Theft Proof Wallet

No-one can make a 100% theft proof wallet, but it doesn’t stop companies trying. Q might have come the closest. The clever chaps at Dunhill and TungstenW have created the closest thing to a theft proof wallet. They call it a biometric wallet. iWallet The wallet is opened using personal fingerprint scanner encryption, so even […]

Facebook File Sharing Service Coming Soon?

Sometimes email inboxes are simply not big enough to cope with the big attachments I send. This makes file sharing problematic. Occasionally I use the my company’s extranet, but that often gets complicated with usernames and passwords. So more often than not, I’ll use Drop.io. It’s a neat cloud file hosting sharing service that lets […]

Blog Redecoration

I feel I’ve neglected the Jamjar blog for some time. In fact my last post was on 23rd December, 2009. For someone who works in Digital Marketing, and closely with other bloggers, I actually feel quite bad about it. I have been incredibly busy though. I’d liken the neglect to a builder who looks after […]

Lost Season 6 Posters

Since the end of Lost Season 5 there has been a lot of debate on forums and blogs about how Lost will end. There’s no doubt in my mind that Lost is one of the best written shows on TV – what other series can you think of which leaves so many questions to be […]

I don’t read many books. In fact the only time I get chance to read a book or two is when I go on a beach holiday. I was in Cyprus last week getting some early autumn sun and read a superb book called Friends Like These by Danny Wallace. Friends Like These by Danny […]

High oil prices twist the knife into the airlines

With oil prices lingering between the $100 and $130 a barrel mark, airlines around the world are on red alert as fuel costs soar. On Monday Ryanair announced it’s profits has plunged by 85% and blamed the high oil price for doubling its fuel expenses. Last week easyJet admitted that fare increases were inevitable in […]

Lost Time Loop Theory

A while ago I wrote a blog post about watching LOST. Now Lost has just finished it’s fourth series, and I can’t wait for the fifth. Lost is one of those TV programmes where people either love it or hate it. For the latter, they usually get bored and confused by the third episode and […]
