The slimmest ‘Golden Pages’ ever

INSTALL:Truvo, publishers of the Golden Pageshave released a free iPhone app that gives access all the usual information that you would expect to find in the venerable phone directory but at a fraction of the weight. You don't just get phone numbers and addresses but also e-mail addresses, website links and a GPS navigation feature that will bring you to the door of the business in question.

Antenna-gate:  Fact or Fiction?

WATCH:The reception problems with Apple's iPhone 4.0 have been the subject of much commentary, informed and ill-informed, since the device was launched in the US in June.

This tongue-in-cheek YouTube video from PA Consulting, which besides proving that management consultants should probably steer clear of humour, concludes that the iPhone 4.0’s reception is at the lower range of acceptable for similar smartphones. It also provides a link to PA’s in-depth research.

Nama Wine Lake

BOOKMARK:The Nama Wine Lake blog describes itself as being akin to a press-cutting service relating to our State bad bank for development loans which is "neutral on the concept of Nama and is more concerned with implementation". It is certainly a comprehensive service and if its recent regular postings are anything to go by, there is plenty of original comment and research to go alongside the links to Nama coverage elsewhere.

Two Gmail accounts at once in the  same browser

ACCESS:Most families these days share at least one PC in the home but, if you are Gmail users, that means you are constantly logging in and out of each others e-mail accounts. Google has now introduced a feature that allows you to have up to three different Gmail accounts open from within one web browser. The feature also works for some, but not all, Google services.
