Computer Weekly…

I used to read Computer Weekly every week and found a job in its pages. It’s a real rag but it’s a legendry rag.

“The first issue of Computer Weekly magazine in 1966 was the start of an era in the UK IT industry – the first ever weekly technology publication. When the final print edition of the magazine comes out on 19 April, it will be the start of another exciting era, where Computer Weekly goes fully digital, reflecting the dramatic changes that the internet has brought to not just our business but those of all our readers.”

In 1966 England won the World Cup and Computer Weekly launched the world’s first weekly IT newspaper – 4/8/2011 – Computer Weekly.

Seems like Twitter has decided that the future belongs to the closed business model.

I’m sure that that they will all make fortunes. However, they’re now no longer cool.

PS – And why today? The day that iPad 2 hits the streets? Hiding news?

It’s all true…

“A few weeks later, I buckled and bought an iPhone. And you know what? It felt good. Within minutes of switching it on, sliding those dinky little icons around the screen, I was hooked. This was my gateway drug. Before long I was also toting an iPad. And after that, a Macbook. All the stuff people said about how Macs were just better, about them being a joy to use . . . it was true, all of it.”
