Following hot on the heels of Radiohead - which must be something of a first for the person involved - Sir Cliff Richard is going to let internet users decide how much his new album should cost. Sneak refuses to be drawn into suggesting that the average Cliff fan may not be best placed to operate a computer, since they are probably still struggling with the highly complex instructions that came with their Argos catalogue, but he will say that Cliff's decision is a pretty good one. According to the web site lovecliffrichard.com the download version of 'Love, the Album" will have flexible pricing depending on many people agree to have it in their homes, in the run up to its November 12 release date. Sneak votes for a fiver, and Sir Cliff can pay him in luncheon vouchers if he likes - so long as Sneak gets the danger money, he will be happy. Oh, and if there is any flexibility on the album title, Sneak suggests Hate, this Album. Following hot on the heels of Radiohead - which must be something of a first for the person involved - Sir Cliff Richard is going to let internet users...

Microsoft built a custom Windows Mobile user interface for a new phone that T-Mobile USA is announcing Monday, evidence that Microsoft may be getting more serious about pursuing the consumer mobile market. The phone, built by HTC, will be the first in a line of phones from T-Mobile using the new Shadow brand, said David Sholkovitz, marketing manager at T-Mobile.
While Microsoft has worked with operators to help modify the operating system to fit their needs, this project represented a new level of partnership, said Doug Smith, director of marketing for Microsoft's mobile communications business. "I'd say this was one of the deeper partner involvements we've had on a new product," he said.

So, according to some new government statistics, nearly all the phones stolen in the UK last month were locked down by the network carrier within 48 hours. Yes, Sneak has been trawling through the latest figures from the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum (MICAF) - well, there's not much else to do on Sundays now, since Mrs Sneak decided to shack up with the plumber. But the message still doesn't seem to be getting through - a reported 800,000 phones were stolen last year. Sneak wonders whether Nokia, Motorola et al. could try to develop capabilities in their devices similar to Judge Dredd's Lawgiver gun, which explodes when anyone other than the authorised user tries to operate it. The mean streets of our city centres would be littered with blood-stained Burberry caps and torn, smouldering hoodies. But at least our mobiles may be safe.

A new Swedish-engineered computer is helping fight the UK's growing epidemic of fatties, Sneak has discovered. Apparently the ingenious system works by placing a plate of food on a set of scales, attached to the computer. If said child is eating too quickly, the mandometer (yes, that really is its name) will have a go at the poor porky. And if they snarf too much too quickly, said technology will ask "are you still hungry?". Great. Sarcastic computers; is this what the 21st century is going to be remembered for?
