Google Reader and RSS, necessity or crutch?

Jamie Ryan — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 21:34:37 +0000

Google announced yesterday they will be shuttering their Reader service and the reaction on Twitter was as if millions of RSS feeds suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. Paraphrasing Ben Kenobi aside this is quite a big deal in geek circles. RSS is, for many people, [...]

Review: HTC One S

James Bricknell — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 17:42:02 +0000

Let me start by saying the One S is not a super, all-singing, all-dancing flagship device. This device is perfect for anyone coming from a feature phone or for someone who wants a good sized device that doesn’t feel like you are holding a clipboard. So if you aren’t blown away by the specs, don’t [...]
