Are large solar farms the BOGOF saviour of renewable energy? A German climate scientist thinks so.

Dark solar panels absorb more heat than reflective desert sand. Updrafts from the temperature difference then turn into rain clouds, not just electricity.

Looks like Apple are getting 'Siri'ous about their AI strategy.

A large number of the Siri development team are being sent on an intensive bootcamp to improve their AI coding.

Will AI coding bootcamps become the norm?...

Many experienced coding for the first time down the local youth club (along with ping-pong & dodgy discos).

A new £30m investment into London youth clubs, could nurture the next generation of developers. Will it be rolled out to the rest of the UK?

Vibe coding is so last season. Now it's all about vibe design.

IMG is a project we can all relate to.

If you’re given an injection, anywhere in the NHS, it's likely the person injecting you will use the Injectable Medicines Guide.

We helped the NHS launch a new, improved IMG. Read our case study to learn more...

We're only two months into 2026 and it already feels like a lot. With so much going on in the world it's easy to get bogged down by the bad stuff.

So let's all be more like this hero... (even if you're cind of scared)

"There's a forum for that!" - may not be a phrase you've heard recently, but old skool forums still hold a wealth of information.

Every now and again https://t.co/o13PkVaXkQ refresh their list of fab forums and it's definitely worth a look.

It was Change Your Password Day, on 1 February.

McDonald's took the opportunity to let customers know they weren't lovin' it when it came to their password choices.

So, if your password resembles Ch!ck3nMcN4gg€t$ you might want to have a rethink!

Hardly surprising, but still interesting to note, new study shows experienced developers benefit most from AI-assisted coding.

There are also some big geographic differences worth looking at...

AI apps 1 | 0 Games

For the first time, mobile app spend in 2025 outstripped games purchases.

With AI app adoption looking set to increase further, how much growth will the segment see in 2026?
