Re: Hangouts for SMS

I used Contacts+ to send sms texts with my previous phone. The app appears to have stopped working on my new Nexus 5 with kitkat. I type a text message and hit "send", there is no error message but the sms is never received. I have looked into settings, but cannot find anything to change. Does anybody else have the same problems?

Yes, I wonder when we'll see a chromebook on every desk. . .

iLuv iMM747 iPad speaker dock

Better iPad dock

I use a Yamaha PDX-50 wireless "dock" with my ipad, and it makes an excellent flexible system. It won the award for best iPod dock system in "What HiFi'" a couple of years ago and is available for about £100 now.

It uses a small transmitter that plugs into the dock connector. The iPad can then be used in landscape or portrait mode and the speaker box can be placed where you choose without taking up space next to the iPad.

It works superbly for me...

Consultants bag £37m from failed e-Borders contract

Not as bad as the bankers

If you think this comes anywhere near the banksters' bonuses, you haven't been paying attention. £37million is less than 0.1% of the annual banking bonuses paid in recent years. It's still a disgrace though.
