    Which is the first company that pops into your head when I ask the question, who manufactured the fastest selling gadget of all time to date? If you guessed Apple, I wouldn’t blame you, but you’d be incorrect – it’s actually, believe it or not Microsoft! That’s right, a new Guinness World record for the…

    A good friend of mine brought a very interesting site called 9-eyes.com to my attention recently.

    Ok, I know I have posted about Back to the Future before … however I promise this isn’t another blog post about Michael J Fox and the movies that made him famous back in the 80s.
