George Osborne: The cities of the North can rival London

New Statesman — One of the chairs in George Osborne's office has money on it. Not a lot of money - it looks to be about £2.30 - but the sight of it stops us before we sit down. "Must have fallen out of someone's pocket," says Osborne before, ever the taxman, he scoops up the coins and transfers them to a nearby table.

Are fitness trackers making you a hypochondriac, or is it Google?

Are fitness trackers making you a hypochondriac, or is it Google?

The Independent — Doctors are concerned that health apps and fitness trackers are creating more 'worried well' than ever before. But is that really the case? In recent weeks there has been a spate of articles arguing, as Dr Des Spence wrote in the BMJ, that health apps and fitness tracking devices such as the Fitbit and the Apple Watch are 'untested and unscientific', and that they could create "extreme anxiety" in a new generation of the "worried well".

CES: Wearables, 4K and the Internet of Everything

CES: Wearables, 4K and the Internet of Everything

The Independent — The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 may have been the most-wanted presents this Christmas, but PC gaming is hogging the headlines at CES. The world's most popular PC gaming service, Steam, has over 65 million active users and its parent company, Valve, has just announced partnerships with 14 companies to make Steam Machines - games consoles that bring PC gaming into the living room. The big attraction of Steam Machines is that they're open, upgradeable and flexible like a PC, but they have the plug-in-and-go convenience of a console. This could signify a major shift in the way games are played in the future.
