  • It would appear, from this Reg article, that the iPhone-omenon that swept the US earlier this year is not translating similarly across this side of the pond. I have to say that I’m not totally surprised by that news. Any uber-geek that really wanted an iPhone before it was released recently in the UK probably…

  • I’ve had a Maxtor 300GB NAS drive for a few years now, serving as a back-up solution and also a samba share for my digital music files and videos. I recently saw somebody else’s NAS solution, a DLink DNS-323 with RAID options for the two drives that it holds it also boasted an iTunes server…

  • A few days ago I was very happy to finally return to using Safari as my main browser on OSX. A few days on there are still things that are upsetting me about it and which I wish Apple would fix as it has to be simple enough to do so. My first bugbear is…

  • … or is their latest patent just a wind-up? According to this article in the Reg’s Hardware site, Nokia have lodged a patent for a device that looks somewhat similar to the famed Sidekick communicator that every celebrity under the sun has. However, the laterally sliding screen on this device is slipped into one of…

  • Just noticed by accident that Google Docs now works in Safari on the Mac, or at least in version 3 of Safari. I know that it didn’t work in version 2 up until a few weeks back but can anyone still running v2 confirm this? Safari 3 is really matching up to what I want…

  • Tongue in cheek article from The Reg with “backing” from the IMF as to how technology is the cause of all inequality in society and how we must dismantle this war machine if we are ever to restore equitable living and harmony. ๐Ÿ˜‰ source: The Register

  • I recently acquired an iPod Touch and I was over the moon to say the least, with my new toy. Sadly after 4 days of very light usage and I mean light because I haven’t had much opportunity to play with it, the screen has gone all funny. There are plenty of stories out there…

  • Just over a week ago I celebrated that annual cusp again, my birthday. Little did I know on that day that the goddess of all that are nerdish gizmo gifts (i.e. Siรขn) would have pre-ordered an 16GB iPod Touch for me. It arrived yesterday and I have to say that I am simply blown away…

  • Google Presentations

    Google has just added its much awaited Presentations to its current offering of Docs & Spreadsheets. I read this announcement on the Google blog earlier and just gave it a whirl. First impressions, yes, I’m impressed. Obvious omissions are a big selection of templates and slide transitions but additional features such as webcasting your presentation…
