Techdigest liveblogs the London Apple iPhone launch
11.41 – Incredible. With just five months left before launch, no Apple die-hards have formed a queue outside the London store. Bloody lightweights. Don't they realise what a great media opp is passing them by. 11.44 Oh hang on…
Daily Tech Hotlinks for 26-June-2007: Librarians, ATMs, German Gmail, internet radio, French BlackBerries
– College librarians have been given a rap over the knuckles and told to start ‘thinking like video gamers’. Err…so start thinking about boobs, Monster Munch, and how wrong the BBFC are for banning Manhunt 2?
– Who knew that the world’s first ATM was installed in a branch of Barclays in Enfield, north London, 40 years ago this week? The maximum withdrawal allowance was a tenner, which “was regarded then as quite enough for a wild weekend”, the 82-year old inventor claims…
Hate the 2012 London Olympics logo? Boycott it with Ben Way's help
Around Shiny Towers we love 26-year-old entrepreneur Ben Way something silly, and it’s not just because we used to share an office with him. No, it’s for his great schemes, like this new un’ he launched via Facebook today.
We already know how horrible the Lisa-Simpson-performing-fellatio-esque 2012 London Olympics logo is, but Ben hates it for a different reason – because of the sponsors, Lloyds TSB being one of them. He is pledging £1 of his own money (he was a millionaire at 15, so can definitely afford it), for every person who signs up via…

Moblogging puts everyone in a foul mood for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics
Our pink-laden sister in the know, Shiny Shiny, has let it slip that this is the official logo for the 2012 London Olympics. Oh. My. Goodness. I can’t decide whether it reminds me of the costume I wore to a bad ’80s party recently, or, as a commenter on Shiny Shiny stated, (which I can’t not think about when I look at the logo), Lisa Simpson performing fellatio…
Daily Tech Hotlinks for 31-May-07: Tiscali, Firefox, Wi-Fi, iTunes
– Tiscali has admitted it will take at least 10 days to restore their customers’ email addresses to full functionality, after being blacklisted as spam by various ISPs. At least we’ve got Big Brother now to distract us…
– Web browser junkies will be jonesing for the fifth alpha release of Firefox 3 from Mozilla set for release tomorrow, sadly syringes aren’t included.
– Apparently Londoners aren’t interested in free internet and the plethora of potential Bittorrents possible, as only 6,000 people have registered to use the free City of London…

David Weeks, Windows Client Marketing Manager for Microsoft UK, jumps onboard this jolly ol' ship, and walks us through a Vista demo. Now this is more like it! 'The great versatility of Vista allows for a greater digital experience',…
Windows Vista Launch, London – Bill Gates Speech 3 (the one where they talk about libraries and we see The Feeling)
Still both yapping on about this new 'Turning The Pages' program that the Library can use with Vista, we're 'treated' to a short film about da Vinci, his manuscripts, and what several key historians think of the involvement with…
