iPhone 3G, terrorists and tech, file sharers vs ISP

Comment Via another route you can get to the ordering page but this then leads you back to the "out of stock" message. I received a text from O2 saying the 3G iPhone was available as I'd pre-ordered but going to the website it says it's out of stock. [15 Jul 2008]

BI for all

Comment Probably the most decisive mover in the market has been Microsoft, with its message of 'BI for the masses'. Organisations are capturing and storing data from a multitude of sources such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer... [18 Jul 2007]

The Weekly Round-Up: 29.06.07

Round-Up It's simply not true but despite this the silicon.com team member thoroughly enjoyed the Glastonbury Festival and to all those cynics who would have you believe the whole event has sold out the message is simple - don't believe it for one minute. [29 Jun 2007]

The Weekly Round-Up: 25.05.07

Round-Up The real icing on the cake was provided by the sending of the world's highest text message, which was sent to its original author, Motorola staffer John Barlow, who had won an internal competition. The text message (grab the sick bucket), written... [25 May 2007]

How mobile is your corner shop?

Comment In the 'Shop Scan Save' scheme, shoppers will receive a text message containing a barcode that can be scanned to score a discount on a number of goods. They will be able to text keywords to get discounts on goods they want to buy. [13 Apr 2007]

Will's Web Watch: Glastonbury and lessons in uptime

Comment One thing I certainly wouldn't rank up there with 'fun ways to spend a Sunday morning' is sitting staring at a constant 'Page not found' error message and listening to an engaged tone on the phone. The absence of a simple text-only version for the... [02 Apr 2007]

Stop communications overload before it starts

Comment This troublesome for an individual but potentially disastrous from an auditing perspective, where actions triggered by one message are not countermanded by another message through an alternative route. [26 Mar 2007]

VoIP threats to watch out for

Comment Examples of hacks for SIP include registration hijacking, which allows a hacker to intercept incoming calls and reroute them; message tampering, which allows a hacker to modify data packets travelling between SIP addresses; and session tear-down... [09 Mar 2007]

Upwardly Mobile: Where are all the QRs?

Comment If you download some QR reading software onto your mobile, you should be able to take a snap and convert the code into text - and read my 'secret' message to you. No? Neither have many other people in the UK, apparently. [06 Feb 2007]

The Weekly Round-Up: 17.11.06

Round-Up No I'm not on my own… I'm waiting for other people who may well have just left a message to say they're running late. Apparently women also send text messages to one another which are twice as long as messages sent between men. [17 Nov 2006]

Upwardly Mobile: Why I won't buy an iPhone

Comment If a phone could bring me up a text message or contact I was looking for in the same way iTunes helps me find a song, I'd be a happy bunny indeed. Apple may think all iPod users are dying to buy an iPhone - but not Jo Best. [10 Nov 2006]

3GSM Diary: The chillin' house, out of Africa and Olympic efforts

Comment Perhaps fitting for a song containing the lyric "All calls diverted to answerphone/ Please leave a message after the tone". He said he can, for example, send a text to his home with an instruction such as 'Chill', so that when he gets there... [16 Feb 2006]

The Weekly Round-Up: 4.11.05

Round-Up The Round-Up hopes it is a two-part question which, first off, awards some points for spotting which one was written by the Romantic-era poet and which was the text message. While the Round-Up, as a scholar of the English language, clearly jests... [04 Nov 2005]

The Weekly Round-Up: 14.10.05

Round-Up By sending a text message to the special PG Tips kettles (though we presume the water is good for coffee, Horlicks or even hot chocolate) the sender can switch on the kettle and start the process from the comfort of their desk (assuming they don't... [14 Oct 2005]

The Weekly Round-Up: 26.08.05

Round-Up According to the survey, a shocking 34 per cent of respondents admitted to no longer sending postcards, favouring a text message instead. It's meant to sound like 'abroad', while also getting across the message that said Brits, when on their holi... [26 Aug 2005]
