How Apple has not listened to it's past. And will...
It seems like Apple has forever been a household name nowadays. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, it cleans the floor in the MP3 arena, and Apple Inc. has made it’s place in history with the elegance of it’s iPods and iPhones respectively. However it has not been plain sailing for this company, and I believe Apple Inc. could indeed be making the same mistakes of it’s past.

David Cameron sat down at his desk in Number 10 just over a month ago and could probably struggle to grasp how he had managed to become Prime Minister just as the country was going to have to face some of the worst cuts it has ever known.
The £6billion announced cuts by George (Gideon) Osbourne recently was a teaspoon in an ocean of what has to be done. Less than a teaspoon. The National Debt...

ConDemed to Drink Margaret Thatcher's Wheatgrass
Let’s start off on a fair footing. I voted for neither of the parties that are likely to form the next government. Yet, I really could not be more pleased with the result. David Cameron is going to be the next Prime Minister, but of a government overrun by hippy-liberals and semi-left-wing nutjobs. This is not the result that David Cameron wanted, make no mistake, the man has spent the past...

Fakejacker
Now, I may be wrong in assuming that everyone else also believed that the ‘Fonejacker’ calls were to real people. Everyone did right? I still would, if I had not just watched the latest spin-off of this series ‘Facejacker’. I would say I’ve got too old, but this really is insulting to my intelligence. You know when you’re watching Borat and you just think that...

the first line of this article is glorious.
Proud to Serve.
In three weeks or so, the election to determine who exactly will run this country for the next five years is to be decided. By us. Yes, the empowering feeling of receiving a poll card is not to be sniffed at. And yes, I can only vote for the Liberal Democrats or the Conservatives, neither of whom I particularly agree with, but even so, I can in a very small way affect history.

Persuasion - Erste Teil
I have been reading (ergo; listening to) a book entitled: ‘Yes! 50 Secrets from the Science of Persuasion’. Now this sounds like a self-help book of some lame ‘The Works’ shop sort. However, it is quite the opposite and discusses at great detail, almost tedium, the extent to which humans are and can be persuaded. It pushes the point that persuasion in itself is not...

In their (seemingly) annual January event, Steve Jobs announced the newest toy to come from California. The iPad; a tablet device with either WiFi + 3G or WiFi alone on it’s various models in the range, one has to ask whether it’s actually any use to anyone. Now let’s not get me wrong, I am a PC, but if I had the money for an iPhone, or wasn’t now tied down to an 18 month...
