Sadly I couldn’t make it to BarCamp London 7 this weekend, but thought it would still serve as a decent enough occasion to share some thoughts about the Rummble API via the interwebs. The API officially launched last month at Over the Air, however I was the first person to take it for a spin [...]

As the clock ticks down towards the Vice Presidential debates in Washington, the Obama campaign has once again pushed the boundaries of campaigning in the 21st century by launching a free Official Obama 08 iPhone application.

Well it certainly has been an interesting day for all things Apple. The anticipation that accompanies any Apple announcement seems to grow each time.
