3 mobile's Customer Care sucks
I’ve had an ongoing problem with my 3 mobile service for the last four months. I’ve spent hours on hold and spoken to at least 9 people about it; all of them assured me it would be addressed within 24 hours and I would receive email confirmation.

Notes from Apple's WWDC keynote
The WWDC 2009 keynote address opens with video of the PC Guy welcoming the WWDC audience. “I want to be the first to wish you all a week with some innovation. But not too much. Please.” Cut. “Maybe you could float a few ideas my way?”

There’s a “revolution” happening in newspaperland. Yesterday’s Sunday Telegraph (as well as other Sunday metros around the country) were promoting “the latest innovation in print media since coloured ink”: Papermotion.
“Readers,” the breathless page 2 story explained, “get the chance to enter an interactive digital world that will bring newspapers to life like never before.”
