CES 2014 brought the Social Media Vending machine right into the think of it. “IF” you could get an internet connection you could theoretically tweet the machine with a special tweet plus a code and it would dispense a t-shirt for you. It worked really well for me but the machine did have a few moment of confusion. Something to …
The news seems to have hooked on that CES 2014 is about wearable tech. Whilst there is a fair amount of wearable tech it is nothing compared to the vast amounts of exhibitors showing off their latest portable sound devices. I gave up counting these exhibitors at 34, all plugging their latest sound boxes. However, 808 Audio were a little bit …
The very first stand I came across this year was LG. This was surprising as last year in the main hall Samsung dominated everything (except Sony’s wrap around screen that was impressive.) LG had a very impressive passive 3D display which was just incredible to watch, unfortunately the images and video don’t translate very well. There was nothing dramatically new …
Today Qualcomm launched the Formula E car in the US. The car has made several appearances but this was its first public demonstration. Formula 1 driver Lucas di Grassi drove the 150mph capable Spark-Renault SRT_01E giving the crowd a rather quick demonstration in the Mandalay Bay parking lot. What a great way to start CES 2014, watching a giant radio …

CES 2014 It’s Confirmed! I have just received my confirmation that I will be part of the official UK Delegation to CES 2014. For the CES 2013 event there just didn’t seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done so for 2014 there is going to have to be a lot more planning. If you don’t …
Today I braced myself to update to the latest version of Ghost v 0.3.1. To my surprise it was actually relatively simple. All it took was a bit of SSH, File transfer and knowing how to start / stop the web services on my new CentOS Box and of course doing the same to Ghost 0.3.1. Straight up I cannot …
I have just finished setting up my first Ghost site and all I can say is, “That’s not what I expected”. Ghost is the new blogging platform that took off like wildfire on KickStarter and after a few short months in in general backer release. (If you backed them you get an early release). And whilst it’s not quite WordPress …
Microsoft are ramping up the cloud services game and are now offering 50GB mailboxes to its Office 365 exchange users. That is not just a few extra Gigs either, its DOUBLE what we previously had. The benefits of the larger mailboxes apply to its Small business and small business premium users, Midsize businesses and everyone on E1, A2, G1 E3, …
I have a copy of “The New Digital Age” by Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen which I would like to pass on. What better way than to give it to one of our readers! So All you need to do is “Like” & “Share” our Facebook page (its quite new). I will pick one random Like and send you the …
