Microsoft – another empire in decline?

It’s a shame to yet more signals that Microsoft are blundering and refusing to listen to customers. As we’ve suggested before, Microsoft seem to be “just doing their own thing” and hoping that the rest of the world will follow suit. Almost 4 months have passed since Windows 8 was widely released. Yet Windows 7 is still [...]

Learn to love Facebook!

I meet a wide cross-section of different people in my profession and social life – different sexes, ages, outlooks and positions in life. One of the most interesting and diverse attitudes is towards our old friend, Facebook. Youngsters embrace it instantly and can’t imagine a world without it. Those of us in the middle have [...]

WordPress and e-commerce

E-commerce websites provide visitors with the facility to purchase products directly from a website. A shopping cart allows the seller to list their products (usually in a hierarchy of categories), providing full details of the products (including multiple images, descriptions, sizes, colours, shipping charges, taxes, etc.).

The new Instant Search feature seems fine to me (when I’m an ‘end user’), but [...]

But of course we’ll have to wait until the day to have this confirmed. Fortunately, Josh.biz is not a VAT registered business so this won’t effect our service costs. Currently, [...]

Reasons to switch to Google Chrome

Google’s own browser software, Google Chrome is giving Internet Explorer and Firefox a run for their money. Statistics show that it’s share of the market is increasing and feedback from those who use it is very positive. Having revisited this web page browser and used it for the past 2 weeks exclusively, I have to [...]

The world needs a new Facebook…

Facebook’s dismal attitude to privacy has been coming up a lot lately. If you have a Facebook account, try looking yourself up (log off Facebook first). As well as showing your profile picture to the public at large, the Google result displays the names of random Facebook friends. I even found my Facebook profile picture being displayed [...]
