    Update: manifesto is here, first year’s results here In case it’s not been obvious: to a first approximation I have stopped Tweeting; I engage, respond to questions and use DMs (etc) – but since early January I have imposed a few extra rules on myself: If it’s worth a tweet, it’s worth a short blogpost or…

    Looks like HTC’s approach to software updates for its phones is to throw them over the wall to Cyanogenmod. From this experience this is possibly bad for corporate strategy but semi-good for open-source geeks in that there will be a lot of hackable hardware kicking around for cheap.

Over recent days, subscribers to the firm’s TV and radio services have been offered the highlights of the “Manchester City v A***nal” game and “Jarvis C**ker’s Sunday Service”.

    Fortnum & Mason has come under fire for asking customers to email their credit card details in order to get a refund, after an IT glitch prevented the store from delivering all of its hamper orders in time for Christmas.
