It’s going to be a difficult problem for Santa. In a world where content has become virtual, how do you gift video or music album ? More and more gifts are going to be made up of bits and bytes, but unless it comes in nice packaging, it really doesn’t seem like a gif at all.

The number of companies re-transmitting the UK’s main TV channels is growing. Swiss firm Zattoo has used obscure old laws designed to enable national broadcast feeds to be re-transmitted to reach Welsh vallies to offer an online proximity of Freeview.
Now TVcatchup.com is back, essentially mimicking this service.
The broadcasters must be keeping a beady eye – the BBC in case their service is commercialised and the commercial channels in case they are loosing ad revenue. In both cases, I suspect that there may be trouble ahead.

Here are some signs that a recession is happening:
- You no longer get run over by motorcycle couriers in the streets of London

- Getting through security at an airport takes under an hour
- You can find a black cab in London

The news that the BBC is moving more of its production outside of London is welcome, but does anyone else see the irony in the fact in the following announcement:
“‘Question Time and arts programmes Imagine and
Newsnight Review will move to the
BBC’s new centre in Glasgow.
