I’m heading off to the South By SouthWest conference in Austin, TX, specifically the interactive part of this fun event. You can get more information about SXSW at their official website – but basically, it’s a great chance to meet a ton of people and learn more about social media and other online general ‘cool [...]

When the Guru asked for help covering the Symbian Smartphone Show, I thought “Hey, I could do that!”. After all, I am lucky [...]
I’m heading out for a week long trip with Mrs. Guru tomorrow, which should be really relaxing. However, don’t think for a minute that my job stops – I’ll be playing with and working out how to use technology to enrich and enable my real life. I’ve got several different applications and services lined up [...]
What a way to celebrate the end of our Phontography Week here at Symbian-Guru than with the release of Nokia Photos v1.5 over at the Nokia Beta Labs. If you’ve been using Nokia Photos for a while, you’ll already know that this application is a great way to organize all of your photos – not [...]
