Took a lovely trip to London the other day with Rach. After Oxford Street we went to Leicester Square and found this little café that does Italian food along with the most enormous ice cream creations! Take a look at the yummy photos.
After lunch we headed to the IMAX cinema down by Waterloo, something I’d heard a lot about but never seen for myself. The screen is just staggeringly huge (puts Stevenage’s cinema to shame!) although when the adverts were running they only took up a fraction of the whole screen and I thought we were in for a let-down. Not at all, I’m definitely going back there again!
That evening we took an ‘Eye flight’, as it’s called now. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been on the Eye but it’s still great fun. Luck was definitely on our side since the eye closes at 9 and we just bought our tickets and made it there in time, the last two people allowed on! I’d like to think we were let on because of my sweet smile but it was more likely the fact that we were running towards the queue looking desperate.
Here’s a few pics…
Did Engadget get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Have they gone to the wrong conference? I love their live coverage of the event but some of the comments this year are a little snide. Take a look:
And our LAST app [emphasis ours] comes from Digital Legends Entertainment…
ANOTHER medical app. This one by MIMvista. Someone, wake us when Steve’s back.
Forstall back, and another developer demo. Ugh.
Man, please let this string of demos end!
Man, these demos are crazy boring. Throw us a bone here Apple!
Okay, so everyone’s really waiting to see the new iPhone of course but please, Engadget, it’s almost as if it’s a conference for…developers. Sort of like the WorldWide Developers Conference, no? Of course there are going to be loads of app demos, that’s the idea. And as a developer, I like to see them!
This sort of commentary frustrates me, not because I’m an Apple fan but because it’s damaging to the credability of bloggers as a whole. I was hoping that people would have raised their game after the Gizmodo incident at CES yet these little jabs detract from the professionalism of a great news source.
