• Whatever happened to public wi-fi? 09:16am on 20 Aug 2009 According to this all the different technologies (3G, Mobile, Wifi) are going to combine into one particular transmitter. So I think in the future we won't be able to distinguish between any of them!
• The Web at 20 06:52am on 11 Jul 2009 To be honest I have noticed how people change when they use computers too much and shut themselves away from real life. I went through this myself previously when playing too many computer games as a young adult. It takes a good few months if not years to get back to normal.
  
  Where would we go to contribute to this documentary? I'd be interested in contributing...
• Medical records via Google or Microsoft? 06:47am on 11 Jul 2009 If I had to choose between the two companies, I'd choose Google to protect my data - but to be honest, I'd choose either over our Government managing it!!!
• Twitter - too corporate by half? 06:47am on 11 Jul 2009 I think to have a got at Twitter regarding their monetization is a little short sighted. Their user base is big and its growing - I now use Twitter more than Facebook - I can see easy ways for them to monetise what they have, ok so the advert on the side isn't working - but what if they were to do sponsored ads on a CPM or CPC basis?
• Facebook - growing up fast 06:42am on 11 Jul 2009 In all honesty I imagine they can support it through ad revenue - and I think ad revenue for them is likely to double per user in the future as more and more companies start using Facebook Ads and get better at doing it - it uses an auction system to - so the ad revenue is only going to increase per user.
• Chrome - living in a Google world? 00:26am on 10 Jul 2009 Well I for one will be switching to Google Chrome - in fact I'm writing this on my android mobile! One thing concerns me though - it took 5 minutes to scroll down the page to comment! Anyways - this will certainly hit MS where it hurts - but Bing is becoming quite successful - in the end the consumer wins.
  
  I wonder how long it will be before Google make video games!
• Identity fraud insurance - is it worth it? 11:56am on 26 Jun 2009 I'm concerned about identity theft, but one thing I have found helps is having my website, David Whitehouse - it has a big picture of me on it and it ranks for my name. So if people want to be sure who I am they can search for me on Google and find out. Although I'm not sure how effective this is.
  
  Other things I do is having a complex password system which changes for every site I use, yet it is still rememberable (most of the time). That way if someone cracks a password to one site, they don't crack them all. Having the same password for every site is just foolish.
• So long and thanks for all the... 10:59am on 26 Jun 2009 Good luck!
• A browser-free Windows 7 5:24pm on 25 Jun 2009 I think thats ludicrous - they should allow them to include their own browser.
• Things that tweet 09:04am on 24 Jun 2009 Thats so cool - I can't believe my boxer shorts might be tweeting that they need a clean in a few years time!
