Tablet as DLNA Controller

Read this article to the end. Sony clearly have an interesting approach to the "ten foot interface problem".

Fibre to the Cabinet

We have mentioned Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) before. Well it has arrived and here is the cabinet. The fibre presumably runs under where they dug up the pavement. This is the one round the corner which made a better picture than the nearest one.

Nomad really needs to subscribe to BT Infinity. At present that seems to be the only way to get access to the fibre.

Royal Wedding live streaming

The live streaming on Youtube worked at first, but as the service got under way it froze, probably due to weight of numbers.

Fortunately The Telegraph was providing live streaming as well and the quality was not bad. Well done to our favourite source of news.

Royal Wedding

What does a refusenik do for a major event like the Royal Wedding? Dont worry it is on YouTube.

Then again ......

Despite Mark Thompsons complaints, he has managed to recruit a new director of television. It warms you heart doesnt it, that George Entwistle is selflessly prepared to engage in public service on the tiny salary of 270K.

Of course if I was George I would be none to pleased at my boss telling everyone that he would have liked to see someone better in the job. Then again I would be a millionaire after just four years and I probably would be able to stick it.

Let them eat cake!

For the ruler of the court of Versailles (by whom we mean Mark Thompson and not Louis XVI) it seems that things are going from bad to worse. These days it seems that flunkeys just will not bother getting out of bed for less than 100K and the Third Estate seems disinclined to provide any more funds. Poor King Mark will soon be reduced to typing his own memos and eating takeaways from the local chippy.

Then again it turns out that expense claims have gone up a remarkable 60% in just three months. Perhaps the flunkeys are just recovering thier foregone bonuses by another means.

Meanwhile the peasants have no bread. About time for a storming of the gates?

YourFired

The YouView project is in trouble, or so it seems. Why else would you send for Alan Sugar. We are rather hopeful that Sir Alan will decide the project is not worth saving. Perhaps he will even tell the staff that thier services are no longer required.

In any event, the longer that this project takes to get to market, the more irrelevant it becomes. Whichever way you read it, this is good news.

Marxist takes over Question TIme

I know that some people think our opposition to the BBC is over the top. How do they explain a marxist appointed to edit Question Time. We just are not capable of making this stuff up.

In an interesting twist he even has a Russian name for goodness sake. Does this tell us anything?
