By Magnus Alm, CMO, Palringo There are more than 1,000,000 apps in the App Store and the same goes for Google PLAY. Needless to say, there is a discoverability issue for developers. A few lucky ones are able to get that global hit which turns into a viral phenomenon, such as Flappy Bird. But what about the rest? Millions, if not billions, of funds are invested into developing mobile games each year. There is good reason for that. Apple...

By Fiona Kirk In addition to ensuring that our diet is bursting with goodness and we factor regular exercise into our ever-more-hectic lifestyles to give us the best possible opportunity of living a long and healthy life, is our vitamin D status another challenge we have to take on board? ‘Fraid so! It is estimated that somewhere between 30% and 100% of us are deficient, globally; it largely depends on your age, where you live, how much sunshine you get...

From Neon Nettle  Have you ever wondered what a private party with 50 Cent might cost, or perhaps a bash with Bruce Springsteen? A leaked list from a popular booking agency has revealed artist rates suggested by agents per-show, with acts from $1,000 to over $1 million a gig exposed.

Workplace stress is an increasingly prevalent and serious issue that eats away at profits, dramatically reduces efficiency and makes good staff hand in their notice, something most employers are no doubt familiar with.

By  Scott Laidler @Scott_Laidler One of the most common mistakes people make in the gym is losing momentum just as they start to see progress. A big reason for this is that, as we start to achieve our goals, we also start to get complacent. We stop thinking about how far we are away from our final destination and begin to rationalise that, even if we only saw a little more progress from our current point, it wouldn't be the...

By Bradley Allsop     The fact that my newsfeed and television screen are increasingly taken up by Nigel Farage’s smiling, smug face enrages me for so many reasons. Perhaps the biggest reason though, is that he’s parading himself as a panacea for societal woes, when really he’s just another facet of the problem, cut from the same mould as the rest of the political elite, albeit with a bit of added venom.

By Sophie Turton Assistant Web Editor for the online accountants Crunch “Prague never lets you go...this dear little mother has sharp claws” - Franz Kafka.  Prague is a delicious, debaucherous, delightful city. A city of spires and fairy tales and fancies, so there really is little wonder why few tourists venture far from its beautiful castles and cheap pivovars.

 By James Mackney There is a snobbery surrounding television but I am going to categorically state that it is not the unwanted sibling or the distant relative of cinema; it is its own progressive and challenging medium. As Mad Men’s first half of its final season draws to a close it finally reaches the moon.
