Quite simply our main aim is to give back to the internet community with as much technology and support as we can dig up.</p> <p>We're currently massively busy readying a number of very exciting projects, pretty much entirely free to use, useful and most of them open source to boot. We're going to have lots of stuff to play with in our labs as well as we're constantly experimenting with new web based technologies.</p>  </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <ul> <li>All content and media © 2009 the m group unless otherwise stated</li> <li><a href="/web/20090418134601/http://m.pr/contact">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090418134601/http://m.pr/jobs">Jobs</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090418134601/http://m.pr/privacypolicy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090418134601/http://m.pr/userpolicy">User Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090418134601/http://m.pr/terms">Terms & Conditions</a></li> </ul> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
