Mr Fix-It: Sir James Dyson On The Problems That Can’t Be Solved

Sir James Dyson is many things. He’s a genius, an inventor, designer and a quintessential British gentleman. He’s renowned for pushing the boundaries of innovation and fixing things that never needed repair to innovate some of the coolest appliances on the planet.

Roman Coppola: “Everything is Now an App. It’s Disappointing”

Earlier this year Intel, along with W Hotels, put out a call to all budding screenwriters over the social networks to send in scripts for a set of short films.

Giz Meets the Guy Behind the People’s Mobile Network, GiffGaff

Powered and owned by O2, GiffGaff is an MVNO entirely unlike any other.
