The warm and reassuring embrace of a weekend spent lazily languishing around the house with friends or family is now behind you and all that you can see for the week ahead is a busy appointment book and not enough hours in the day.
But don’t worry. Before dealing with the stresses and strains of Monday, it’s time to make a coffee, put your feet up (metaphorically, at least) and catch up on all the tech news that happened over the last two days. You owe yourself that, at least.
