BBC Interviews Taxi Driver Instead of “Expert”
05.16.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsThere’s an amusing little clip here of a BBC news story. The news team interviewed the wrong “expert” witness about the result of the Apple Vs Apple court case.
They ended up interviewing a taxi driver who had apparently been waiting for a pick up in BBC reception. I just love the first shot of the [...] -

Beware of Men Bearing Mobiles
In a Zimbabwe corruption case, the defendant was recorded soliciting a bribe on a mobile phone.
After making much fuss about finding a place “safe to talk” by going to a shopping mall, the main witness for the prosecution calmly recorded the entire conversation on his Siemens SL45 mobile phone, which comes complete with a handy [...] -

Democratisation of Pop Idol
03.21.06 | Permalink | Comments OffI posted a couple of weeks ago about a mobile version of Pop Idol, that was billed as “The People’s Idol” from Finland.
But now we have a true People’s Idol, as the people have wrested the Idol concept away from the media. In a real demonstration of community power and User Generated Content, I present [...] -

Festive Spirit
Many years ago, when young and handsome (well, young anyway) I remember being pursued around a Christmas office party by an Amazonian female colleague waving a bunch of mistletoe and trying to stick her tongue down my throat. No, honestly.
I was reminded of this when I read about wallpaper mistletoe that you can download to [...] -

Mercedes Advent Calendar
12.09.05 | Permalink | Comments OffI’ve been out and about all day, with no time for blogging. But I did take a snap on my camera phone of this huge Mercedes Advent Kalendar in the showroom of the largest and most prestigious dealership.
Every day, they open a pair of curtains in a new window to reveal a different model - [...] -

Just In Time For Christmas
If you’re still searching for a gift for that special someone in your life, get on the horn to Japan and see if you can secure one of these toilets that plays MP3s. What better way to surf the mobile Internet than in stereo sound? All for an affordable $1500.
Update: If you do take your [...]

One Thing Mobile Search Is Not: Cheating On Your Spouse
11.30.05 | Permalink | Comments OffRussell’s had a lot to say lately about mobile search and its implications and implementations. Mobile information company 4INFO’s got a great post on its blog about how people have been using its services… but it’s not exactly what you think.
Somebody somehow managed to confuse the 4INFO shortcode (44636) with another persons, and sent a [...]

New Wave Conkers
11.28.05 | Permalink | Comments OffBlink have just launched a really great sounding Bluetooth game, based on the traditional English game of Conkers.
If you just went “WTF?”, Conkers has its own entry in Wikipedia, that sound suspiciously like something Douglas Adams made up. But here are the rules of the original game:
1. Take a large, hard conker [Horse Chestnut] and [...] -

A True Party Popper
11.27.05 | Permalink | 7 CommentsSometimes you come across a gadget that you just have to blog about - while acknowledging it’s got nothing to do with mobile whatsoever!
But how cool is this? You attach it to the cork in a bottle of champagne, (or sparkling wine, if you’re a cheapskate) pop the cork and watch it float down with [...]
