Bernie Ecclestone is F1: he made it into something more than motor racing by negotiating the sale of the TV rights for the benefit of all of the teams (and his pocket). For FE to eclipse F1 then something major has to happen with the TV rig

At a recent family wedding the registrar-lady told everyone to put their phones away, to enjoy the ceremony and to live for the moment. I was most pleased with this as I am a firm believer in there being more to life than it being a 's

Somehow I learned of the real Rick Ross through the fake Rick Ross - I actually sought out the 'everyday I am hustlin' track on YouTube and, a few clicks later, there I was reading the legend on Wikipedia etc. Hence, sometimes to

We had this 'Trickle Down Effect' with Maggie Thatcher in the UK - it does not work! Looking for a convenient link, the Wikipedia page is rather nifty. Seems people have fallen for 'Trickle Down Effect' many times, altho

I grew up in Gloucestershire with neighbours that worked for GCHQ and at least three of my school friends went on to work for the doughnut shaped building (which was a collection of huts back then). Over the years we have had our chats and

I think the opposite is true. Girlfriend uses Facebook (I do not). When she says 'got to see this...' I ask if it is on Facebook, and, if so, decline being interrupted to look at whatever it is. As for 'this is really funny!&

That's what I like to hear!!! I decided against some silly case/screen protector and mine is still looking as it did the day I received it. I see the magic slip feature as a bonus - no need to leave it casually lying around if you

It is rare that 'a funny review' makes you buy the product, however I did after reading about 'Chompy', let me quote: Is it possible to become emotionally attached to a kill-crazy cannibalistic worm that looks like a fac

In the journalese about Bezos's latest buy and wondering why, I have yet to see a mention of why Bezos quit managing hedge funds to start up Amazon. He noticed that there was a tax benefit to selling across state lines, i.e. no state s

Tedious. If something is on CNN then it is not likely to be 'investigative', is it? You have to read a CNN 'exclusive' as 'why are they trying to tell us this now?' Also wrong with these type of articles is tha

Television sets and clothing is 'empty gifts of capitalism', not necessarily expensive. Take a look at benefit claimants in the UK - typically they have a bigger TV than you do and clothes with 'better' branding than you

The comparison with an early PC is not imaginative. Think of the original Sinclair ZX81 with 1K of RAM and 8K ROM. Swap out the Z80 for a 6502 to get approximately the same register count. Without a screen to worry about (it took up too muc

This was actually quite shocking. I clearly had not been to a Post Office in years. Needing variety in envelopes, 'Jiffy' bags and stamps I did try and get the stationary from the Post Office. But it cost an absolute fortune. I thought en

This is still 'SEO 1.0' stuff. If you have something to sell, i.e. an e-commerce site, or if you have a recipe, or if you have a large collection of flora and fauna, the quickest win is to use semantic markup - 'SEO 2.0'. Let The Search Eng

Bored during a recent commute home I decided to pay attention to the gadgets people were using. Then, in conversation with my sister it dawned on me: "Apple products are for old people!". My sister agreed, elaborating that "old people just
