Google lays down the law to BMW Germany

Whatto Chaps! Let’s Ski, Ski, Ski In Tignes!

For those big and small, young and old, there is nothing more exciting than a lads ski holiday. A week away from work and time to relax (which in this case means ski, eat and booze. Lots). This time it was a late deal booked through internet ski giant Iglu Ski. Although unimpressed with the […]

But if ever a story has an ironic twist, non could better the recent tale from Santiago, Chile. A newly opened restaurant […]

The all new WiFi Lamppost…

It has to be a flop. Moving internet users away from the comfort and warmth of a WiFi coffee shop? And getting them to stand next to a lamp post?? What am I blathering on about? Well a company based in Scotland have designed ‘smart lampposts‘ that could provide internet access. Apparently the idea will […]

TV as thin as Paper? Don’t Talk Rubbish…

With soooooo many innovations being produced in the technology world, its difficult sometimes to imagine how we can go one better. But never underestimate to power of the human brain.
