Apple’s new watch is currently being shipped to those who have pre-ordered the much anticipated device, so we will begin to see early adopters don the latest bit of tech wizardry this week. Admittedly we were initially sceptical of this gadget and what it could do for us, but now we are really looking forward to getting our hands on one. The first Apple Watch sales projections indicate it sold more on day one through pre-orders than Android Wear watches did in in all of 2014. New orders have been pushed back as far as July with arrivals in select Apple Stores beginning in June. Here we give you the down low on the product that will no doubt revolutionise wearable computing.

The concept of voice—your voice, the voice of those we care about, the degree to which we ARE our voice—is not something most people think about much.

It is taken for granted because voice, is something we experience all the time.

Yet our voice largely defines how others perceive us—both in certain circumstances where our emotion comes through, and also in the natural tone, quality and pitch of our normal speaking voice.  Have you ever thought you could tell what someone looked like from just speaking to them on the phone?  Or wondered what people think you look like from just hearing your voice?  You will be interested to know, your voice can tell quite a bit about you—even if just speaking to someone briefly, such as a sales person who calls your office phone line, or the supplier you have never met.

When we think of disasters, we think of typhoons sweeping small islands off the map and earthquakes devastating entire towns.  We think of droughts and epidemics, planes coming down and bombs going off—things worthy of the term ‘disaster’.

But these are hardly the disasters we are referring to when we talk about the hot topics of business continuity and disaster recovery. These disasters are much smaller events—and include circumstances that could happen to any business virtually any day of the week, with no warning.  These are the things that are actually likely to happen at some point over the course of the year, and in fact did happen in London last week. A fire in the underground Victorian tunnels in Holborn caused nearly 5000 people to be evacuated.  Businesses stopped, people walked out mid-email, halfway through phone conversations not even able to grab their jacket in some instances.  It took the London Fire Brigade 36 hours to put out the flames.
