twit 2 who? Stephen Fry of course (Thursday, 05/02/2009)
I was pondering the content of this article a few weeks ago, trying to get to grips with what it might mean to be a society of fully mobile individuals, always-on, always-connected.

Anti-depressants 'of little use' - really? (Tuesday, 26/02/2008)
'New generation anti-depressants have little clinical benefit for most patients, research suggests.' I am angered by the news story today that "Anti-depressants don't work", or are "no better than placebo". This is typical journalistic hype, and I am saddened that even the BBC now stoops to such tactics. full story...

How long will Apple stay sweet before it goes rotten? (Friday, 12/10/2007)
What's next for Apple? There's a lot of blog/talk about the IPOD touch and the iPhone at the moment, and how a dedicated community of 'engineers' are hacking them to run third party applications, and - get this - be able to create calendar appointments.
