Who knows who is to blame?

A detailed analysis (by someone who has been close to similar projects) of what might have happened in the HMRC security lapse.

Kindle

How did I miss Kindle, Amazon’s new eBook reader – that’s a substantial line extension. Shame it isn’t in the UK yet. As one of the commentators said: does Apple have an instant competitor with the iPhone+iTunes Store?

Crazy law

A fun list of bizarre legal cases. I loved number 4: stealing a railway station.

What were they thinking

What thought process led to “let’s break your leg for £100k insurance”, both parties agreed and they filmed it taking place. Ouch.

TryPhone

Great idea: virtual phones to see if you want to buy one. I decided against the Nokia N95 by flicking through a few menus at a friend’s house on the weekend. This should speed up some more negative decisions.

Flightstats and online travel planners

Flightstats looks useful – tracks flight information wherever you are. They have a mobile version that does the business.Looks like there is a mobile train timetable still as well as a WAP version of TfL.
