The internet isn’t broken, but there are cracks and a sledgehammer rests in the hands of the heads of the G8. I started formulating this post last week as I finished the final session of the e-G8 Forum in Paris. The Forum was a platform to formulate advice to the G8 conference held directly afterwards. [...]

Yesterday news flooded the interwebs about the really crap new logo from Gap. They launched the new logo on their website and let the world know… mostly via social media.

Visitors to the Japanese App Store on iTunes today were greeted with an array of character parts that an astute eye could recognise as the cartoon character, Doraemon.

Via a tip from one of my team here at UltraSuperNew, I found that apparently there is a new niche market in Tokyo.
The lucrative “girls who travel to Tokyo via Shinkansen (bullet train) in search of love” demographic is apparently on the rise and are now being catered to with their own magazine called Shinkansen&Love.

I have held off until now about writing about anything related to the iPhone on this blog. So many people have written so much that I didn’t think another post was necessary. However, I feel compelled to write this one just because using it encourages me to write about it. I am writing my first [...]

One of the things that has long amazed me about Japanese blogs is the use of blog widgets or “blog parts” as they are referred to in Japanese.
