I think the guys at Joy of Tech were sitting just waiting for Apple to have an event. Following the launch of the device we all thought would be called the iPad3 or iPad HD and that turned out to actually just be the iPad, Nitrozac and Snaggy put together two comics to unpack the main issues of the event.I am really glad they did, because they have addressed the elephant in the.... room? World? Whatever, they addressed an elephant ...
I was browsing through The Joy of Tech, a popular webcomic site, earlier when I came across this hilarious comic. Siri's abilities have amazed us since Apple introduced her to us last year. She can do almost anything and if she is unable to do it, she will find a way to get it done. She's a dream, she doesn't argue too much and you don't really feel the need to argue with her because Siri knows best.She could ...
"Going viral": the holy grail of geeks everywhere. The process is deceptively simple and organic reshares and reposts take many forms depending on the platform. A good way to think of the process is as if social media behaves like an amplifier for content created by other media, then chains of retweets by many users lead to observed trends that can then be monitored and capitalised on.So what are the drivers and mechanics behind self-replicating content? Here are five suggestions ...
Just as books, magazines and newspapers have ditched a paper-only form, so comic books have taken up space on the web since the 1980s. The great thing about webcomics is that anyone can publish their own, using a variety of different styles and genres that range from avant-garde to comic strips. In 2007 about 38 000 webcomics were published online, but only about three percent of webcomic creators are financially successful.The first webcomic ever published was Eric Millikin's Witches and ...
Ironically, I experienced a great deal of writer’s block when writing this article. In fact, right now, all I can think of is Fatboy Slim's "right about now, the funk soul brother" which is of no help to any of us. But a deadline is a writer’s best friend, so I opened up Notepad, and went in search of a little inspiration. Where does a writer go to find apps that help you jolly well get on and write?The ...
Mark this day down in your calendar. We have crossed the threshold -- less than one year to go until it all goes up in smoke. The Mayan Calendar predicts the end of days on 21 Dec 2012. For obvious reasons, this is quite a big deal to many people, and will affect your decisions on whether to upgrade your phone now or later, pay off your debts, ask that girl out etc…etc…What do you do when you need ...
My search for answers had brought me a long way from home. Online expert and the subject of EMPIRE: How to Succeed with Nothing but Passion, Great Ideas and a Wealthy Family, (which I ghost wrote, but don’t let him know I said that) Dunlop Fantasia had sent me on this quest. "Find out what’s going to be big in 2012," he said, bloodshot eyes staring over his Gucci sunglasses. "You're going to Brazil, I hear great things are happening ...
"Tis' the season to be jolly fa la la la la," says the carol. In actual fact, it’s the season to be silly. We've Christmas-fied our malls, offices, and houses and if you feel that just isn’t enough; there's one more thing that you can imbue with the spirit of commercialism.App makers, or the pet rock salespeople of the 21st century as I see them, have also gone all Christmas for us.So, if you fell and hit your ...
