This Founder Went To Incredible Lengths To Deliver His Dream Of Food For Better Living; It Worked!

Sensing there was a gap in the London takeaway market for healthier, fresher, food, James Roy Poulter and his co-founders at Pronto have come up with a recipe for success; faster delivery, easier ordering, and just the right amount of choice. They have raised £1 million from London VC’s, and that may just be the beginning. I caught up with james last week to test the service out.

Pre-order the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact and get free headphones

The recently announced Sony Xperia Z5 Compact and its brethren are yet to start shipping, but pre-orders are already live. And even though the Compact is practically alone in its own special small-sized flagship niche, Sony is giving you another incentive to hurry up and order one today. Sadly, the offer is limited to a few European countries up north.

So if you live in Finland, Norway, Sweden or Denmark and pre-order an Xperia Z5 Compact now, you’ll also receive a pair of MDR-10RC headphones free of charge, a €110 value. The headset is a foldable over-the-ear design with 40mm drivers and has an impressive 5Hz-40kHz frequency response.

The offer is valid starting today and expires on October 4. The smartphone will be available in stores from September 29, so you could theoretically wait until then to go for a brief hands-on, then order your own and claim the headphones. Apparently, the Xperia Z5 and Z5 Premium are left out of the promo.

Samsung ‘Project Lucky’ hits Geekbench, a 3GB Galaxy S7?

Last week we saw the “Samsung Lucky LTE” pass through Geekbench, now “Samsung Project Lucky” has entered the arena. Surprisingly, these are not the same device – Project Lucky has 3GB of RAM and a higher CPU clock speed.

It’s the same Exynos 8890 chipset as in the Lucky LTE device, except that one has 4GB of RAM. Note that these are probably very early test versions of both the chipset and the software so the CPU clockspeeds might equalize later on.

The RAM amount is most likely fixed though, which feeds into the rumors of a two-tier Galaxy S7 launch – one with a 5.7″ screen (the premium option) and one with a 5.2″ screen. There was also some evidence of a Snapdragon 820 version of the Galaxy S7. Perhaps Samsung is still evaluating its options or it could be going back to a two chipset strategy as before.

Is Jellyfish The New Brain Food?

Prevagen is a jellyfish protein being aggressively marketed through a national TV advertising campaign as a supplement to “improve memory.” It doesn’t seem to improve memory or to be a dietary supplement, but so far its manufacturer has kept the FDA at bay. Is jellyfish protein the modern equivalent of snake oil?

What Does Waste Management’s Decision Not To Hire A CIO Suggest About The Future Of The Role?

For years, people have predicted the demise of the chief information officer role. First, it was because it was deemed to be a back-water support organization, and ironically of late it has been predicted because it has become so strategic to all parts of the enterprise that division and business unit leaders would simply take over the function. When Puneet Bhasin was promoted above the CIO role in earlier this year without a successor named, I was fascinated to see if this was a rare example of a company buying into the logic of the end of the CIO role. As it turns out, the decision is not so black-and-white.

They Were Quirky


They Were Quirky
In 2009, a start-up called Quirky built a community that really acted like, well, a community. It told the problem solver in all of us that she no longer had to innovate in a vacuum. Users would assess and workshop each other’s inventions. The most successful ideas, as determined by a vote, would be designed and built by the company. Some made a lot of money. But many, like the company itself, failed.
