Twitter is one of the webs success stories; only six years old with millions of active users. Like any business it needs to start generating income and has introduced some very draconian regulations recently.
It’s been a while now, nearly five years in fact!
I’ve always been known for my spontaneity and mobiles phones were no exception. I could never keep one for more than about six months before I wanted the next ‘thing’. The industry was moving so quickly and it excited me.
There are probably tens of thousands of articles dedicated to the pros and cons of Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android mobile operating system. Everyone has an opinion, usually quite a strong one.
What I did however find interesting was a comment which I believe reinforces my own thoughts on the simplicity of the Apple devices.
I think we all know the much over hyped Facebook floating a few months ago is a flop. Shares peaked at $38 on the day but now hover at almost half that value.
Spare a thought for the guys from Instagram, who have seen the value of the buy-out by Facebook slump too.
In a surprise move Ofcom (the UK regulators for the communication industry) has approved the use of 4G data within the current mobile spectrum licensed to Everything Everywhere, a joint venture between T-Mobile and Orange in the UK.
Microsoft are gearing up for the official launch of Windows 8 on 26 October 2012 and the final version has already been shipped to hardware manufactures. However in a surprise last-minute u-turn Microsoft look set to change the name of ‘Metro’.
After what seems like years of promising, the UK mobile network O2 has finally launched a Pocket WiFi hotspot device utilising its mobile data network.
The pocket-size Wifi device is more commonly known as a ‘MiFi’. It simply acts as a wireless router allowing any WiFi device to connect to it. The MiFi then makes a data connection out onto the internet using the O2 mobile data network. Up to 5 WiFi devices can be connected to the MiFi at any one time.
