Don’t Panic!

With hindsight I’m surprised its taken this long for someone to do this to an ebook reader.

Kindle gets laser-etched.

Samsung SSD RAID Array Awesomeness

A lovely piece of Samsung marketing here, they asked a group to pair up 24 SSDs in a 6TB RAID Array to test out performance.

They weren’t disappointed.

Watch in awe and envy!

I know I did…

TiVo Interview

Matt Haughey of PVR Blog got to interview Margret Schmidt of TiVo.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

More interesting and relevant to my current campaign to bring TiVo back to the UK is this interview from a few years ago in which Matt got to ask her about the user interface of TiVo, the remotes and the unique audio bloops and bleep noises that TiVo makes.

BBC Radio 1 to drop Moyles?

I really do wonder if the BBC make all their important policy decisions by throwing a dice. The latest piece of genius is whether to drop Chris Moyles from the Breakfast Show on Radio 1.

Radio 1 is worried that they are going to lose young listeners because Moyles is 35. What a bunch of idiots. I hope these are just the witterings of one brainless researcher at the station.

I totally agree that young talent needs promoting and developing, but Radio 1 has wide appeal and a wide audience. Radio 1 has always struck a very fine balance between youth and experience.

Moyles is at the top of his game, he is where he needs to be. Maybe when he hits 40 it’ll be time for him to move on, but not yet.

And mark my words Radio 1, when Moyles does leave, he’ll take his audience with him.
