Hashbang and the One Page Website

Dimitri Rebecci — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:45:18 +0000

The American blog network Gawker Media (Gizmodo, Kotaku, Lifehacker…) launched a bold re-design of its websites last week. Gone is the fairly standard news/blog style website and in its place a single page website that loads articles without requiring the web browser to completely re-load a new page: us.gawker.com. The redesign has not rolled out to [...]

Watch out IT World!

John Allen — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:24:34 +0000

With India and China now working in league, where will the European IT world be in 5yrs from now, or even you? Putting their previous problems behind them, India are investing heavily in Chinese IT companies, and China themselves are building deep-water ports around India (to facilitate bulk shipping vessels), and also Power Plants there. I [...]

Donating your unwanted IT for reuse in Africa

Alexia — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 12:25:34 +0000

While we are all used to working with cutting edge (or close to cutting edge!) IT, this is less often the case in developing economies. However, the team at Computer Aid are working to change this and we recently launched our first solar powered Internet cafe in Kenya with our partners Computers For Schools Kenya [...]

Now Christmas has passed….

John Allen — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 21:20:04 +0000

No doubt many of you have had a stocking or pillowcase full of bright and shiny new IT goods, maybe a new PC, a new Laptop or even a new phone. So you will have to think about what to do with the old item that Santa has so kindly replaced for you. Yep, you could bang it [...]

Where is that next great leap in IT technology?

John Allen — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 09:34:12 +0000

I have seen with great interest the latest development in the Xbox, the Xbox 360’s Kinect motion controller.. WOW! If I had that (and the Xbox 360 to go with it) I wouldn’t lose another 52” Flat Screen TV to a wayward Wii controller and Wii Golf! So how come we haven’t got something like this, a [...]

Lack of loyalty among IT Pros

Sarah Jones — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:53:29 +0000

According to our latest survey nearly two thirds (59 percent) of IT pros are not loyal to their work. And when asked, more than half (52 percent) said they didn’t believe that IT workers tended to be loyal in their employment. In fact, 80 per cent indicated that they will be looking for a new [...]

It’s hard to be a “Left Wing, Militant Activist” when you come form Bournemouth!

John Allen — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 12:20:44 +0000

As I race into my 50th year on this world, I remember with a certain disappointed feeling back to all those I used to look up to. Those that stood up to the establishment and made a stand for free speech and reform in society. Unfortunately, the disappointment stems from seeing these guys selling out and [...]

The cost of going to Uni and working in IT.

John Allen — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 11:52:21 +0000

Most already know that I feel most Uni IT courses are sadly out of date and out of tune with the real world of IT. As some have already said an IT degree in Twitter or Tweet-ing isn’t any good if we are going to be back on the top as world leaders in the [...]

Tweet, Twitter and Blogs.. And a four letter word!

John Allen — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 09:21:14 +0000

Being aboard for so long, you yearn for something British. Sorry HBO is American, the BBC World Service seems to be stuck in the 1970s? Forget having a Sunday roast, and so even something as simple as ordering a burger in McDonald’s or three pieces of Chicken in KFC becomes a nightmare when, you are asked [...]
