During a spot of internet surfing I stumbled upon Bing VS Google, a website which allows direct search result comparisons between both search engines. I use a mixture of both search engines but have Bing set as my default for smartphones, notebooks and my desktop. The ability to directly compare the results of both search engines is made interesting for me due to my move from Google Search. To test... 

It is 1513, Niccolo Machiavelli has just rested his pen on the desk after having completed his work The Prince; a book full of political ideology constructed on scientific and empirical principles. The outcome of Machiavelli’s arrest in 1512 when Medici, a political dynasty, came to power in Florence. The Medici dynasty assisted to elect four Popes, including Pope Gregory XV, of which the phrase...

Our fling with WordPress.com is over. Although their self-hosted service is next to free it doesn’t offer nearly all of the formatting capabilities the geeky side of my soul yearns for. This newly designed site is probably better described as ‘mikewhite.co.uk 2.0’. You will find the Disqus comment system, the return of our beloved tweetmeme buttons and a flashy new featured content section. People... 

Many occasions it has been suggested to me that this blog would be better equipped for growing a certain kind of audience if I were to focus this online publication on one particular subject. It is the easiest way to focus on growing an audience; for me to only write about Public Relations all the time. Instead I am going to hand over the question to you… What do you want to see me write about in... 

“Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.” – Matthew 26:65 Blasphemy. According to Oxford Word Histories the etymology behind ‘blasphemy’ came from the Greek blasphemos to mean ‘evil-speaking’, which came via Old French from ecclesiastical Latin blasphemare. In layman terms... 

From time to time I get the opportunity to introduce my online self to the people of Twitter in the real world. No matter where you are in the country there is almost certainly some sort of incarnation of Tuttle Club – bringing online users together for business deals, local networking and eventful pleasures. As time goes on it has become clear that the validity of social media has become a business... 

I fear to fast forward DVDs due to the lack of time which has descended upon my life. Time is running so quickly. Before I knew it I had started working for Microsoft and as of writing this I have almost spent 6 months working for this gigantic organisation. At the same time Christmas has almost sat its fat arse on my fairly scrooge-like demean and come January my age will +1. Miss @Jeannyfar, you... 

Hello all. I’m fiercely aware that most of what I write about on this blog is concerned with the world of work, hard-nosed technical industry (run by those with soft notebook adaptable hands). In a moment of inspiration my manager in our team meeting last week pouted the wisest of words, ‘Do you live to work? Or do you work to live?’ No doubt we will spend the majority of our lives in some form... 

This time last year I was frantically putting together my CV and dreaming about the various companies I would actually want to work for. I concluded that my ideal situation would be working for Google, Microsoft or IBM – I managed to get an internship at Microsoft. Here are some of my tips to help you find a placement. Network with Friends and Family Start here first. Find out if any of your friends... 

When I heard the news that Amazon’s Black Friday deals were coming to the UK I became very excited. Mostly at the prospect of the 60% reduction off Microsoft’s Xbox console. Despite working for Microsoft this is one discount we can’t get due to the Xbox being largely subsidised by Microsoft before they hit the shelf. Amazon UK announced product reductions on thousands of products and customers...
