest in a recent run of acquisitions: this time, it’s snapped up German social networking firm Plazes. Nokia describes it as “a context-aware social-activity service that people can use to plan, record, and share their social activities: why they are at a given […]
