#“BMW 5-Series. Old or new for my Da?” My Da's 12 year old BMW will fail its NCT unless he has 5 grand of work done on it so he has finally decided to get a new one. The new 520d and 525d are catching his eye. The advantage of the 525d is that it is available in March. The big disadvantage is a massive price uplift over the 520d.

#“Google Shopper for Android - Nice” via google.com Another area I knew they would eventually invade. Google Goggles made into a useful product. US focussed now but give it time. What ever happened to Compare Everywhere? For a long time it vied with Shopsavvy in this space and then disappeared out of the Android Market. Did Google buy it?
