So, Facebook has started the countdown to the launch of its new ‘vanity URL’ feature, which opens for mayhem this Saturday at 12.00am EDT. The concept is a simple one that will allow every user to choose a name (with a minimum of five characters) and create a personalised link to their profile or fan page.

This past weekend I was sitting in the shade of the London Eye, when a friend of mine beckoned upwards and said; 'you know that's WiFi enabled now, right?' After a good minute or so of slightly bemused silence, I ended up biting back all of the potential for sarcasm and just said no.

Go ahead, laugh. But think about it; what is the most crucial commodity in the world today? Information. Even if you're not quizzing Number Six, you are still bound to be wading through tons of information every day even if you don't wear a cable modem as an IV like I do. Estimates vary, but

SkyFire - a mobile web browser - is out of beta today with their latest software release. SkyFire aims to change the way we browse the web on our phones: making less about sites with special mobile versions, and more about the user experience.

The real title of this post should be "10 Tech things that make me laugh no matter how stupid they are and how many times I see them." That's kind of cumbersome, so I went with the above.
