Currys adverts on Sky One: marketing failure? →
I’ve just caught a few of the new Currys advertising spots on Sky One — they sponsor The Simpsons and Futurama now after Domino’s dropped out last year (details).
I’ve seen three of these spots:…
Well, not quite, but it did feel that way.
Started on Saturday afternoon when my friend Scott came around. As we were making a curry for tea, I followed his advice and made up a batch of his curry base sauce. He’s taken and modified a number of recipes from a currymaking forum (I can’t remember the name, unfortunately); they are aimed at reproducing, not authentic Indian cuisine, but rather...

TechCrunch: We think we’re entitled to them.
AT&T: You want answers?!
TechCrunch: We want Google Voice on our iPhones.
AT&T: You can’t handle the iPhone with Google Voice!

I also saw this fantastic comment on the Oregon newspaper website I was following coverage on:
