    Let it all go with Pokémon

    Life, James Hein, Published on 20/07/2016

    » The Pokémon Go game is taking the smartphone world by storm. Like Ingress before it, it is a real world location based game so you physically have to get out of the house to play it. Unlike Ingress, it has a cartoon character so kids love it but mums and dads don't so much because they have to drive their kids around to out of the way places to get the next Pokémon. This is another game by Niantic, a group within Google and the ones who built Ingress. The game was also quite insecure on iOS phones but that was apparently fixed with a patch. There have been no issues reported by Android phone users.

    Microsoft and the Europeans

    Life, James Hein, Published on 14/12/2016

    » For those upset by Brexit and the election of Trump, Microsoft has an answer -- LinkedIn. In a statement to the EU after the recent acquisition, Microsoft indicated as much after the EU expressed concern that Microsoft would do its usual trick of integrating LinkedIn into Office and combine the databases. There were also concerns that only MS CRM users would have access but, given the take-up of the MS CRM system, that was soon dismissed as a concern. Microsoft has agreed to a number of EU conditions, including third-party access to Office, keeping Office customisable, allowing for separate installation of LinkedIn, and allowing it to be uninstalled. The EU has always been tough on organisations like Microsoft that try to set up any kind of monopoly, but this time it might be a bit of a storm in a teacup.

    Pokemon, an oops and a US Navy blunder

    Life, James Hein, Published on 27/07/2016

    » Pokemon Go has taken the world by storm, well everywhere apart from places like China where Google is banned altogether so the frustrated potential Chinese players need to make a trip to Hong Kong to get to play. Pokemon players are fairly easy to spot. They are looking at their phone screens, heads down, fingers not moving or only occasionally. They will normally be seen in groups as everyone is trying to grab a Pokemon character at a specific location. Depending where you are in the world and the popularity of the game in your general area you may have noticed a drop in Internet speed.
