Yep, essentially lots of 'not quites' with the current system. I want phone-as-easy-as-email. I logon and immediately calls are routed to that device and I can pick up voicemail, make calls and send texts. If I have another phon

Here's a scenario. I need to make a call but my phone is out of charge. "Here use mine." you say as you hand me your handset. I login on your handset, make my call, logout and hand it back to you. The call came from my nu

Surely I'd have more options if I could use any handset? I'm a computer literate guy but I still end up carrying 2 handsets - one work, one personal - most of the time because the handsets aren't truly generic.

Unless the lawyer wanted them to know he was looking. Might make some of the developers nervous.

Yes that is what I meant by 'appears opposed'. However, I wonder if he wrote that because even he realises that he will need to do more than just ask if he really wants to do MI3.

I guess he could propose a game to Disney and see if they bite. From his blog (the title of which includes the phrase "bitter ramblings") Ron appears opposed to working on MI3 unless given full control first. However, I would th

I'm a little older (46) and my first computer was a Vic20. That was followed by a C64 which I owned when the Amiga 500 was released and the difference was staggering. The introduction of the workbench desktop was jaw dropping compare

Interesting article. In an Enterprise setting is it better to think of 'product' as 'capability'?

More interesting than it might first appear. If you try a name like 'Stanley' you can see the devastating effects of the war years. You also see a resurgence in the name 20 years or so later, I'd guess when people want to r

Surely such an argument is true for any network communication. My (admittedly vague) understanding of such monitoring is that it happens at the TCP/IP level. Therefore, should we outlaw all 'insecure' TCP/IP communicat

Not a book but I would recommend watching 'Breaking the code' a BBC play from the mid 90's about Alan Turing starring the ever excellent Derek Jacobi. It can be watched for free on youtube here [ https://www.youtub
