Please note, this article is more me having a go at LG than anything useful. Right, now you have been warned (see above) if you choose to carry on reading, don’t complain when you discover that there is nothing much of interest here, other than me giving LG a publicity bashing.  Any publicity is good publicity, right?...
I’ve mentioned before that I am very happy with my current webhosts, they are fantastic, but I still like to look around to see what else is out there.  I’ve been looking to see if cloud hosting is better for what I need, or whether a dedicated or virtual server (VPS) would suit my needs better, and I’ll...
Nick Stone is desperate for American Citizenship, and the US version of the Yes Man just happens to be the father of his girlfriend, Carrie.  He’s offered citizenship in return for taking part in an undercover operation in Algeria.  Simply kill an Albanian citizen, who isn’t a good person at all, remove his...
The first book in the widely known Harry Potter series, which also spawned a bunch of films based on the books.  I’ve read them all before – all 7 of them on my last 2 week vacation – having seen all the files and wanting to read the books.  I decided I was going to read them again as I want to go through...
…especially for small businesses I read an article in Inc. magazine which showed that business blogging is on the decline, and it was brought back to the front of my mind when I looked at the analytics for my website.  Sure, I don’t get a lot of visitors, but I’ve been somewhat lax lately at adding posts...
The colour of magic is the first of the Discworld series and introduces us to some of the main characters throughout the series, Rincewind and Death.  This novel is a break from my usual action/adventure books that I like to read, but after having heard so much about the series, I thought it would be crazy not to have...

For those who read my post on Apple riding high against slow moving Android, you might be thinking that the next logical step for me would be to replace the LG Optimus 2x I currently have with either the iPhone 4S, or wait until the iPhone 5 is out an get  new phone then.  You would, however, be wrong.  It’s true...
Apple have announced their second quarter financial results and shown a massive 94% profit increase, year-on-year.  Whichever way you look at it, that’s impressive.  Revenues of $34.2 billion and a net profit margin of $11.6 billion are impressive numbers for any business.  Most would be happy with revenues of...
Okay, so I am a little late to this party, with the Windows 8 community preview having been around for a while now, but as a techie I think I should at least have a go and see what it is like.  After all I do like games and might need to install Windows again at some point. As a Linux user (currently running Ubuntu 12.04...
