Mind that vacuum cleaner, it's Tuesday housekeeping here at Tech Digest
Just a spot of housekeeping here on Tech Digest today, with a few new changes to our staff roll-call.
Firstly, our Editor In Chief, Stuart Dredge, has moved over to the green pastures of Pocket Gamer, a site dedicated to keeping you informed about mobile gaming. It appears the mobile gaming industry isn’t scared of him just yet, after he recently accused them of being sexist at the GDC!
I’ll be taking over the site as Editor, after close to a year of pouring Stu endless cups of coffee and picking up his drycleaning being Deputy Editor. You can reach me at [email protected].
The hugely-knowledgeable Dave Walker is still contributing to the site, in fact, as our new Contributing Editor. You can reach him here if you fancy swinging some compliments his way.
Staff writers still include…

Stuart Dredge writes…
The BBC has moved quickly to deny rumours that it’s planning to revive Tomorrow’s World, its science show that ran for 38 years before being mercifully put out of its misery in 2003.
Opinion: I want to watch NEW stuff on Joost, not just the same old TV shows
Stuart Dredge writes… Online TV firm Joost is doubtless proud of its deal with Viacom to stream new VH1 sitcom 'I Hate My 30s' ten days before it premieres on VH1's actual TV channel. And it's true that every deal…
How Zune music sharing SHOULD work
Stuart Dredge writes…
The killer app of Microsoft Zune was supposed to be its built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, which would let you merrily share music with other Zune owners, without fear of a big fat lawsuit from the music industry. And since iPod couldn’t do it, the feature seemed set to give Zune a real chance at toppling Apple’s market-dominating MP3 player.
Facebook’s growing pains: there’s my friends, and then my real friends…
Stuart Dredge writes…
What defines a Facebook friend? When I first joined up, it was easy: my first few friends were, well, friends. People I hang out with in the real world, when I’m not geeking out in front of a computer. It didn’t take long to decide that this was a neater way to all stay in touch digitally than our previous method (Yahoo Groups, since you ask).
CeBIT 2007: Just what is Commodore up to?
We've come a long way since the 8-bit days, that's for sure. One of the key stories from this year's CeBIT show so far has been the fact that Commodore is back with a vengeance. And happily, that doesn't just mean trading on the past glories of its C64 home computer, but is instead based on an entirely new generation of gadgets.
Why PlayStation Home for PS3 is a genius idea
Sony’s new PlayStation Home virtual world won’t address the issues that have resulted in pretty-much constant flak for its PS3 console in the last year. Criticisms of the console’s pricing and games line-up are both still valid, not to mention lingering resentment over the PS3’s delayed launch in Europe.
