Have you ever had that feeling when there’s suddenly nothing to do online? There you spend your days (and nights) happily surfing along, reading your favourite blogs, obsessively checking Twitter, but then something happens. You’re bored. The internet turns into a vast empty nothingness. You try reading the news, looking at trailers on apple.com, googling for childhood photos of Lady Gaga, but nothing works.

As you may have heard, Dell have launched a new website for women called Della ("ella ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh").
Clearly, Dell's original version of their website is too, well, complicated for women to figure out.
We understand things better when companies relate to us.

Running and gadgets never really seem to get on. Nike+ and the iPod seemed to do quite well, but if you don't like running with a big elastic band Velcroed to your flabby arm, or spending £100+ on trainers to fully appreciate the "Nike+ experience", it's probably not your cup of tea.

I’m back in Old Blighty after a trip to LA-la land, having had a fantastic time sampling in bite size chunks of everything California has to offer, and a few events like Mobile Geeks of LA & Tuttle LA.

I love gadgets. I get so excited by the prospect of a shiny new toy that once I have the idea of whatever it is in my head I can’t get it out. I’ve been this way ever since my eighth birthday when I was convinced that what I really needed at that point in my life was a Franklin Spellmaster – who knows why; I was pretty good at spelling.

It is important to be able to find a balance when at work. I mean, you want to be able to fully concentrate on teenage nostalgia with Spotify AND keep up to date with Twitter without anyone catching you. The pro will have some serious Alt-Tab skill worked out, but others will have gotten themselves into some serious skive catch out pickles.

I'm just wrapping up a graduate class focused on performance and New Media, and one of our last discussions focused on the job market ahead. I repeated my mantra of late that so many of our colleges and universities are still preparing students for the jobs of yesterday. A good portion of our grad students are folks already engaged in teaching, so I was a bit taken back by their reluctance to use a lot of New Media during the class and final comments that they weren't too inclined to stick w...

E-books are not exactly new, but they are still stirring up a storm. With Amazon's Kindle 2 and Sony's latest Reader packing new features, the e-book is becoming more and more popular. Despite this increasing popularity, many authors are still holding out on publishing their books in an e-book format. Do we blame the authors, or do we blame the e-book?
