    Small hotspots appear where people leave companies, start their own and don't want to move. Guildford is such a place for games in the UK. Yes, it's not too far from London but it'…

    Whilst a free press is important, I would argue that 'a man and a woman have been held in connection with the Gatwick Airport drone incident' would suffice. Kudos to the BBC for re…

    I feel I'm the only person in the universe that's never had an issue with the keyboard, and actively likes it (I don't like much key travel, but I do like clicky keyboards)
