Guy Fawkes night always produces a bang or two, and this bonfire weekend Canon have made the biggest noise of all, releasing their new professional-level camera, the C300.
Due for distribution the UK in January, the C300 will come in two flavours – basically to accommodate two different lens mount systems: the EF (which will be common to existing Canon users) and the PL, most typically seen on Arri’s range of high-end camera systems.
Like all good software, it is prudent to wait for the release of the ‘point-zero-one’ to ensure 
bugs are ironed out; and this morning Apple have delivered with their iOS update.
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, took time out of his busy schedule this week to visit a round-a-bout in Old Street.
Kind of.
What he was actually doing was offering support for an area of East London called ‘TechCity;’ a group of 600-odd tech businesses that have developed in that area.

With great, and to be honest slightly cheesy fanfair, Nokia unveiled their 2 new windows phone handsets at Nokia World here in London yesterday. Despite the slightly cringe-worthy apeing of the informal presentation style popularized by you know who (who in fairness never shouted “it’s awesome” in the middle of a demo) I was pretty impressed with what they had to say and show off.

That’s right, nothing here yet I’m afraid.
Partly down to procrastination, but mainly down to rebuilding the site (we’ve changed from a corporate “shopfront” to this blog). As a result we’re collating all the articles and will be slowly drip feeding our best efforts into the blog (It’s very much a part time exercise whilst we get on with our day jobs here and here.)
As many of you wordpress nerds will recognise we’re using the twentyeleven WP theme here, at the moment it is pretty vanilla (which actually I quite like) but I intend to hack this as we go along.
If anyone has actually read this, then I’d be inclined to tell you to watch this space, if I wasn’t completely averse to such cliches. If nothing else googlebot will enjoy a bit of text to crawl.
