HELP!

I’m not a Star Wars person, never have been, but I still find today’s announcement that George Lucas has sold Lucasfilm (and all associated bits and pieces) to Disney really interesting. Almost as interesting is that they are proceeding with and ‘Episode 7′ with a view to make more in the future.

To those suggesting that the new iPad mini, which starts at $329, will make more people buy the $199 7-inch competitors – have you been paying no attention during the past couple of years?

It doesn’t take a genius to see that Samsung are scared, you only run stupid marketing campaigns like this one if you are, or if your marketing folk are equally as daft – or both. If you haven’t seen the ad, and have no idea what I’m rambling about, I’ve attached the full thing at the bottom of this post.

Flicking through my rss feeds, as I do every morning, I spotted an article on MacRumors with (yet more) rumoured details about the specs of the unannounced, unreleased iPad 3. After reading the short article my sole thought was… Oh great, its going to end up being called iPad 2S and I’m going to have to listen to the elitest-tech-morons of the world complain for months because it wasn’t called the iPad 3.

It’s 2012 and this blog is now 5 years old. I figured, then, that this would be as good a time as any to clean things up. So I have. As far as “clean ups” go, this one is extreme. I’m starting with an empty root directory, brand-new database, fresh install of WordPress 3.3 and an extra-minimalistic theme. I’ve rebooted.

So. Let’s get this straight. Apple have just announced their new iPhone with a dual core processor that’s twice as fast as the previous model, graphics that are up to 7x faster, an improved — global (GSM/CDMA) — antenna design, an all new 8MP camera that blows the previous 5MP one out of the water
