Sam Hamilton

Had a great day at the F1 yesterday, we managed to get covered seating which was a godsend as the rain was relentless

• Shanghai results
• Chinese GP photos
• More photos

Oh yes from where we were sitting we saw this crash happen - mental!

Great qualifying today - watched it on TV rather than go to the track as I had other things to do (some website launch going on), looking forward to tomorrow, the minibus is coming at 11am even though start is not till 3pm.

• Button surprised by Red Bull pace
• Chinese GP qualifying photos
• Vettel on shock pole for Red Bull

Nothing like a moving target, eBay updates the rules of the game again

• Third-party checkouts changing, not banned
• Third-party checkout / checkout redirect clarification from ChannelAdvisor
• eBay UK’s big announcement: mandatory free P&P expanded, easier returns

We use Channel Advisor to handle our checkout systems for eBay customers and any changes to this are concerning as they probably would have a negative impact on sales, if eBay really wants to reduce the use of checkouts then they better make sure it does not affect sales!

This weekend I am heading off to watch the Shanghai F1 and oh what an interesting build up there has been:

• McLaren’s Dennis quits Formula 1
• Ferrari abandon KERS for China GP
• Renault & McLaren change diffuser

and finally

• Formula 1 circuit guides - 2009

I cant remember the last time I saw a red flag, and the race be abandoned its been awhile. Button wins the race but with only 1/2 the points, Massa is feeling cold about the season. Hamilton is still in hot water but here are the photos just in case you missed the race.

Its either McLaren or Lewis Hamilton who have a death wish, you start the first race of the season with a crap car, drive your heart out, get 4th then go and lie about what happened on the track knowing full well that the FIA can listen to your radio chatter to the pit wall. They are stark raving mad.

They went an introduced anti-piracy laws, how mad is that. If they did the same thing in China like banning MP3 search and download can you image what the traffic drop would be? Boggles my mind.

There is zero point in me rewriting the great Cnet article so instead I will borrow their picture in return for a link to their site.

It seems that one way or another everything is coming to an iPhone, good job I just got a 3G one then. Slingbox are bringing out a player for iPhone - this is dreadful news as now I feel the need to purchase a slingbox, place it in my Mum’s house in the UK and then stream random crap British TV half way rounds the world.

Just thought I would share this great movie poster for the upcoming “The Girlfriend Experience”
