Just thought to let you know that the official website for PRINCE2 is actually prince2.org.uk, not prince2.com. Just noticed that you have a link there in the article, thought it might be more beneficial and less misleading to visitors if that is linked to the official site. Best, Jay Hi there, great article.

]]> Comment on “You buyin’ that iPad doo-dad?” by Stephen Gray http://www.paulmckey.com/2010/02/06/you-buyin-that-ipad-doo-dad/#comment-6632 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:51:03 +0000 http://www.paulmckey.com/2010/02/06/you-buyin-that-ipad-doo-dad/#comment-6632 I wonder if some of the confusion around the iPad is related to the increasing drive for 'one' device in the market. The humble mobile phone now does everything except wash the dishes (there's probably someone somewhere working on that app right now!). Was the market expecting that the iPad would replace everything in one device - phone, camera, video camera, laptop, web browser, digital book etc. To me the size Apple have chosen makes the purpose clear - it is for enjoying digital content on a decent size screen. If that means that you have to pull your phone out of your pocket when it rings, you'll survive! I'm looking forward to seeing an iPad in the flesh to see what it can do.

Larry makes a crucial point - we are so hamstrung by policy and national determinations there is a danger of real innovation being stifled as a result. National coordination and provision of great infrastructure is an asset but we need flexibility around implementation wherever possible. thanks for this snippet .

]]> Comment on The Free-e-day festival and thoughts of a writer by DanHolloway http://www.paulmckey.com/2009/07/21/the-free-e-day-festival-and-thoughts-of-a-writer/#comment-4262 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 06:53:52 +0000 http://www.paulmckey.com/2009/07/21/the-free-e-day-festival-and-thoughts-of-a-writer/#comment-4262 Paul, thank you so much for posting this. I must say since I contacted you, the response I have had from writers regarding Free-e-day has been fantastic - we now have a whole slew of slam poets (I don't know if there's a collective noun for slam poets) involved, and there are already a goodly number of novels that can be downloaded for free from the site. I should probably make it clear that the suspicious writers are the ones who have in some way "made it" through the existing system, amongst whom there is a very - cautious would be an appropriate word - approach to new ways of doing things. Two further things have happened since I got in touch with you in the book world - the first is the explosion of debate surrounding Chris Anderson's book "Free", and the second is a large amount of soulsearching over the pricing of e-books. I remain 100% committed to providing the e-books of my work for free (not popular amongst established authors, very popular amongst readers :-)) Thank you again.
