pmcrayI see that the MPC has just cut the base rate by 0.25%.
Obviously, the economy is in more trouble than we thought.
Oh, dear.
On a lighter note, I had a look at the LiveJournal list of most popular interests. The first 24 were unremarkable enough. 25 was Weezer. Who or what, I thought to myself, is Weezer. In turns out, unsurprisingly, that Weezer is (are? Are bands singular or plural?) a popular beat combo (me lud). Quite why they are so popular with LiveJournalist, I have no idea. But indy music does seem particularly popular around these parts.

Re: Mobile Revolution
Date: 2003-02-09 05:02 am (UTC)I'm less than convinced this will be a killer app for 3G, few people stream into their PC's from broadband - there might be some data hungry applications, but the real killers remain things like surfing and email - neither of which work well on a small form factor device. I tend to think that we lose sight of the key function of a mobile phone. That is, you make phone calls on it.
Obviously other factors might change this and there will be 3G whether its used or not, I'm just not all that convinced that it will be a rapid adoption or we'll see the kind of use levels we associate with SMS, which, at the end of the day is what the network operators want.
