A new blog
Well I’ve finally consolidated the following into my new site:
- Very old posts from when I was 14 (in 1999!)
- Posts from my old site, webbunny.co.uk
- Posts from Tumblr
And I’m going to start microblogging here.
Most of my old posts are set as private – sorry about that!
Another fresh beginning 😉
The meaning of ‘knowing’
The meaning of ‘knowing’ has shifted from being able to remember and repeat information to being able to find and use it.

Tim Cook on workplace rights
So long as the law remains silent on the workplace rights of gay and lesbian Americans, we as a nation are effectively consenting to discrimination against them.

The cost of selling Galaxies
A frequent put-down of Apple is that its success is all down to the amount of marketing they do.
Well, turns out Samsung, the #1 seller of Android phones, spends 10 times the amount on marketing than Apple does.
That’s more than Apple, Dell, HP, Microsoft and Coca-Cola combined.

Epic Games
When Epic Games released the computer-exclusive Unreal Tournament 2004, it was packaged with nearly one-hundred maps for use across half-a-dozen game types. Thousands upon thousands of free, community-created maps followed. Two years later, Epic Games released Gears of War, a third-person shooter touted as (and would become) a cornerstone of the Xbox 360 game library. It was packaged with ten maps. Two downloadable map packs would up that number to sixteen. One of the map packs was released for free. The other one featured four maps. It could be downloaded for a price of 800 Microsoft Points™, a price point of approximately ten dollars. And they were able to set these prices by appealing to an audience that had never created a multiplayer map for Doom or downloaded free mods such as Counter-Strike.
