How Sez Sees It

"How dare they assume I would use my phone as a phone!" I roared in the office a moment ago (or several depending on when you read this...) Over the last two days I have had 20 phone calls (and counting) from a variety of numbers, but all the same company. They never state who they are, but they say they are calling from O2 to offer me an upgrade. This might be ok...if I was due to upgrade! As it is I did this a couple of months ago. Anyone that knows me will remember that my old mobile handset was playing up so I upgraded to the excellent Samsung Galaxy S5 a couple of months before I was due to upgrade. I was even happy to pay a little extra in order to do this at the time. I just wanted a working phone and that is what I got (and more, it is a good handset...but enough about that). Then, two days ago as stated, I started getting the annoying calls. They never seem to stay ringing long enough for me to pick up and speak to anyone and they never seem to leave a voice m...

I thought I would leave the blogging about News International until a little later (a quick aside, there was a brilliant moment last night when LulzSec hacked into The Sun's website and posted a story about the death of Rupert Murdoch.  Needless to say this has been taken down now but that is really quite funny).  Anyway, the NI stuff is for later because the select committee are sitting today with the Murdochs and Brooks so that will be worth talking about later on (incuding the bag incident...worth waiting for). Anyway, onto the rant of the morning.  I am hoping that someone will read this and have an answer for me.  I cannot get on the WiFi on my Galaxy S.  I love this phone, trust me, I do, but it is the annoying thing is that I have had the problem affecting many Galaxy S users. It starts off for a couple of months saying that the device is 'obtaining IP address'.  It does this for ages, turning the WiFi on and off automatically.  Eventually t...

The BBC has announced it will show both the finals of Wimbledon on 3D TV for the first time.  As much as I would love to see Nadal in 3D (because believe me I would), I myself do not have a 3D TV so will be watching it on bog standard HD :-P I think the best comment I saw though was a Sun reader who announced that the advent of 3D TV was over as there was hardly any of it about.  I thought this was fairly amusing as more than anything it made me think about how quickly technology can move on. I remember back in 2004 we still had only analogue TV in our house.  Where we live signals  for TVs and phones tend to be dreadful.  In fact it was so bad that we couldn't have Channel Five tuned in (not really a bad thing).  Then that year we got Freeview.  I remember that day so well.  We could only get about 10 of the 30 or so channels to work and we had to get a booster arial, but it was still better than the analogue.  Then this year we got Free...
