The Google Chrome masterplan: it's not about the browser
Opinion: AOL's great day at the office
"Bebo has some impressive market positions. It is strong in the UK, and is ranked number one in Ireland and New Zealand, and number three in the U.S.
And if that doesn’t sway you into thinking it’s a great move for AOL, what about this: 'users are heavily engaged and view an average of 78 pages per usage day [every 24 hours of use].' Wow."
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
"We simply have to deal with the fact that sites change, features come and features go, instead of defaulting to our first reaction of being overly critical. If the response to the Beeb’s redesign is anything to go by, it’s something we all need to work at."
Why Windows XP is the OS that refuses to die
"A casually dressed man called Luke with spiky hair and rolled up sleeves gave me the idea for this blog. He's one of the many reasons why Windows XP simply won't lay down and die a blue and green death."
The great Glastonbury ticket scramble
"Buying tickets to Europe's most respected music festival has now become so convoluted that you need to be reasonably tech savvy to even think about booking."
Hands on with the BBC iPlayer - on the iPhone!
"So the Beeb is to spend time encoding special 516Kbps streams for the iPhone and iPod touch. And quality is the main reason for that. The flash content isn’t amazing in quality for the PC, but would look pretty decent on the iPhone. However, the new streams look even better."
Apple debuts iPhone 2.0 firmware
"Apple will have a IP connection to your phone which a third party server can then ping and push things like text alerts oover the air – working over both Wi-Fi and mobile networks."
