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.

Group GPS-think

I think the idea of GPS units talking to each other to understand traffic conditions is an excellent one. So long as the contributors are anonymised, it can’t but help improve travel conditions.
