Spoof interview with Steve Jobs about iPad
The sheer volume of ‘noise’ about the Apple iPad is quite astonishing. Not all of it is very complimentary, despite the excitement in the publishing industry. This one is a ‘muppet-like’ take-off of the tech industry pundit Walt Mossberg interviewing Steve Jobs about the iPad. If you don’t like bad language, then you this might not be for you!

Micro-projectors and wireless charging devices were two interesting developments from the CES event in Las Vegas recently.

What do people think of the Apple iPad?
It's barely been two days since the launch of Apple's new device, the iPad. The reactions to it are mixed. Publishers are very excited about it because they can see potential in it for selling their eBooks. Consumers appear to be unsure about whether it is any better than a netbook.
The BBC asked me what I thought of it recently, as well as some other techie people including Jon Moss (@jonmoss) from Hull Digital, and the BBC's tech correspondent, Maggie Shiels. To listen to their opinions, here is a recording.

Print on Demand, Self Publishing and Digital Stitching
Print on Demand is not a new initiative. It has been around for a number of years. But recent news that more new titles are being printed through Print on Demand (PoD) than through traditional printing methods shows how the PoD industry has come of age. It allows out of print books to become available again. It allows authors of new books to publish them themselves without risk and for custom books to be printed quickly to respond to demand.
Digital photography is prolific and free software enables people to create panoramas and 3-D worlds easily by stitching their photographs together quickly and easily.
Will was recently on BBC Radio Linclonshire with William Wright talking about these technologies. To listen to the show, you canplay or download the podcast by clicking the link below.
