Comment on iPhone App Developers, lend me your ears! by Alex Chittock

I would think it’d be alright for those html, css and js apps that are wrapped in an app container, e.g. something made with appcelerator. And if you have a look at some ebook software, it is possible to change the font size.

It’s also feasible that you could write an accessibility framework for apps to be developed with. Could use a modified version of pinch n zoom to do the text size. And might be worth handling colours at the same time; allowing high contrast and tinted versions of applications.

Comment on Sky broadband customer? Moving house? Read This! by Patrick van Sloun

I am moving soon and as they are incompetent in moving broadband (even if you have a new phone line with a new number at the new house)

I have decided to leave Sky as they need to disconnect me and then I have to apply for a new broadband connection at the new place which would take 14 days…..

BT could do it on the day I move

An interesting and thought provoking event. Over the last year there have been many marketing articles on ‘how to crack selling’ on social networks, with this now rating as one of marketing’s top objectives. I hope this will register as a valuable lesson that we don’t necessarily want to be bombarded with marketing from every single source of media in our lives – and that we can bite back, as in the case of Worthing!
