Favourite Links

Hi everyone, 

Its Valentine's Day...*sigh* this day really bugs me. We all know that Valentine's Day is a capitalist con, the over crowded restaurants, 'premium priced' roses and the pressure for couples to feel forced into pretending they like each other. On the other hand singletons are encouraged to feel unworthy as the only thing in their letterbox is a pizza flier.

Its all a lie and incredibly false; a person's love should not have to be topped up with annual offerings of overpriced pink and red tat. Anyhoo this post is about my new little series 'Favourite Links' not 'VD'. This won't happen every Friday, but I thought it would be a nice way of sharing links that like and that might be of you too.

I can’t believe I’m blogging about this… for those who know me, you’ll already know I’m not the biggest Apple fan. I think their overpriced and overhyped and after the latest launch announcement I stand strongly behind my statement. After all the waiting, rumors and speculations about an iPhone 5 it turns out to be a ‘new’ iPhone 4S.  – What was that, the sigh of disappointment? Yeah I KNOW! Kmt!

Basically it’s the same as the iPhone 4 but with a few extra perks, which in a nutshell are

• A new chip (same as iPad 2) that makes the graphics faster
• 8 megapixel rear camera – but seriously in today’s market would you expect any less!
• Voice-controlled talking assistant – like KITT from Knight Rider (well sort of…)
• Makes decent calls (apparently)

 Hmm… I still was expecting a lot more, especially for £400-£500 quid. This isn’t enough to convert me I’m afraid, the Samsung Galaxy SII I believe is still a better buy – cheaper too :P

Who knows maybe I’m speaking too soon...
