Hello! I’m Ash Matadeen.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a London Underground iPhone app that told you which carriage to get into when boarding so that you'd be right by your exit when you get off?

And what if it also told you which side of the train the platform would be on at your stop.

I think i've found just the app. It's called 'Tube Exits' and it even works offline. Pure Genius!

It's Christmas day and Santa is having a ball.  Hope you're all having as much fun as Mr. Claus himself, he sure knows how to party.  Merry Christmas! :)

Late last week the BBC chose to delete from its website a damning Newsnight investigation into the Trafigura scandal, following legal threats from the company and its controversial lawyers, Carter-Ruck.

Previously, other media outlets including the Times and the Independent, had withdrawn stories about the case, amid concerns that the UK press is choosing to engage in self-censorship, rather than risk a confrontation with such a powerful company in the UK’s archaic and one-sided libel courts.

I stumbled upon the Marmite (pop-up) shop while wondering the streets of London on Wednesday. It stocks over 100 different Marmite inspired products (marmite breadsticks, homewares, artwork, clothes, books, etc) many of which are exclusive to the shop. It even has a 'bar' upstairs where you can enjoy some marmite on toast with a cup of tea. Here are some photos from my quick visit.

If you're a Marmite fan, it's at 80-82 Regent Street by the entrance to Quadrant Arcade. It's open 7 days a week through to the first week of January. :-)

When Orange announced their pricing for the iPhone a few weeks ago, they quoted a limit of 750MB on what they call their unlimited plan. So I thought I'd look back at my past data usage (with O2) just to see how it compares to Orange's unlimited limit of 750MB. The results: the closest I got to the 750MB limit was 727MB. I suspect this was mostly due to me trying out the Spotify app during that month. Although I consider myself a heavy data user, my usage has otherwise been well below 750MB a month.

So do I think that the 750MB Orange limit reasonable? Probably! However, if O2 had better 3G coverage in my area, I expect I would be using significantly more data. What's your usage like? Note: Orange has since backtracked* on their unlimited limit.

*sort of

Thanks to @sledgecallier for showing me how to access my data usage statistics that's buried deep inside the MyO2 website.
