Having just watched a short video about Google's taking over the world, the Internet, and the very cables that deliver said Internet, and spent a short aftermath considering the potential evils of the company, I've been quite easily won over by this new release: Google Public Data Explorer.

More interesting than Google Buzz, over which the general public can't seem to decide if it loves, hates it, or just wants to shout loudly about it without having a real opinion, Google Street View Snowmobile has appeared.

The Apple iPad has been launched. We have made some feminine-hygeine jokes, chortled, and idly wondered if we'll be inclined to buy it. Unfortunately we then had to turn off our Twitter apps because the inundation was unbearable.
There is other important news in the world today, aside from Appl...

Our very own Rob Hollands and Rick Evans, MD and Creative Director, have been featured in a magazine this week, although they were slightly disappointed to hear it wasn't for Heat's 'Torso of the Week'.

Recall Spiderman swinging through the streets of New York or LA (Spiderman fans, help me out here) surrounded by McDonalds signs; an interesting story in which original advertisers saw their spots covered-over on screen by Spiderman sponsors - a notion I love. This made them rather angry.

Tomorrow there will be more festive news, but today in continuation of Murdoch's and Google's moves towards paid news content, The Times has joined in. In quite a sad move (I, perhaps like many others believe in a world of free content) The Times plans to relaunch in the spring of 2010 with ...
