Phone camera, GPS, 3G access and an accelerometer. All that's needed to
create augmented reality software to overlay web info onto real-life a
la Gibson and Stross.

Blitz spirit

In a swingeing petty protest at being 'rendered' from my nice, comfy, City office with views of the Tower, great shops, good food, open air and nice people, I have purchased an enormous tub of Marvel dried skimmed milk.
My office had a kitchenette with microwave, kettle and fridge. I could walk to work from home. I was happy and therefore productive. With a smile on my face, a mug of freshly brewed Taylor's Yorkshire tea fogging my specs with each delightful sip I was also productive. Unfortunately I didn't have enough to do to be productive at. So with a lightning speed which made CIA rendition flights look like Saga coach tours I was out of my window seat and inversely buried on the seventh floor (level of Hell) of a Canary Wharf sweatshop.
No kitchenette, no kettle, no fridge, no view, flaky air conditioning and a café that charge 15p for hot water. No walk to work, 5 quid's worth of cattle car travel or an hour long bus ride.
Result. Anger, misery and NO productiveness. F*** EM.
So found, in Tesco, Marvel dried skimmed milk. Ok. A 60's product but it's still a bit blitzy. Coupled with fine Yorkshire tea, hot water out of the (free) coffee machine, I have an approximation of the recently lost freedom to brighten my very own corporate Guantanamo.
The people cannot keep us down. We will fight on through every hardship. Ironically, in the very place the blitz hit hardest. London's east end docklands.

Sainsbury's Go Green

Sainsbury's have outlined a plan to use plates in the car park which generate energy each time a customer drives over them.

"This is the first in a series of greener measures", said Dave Sponge, a spokesman for the store. "Future plans include a creche where we will put your screaming brats in giant wheels like ADHD crazed hamsters. That should be good enough to power Swindon for a week."

When pressed on the legality of using other people's energy, albeit potential energy, Mr Sponge went on the defensive.

"No one complains about Tesco having all those homeless people connected up to a virtual reality system in pods so they can use their BTUs to power the plasmas in the TV department. And don't get me started on what M&S use to make their food so nice."

At this point in the interview Mr Sponge was restrained by two men from the ASA and taken away shouting "It's not any old corpses...".
