0100 GMT while updating one of my websites , my house shook gently for five to 10 seconds with a short spell of significant vibration. The wardrobe doors banged during this period, which subsided to another five to 10 seconds and then peace again. I switched on the lights and came out on the street to see almost all of my neighbours standing outside their homes and wandering about on what just happened as alarms were going off.
Earthquake - my first experience since we never have them in mauritius ; I dont know about the magnitude neither of the epicentre but i presume it should be somewhere in the midlands.
Was it was the biggest earthquake to hit England since 1990 ?

I get the feeling that the iPhone is like most other Apple products; Elitist to the core, overly easy-to-use, and lacking in features that have become standard or trend but nevertheless Apple feels they don’t need. I guess also that I’m a bit biased, as I own an N95, and it has it’s bad points, just like all phones. The lack of a replacable battery in the IPhone is, however, incredibly worrying. With the N95, it’s battery isn’t wonderful, but if it runs out, you can carry a spare, and replace it within seconds. But an embedded battery would be very annoying. Not to mention downright dangerous if there were to be an emergency and your battery were to run out. OSX is pretty cool, and probably better than a Windows-enabled smartphone and probably much better than Symbian. But then again, is the iPhone’s OS open-ended? Also, touch screens aren’t for everyone , the lack of tactile buttons may limit what you can do with what you’ve got, but I for one can’t stand touch screens, even multi-touch can’t give you a decent feel for what you’re pressing. I guess both have their ups and downs. The N95 is a great phone, not expensive compared to IPhone, and with a weak OS. The iPhone on the other hand, is properly revolutionary, as most Apple products are. But lack of important features such as an expandable memory and even MMS support will make it a hard sell for those who it’s most aimed at - the young and hip. No upgrade to IPhone for me yet since the N95 seems to have better features especially video recording.
