#“HTC Desire Android phone coming soon to Vodafone Ireland”
via comingsoon.vodafone.ie From recent Tweet by @VodafoneIreland to actual announcement in under two weeks. Nice job VF, for real.
Think of it as a Nexus One with snazzy user interface and optical "trackball".
Or think of it as an iPhone where you are in control, not someone in Cupertino.
All things being equal, this will be my next phone. The only things that might prevent that are: »
#“Business Boot Camp. Sign-Up Now.”

#“Keynoir Launches”
Keynoir is an exclusive buying club that gives its members access to a great lifestyle
packed with indulgent and fun experiences in major cities around the world. via keynoir.com I'm delighted for Phil Wilkinson and the rest of the team involved in the launch of Keynoir. One benefit of the recession is the number of sites being created around special offers. We already work with Luckebox in this area in LouderVoice and I know of several others in the planning and Alpha stages. »
#“Oi Nokia. I’m still waiting for my free Ovi Maps”
Or is it Oy Nokia? Or even Nokia Oy. You announced free Turn by Turn Voice Navigation in Ovi Maps on Jan 21st for your newest phones but hilariously not for your "flagship" device cos it didn't have enough space on C:.
It's now March 30th and my N95-8GB still asks me for money if I want to use voice navigation. »
#“Demand Led Innovation Workshops”
I'll be honest, I see the word "innovation" and I instantly picture Dilbert's PHB telling them to leverage synergy. It is a word that has effectively become meaningless. But when it is allied to action, then I'll take another look.
I was contacted a while back by the guys in Innovator.ie about an Innovation Workshop but I mis-read the intent and thought it was just for those in the Civil Security Sector. »
#“Teic.ie \u00bb Xperia X10 to be available on O2 next month”
The phone will be available to customers from 8th April and will be free for some, assuming they sign up to the right bill-pay package. via teic.ie Hurry up @vodafoneireland or you may lose me as a customer. How long before the HTC Desire or Nexus One arrives on VF?

#“The Daily Mash - MASTERCHEF UPGRADED TO CLASS B DRUG”
But just try not watching it, or worse still turning it off before the end. You'll see Gregg Wallace's big testicle-like head, goading you about your inability to deliver strong flavours. via thedailymash.co.uk One of their very finest.

#“How useless is Google Buzz? This useless.”
In the latest of my tough love posts about Buzz (tagline "We're moany bitches cos we care"), I take a screencast of what was displayed to me when I checked Buzz this morning:
6 weeks later and they still think this is acceptable.
TURN OFF THE GODDAMMED EXTERNAL FEEDS IN BUZZ NOW.
Thanks sweeties.
In other Buzz news, I discovered last night that someone with a clue in Google turned on the ability for those with non-2. »
#“Save a packet on O2 Mobile broadband. Cancel and re-subscribe”
I've had O2 mobile broadband for something like 2 years. I haven't used it much at all in the past few months and cancelled it a few weeks back. It was costing 30 p.m. for 10GB. However the ongoing problems with Eircom DSL every single night from 7pm to midnight has been driving me insane. Throughput drops to almost 0bps. The feedback I see on Twitter is that I'm not the only one and Cork seems to be particularly bad. »
#“Colm O’Gorman’s response to Ratzinger’s "it was all someone else’s fault"”
For nowhere in the eight page letter is there an unambiguous acceptance of responsibility for the global systemic cover up of child sexual abuse by priests. Nor is there any acknowledgement of the years of aggressive refusal on the part of the Vatican to accept the simple fact of clerical crimes and institutional church cover up. via colmogorman.com Not much more needs to be said. »
