Decisions

Trying to compose an article on the composition of life’s decisions was always going to be difficult to write. Much like my act of turning this blank word document into a preponderance of words, decisions are difficult to make. I find that whenever I consider life to be a blank choice between the white and black my mood drops. This is because life is far more complex than a simple stage process.... 

This will be the next Big Thing

This will be the next Big Thing
Take my word for it, this website will be big. The news of its conception and creation should be covered on TechCrunch, Mashable and possibly even BoingBoing. theListBook will be the internet’s best source of useful lists and let’s face it, everybody likes a good list. In the words of the website’s founder, theListBook is “all about collaborative lists and social networking. Lists on every... 

Politics: Fix the Broken, Break the Fix… give me a break from the fix

For the last few months my mind has been eagerly hammering away trying to work out why people have lost their faith in politics. Could it have been the huge issue of the expenses scandal last year? The Labour Party immigration scandal? Perhaps the recent cash for influence scandal? No. Whilst these issues scratched the surface I believe there is a foundational problem. People just don’t care because... 

Why I Hate Facebook

The longer I stay on Facebook the more annoyed I seem to get at it. It starts from the pathetic adverts which, when read downwards, seem to act as a sort of “life list”. Today Facebook is telling me that I should get a girlfriend, play poker and then pre-order the new AC/DC Iron Man album. I dread to think how many accumulated hours have been wasted by the 350 million users Facebook now has. The... 

Microsoft Kin

Microsoft Kin
After I purchased the iPhone last year I was convinced that no other mobile would ever catch my lustful gaze. I was wrong. The Microsoft Pink Project was first mentioned early last year and at first nobody really knew what it was. The secrecy that has surrounded the Microsoft Pink Project has been immense. Although Microsoft still has 95% of the Operating System market, the company has still not taken... 

The Digital Economy Act is Stupid

It was known as the Digital Economy Bill in the real world, #debill (now known as #deact!) on Twitter but from the 8th April 2010 bill became Act. If there were ever an example of parliament not listening then watching the progress of the Digital Economy Bill pass through the House of Lords, House of Commons, to then be granted Royal Assent has to be the pinnacle. The Bill has received much attention... 

Formspring.me

Formspring.me
What would evil on the internet be best incarnated as? Before you click off this article just know that this is a valid question. Over the last few days I have started using a brand new internet service called Formspring.me. I can only conclude that it is the most evil social media creation I have ever set eyes upon. Just using the service feels somewhat underhand, like I have been caught deep within...
