Apple Store Oddity – They don't want my money!

I was browsing the Apple UK store today, trying to decide whether it’s actually time to put my money into a new MacBook Pro, and I noticed something very strange. And it’s strange on two levels, multiple layers of strangeness even. I’m talking about the page you arrive at having selected to purchase a MacBook […]

Answering the iPod Nano Screenshot Question

When I posted about the different images of iPod Nanos on the UK and US stores a few days ago something major completely flew over my head. I made the point in the post that Apple were showing the US version of The Office on the screens for the UK store but something different on […]

Why are US and UK iPod Images Different?

While writing my post on the outrageous price differences us UKers have been subjected to for the honour of buying the new iPods, I noticed something peculiar. The images used in the UK and US versions of the Apple online store different. And when I say different, I really mean different. While it’s common place […]

New iPods – UK Prices and Release Dates

Apple announced today that the entire iPod line has been updated. The changes range from the minor, to the overhaul, to the completely new. So whilst those over in the states are chatting about the new toys on their iPhones (I swear I’m not bitter), what are us limeys to do? Well, we can look […]

5 Essential OSX Blogging Tools

5 Ways to Improve the iPlayer

I wrote up a review on the BBC’s iPlayer a few days ago. I admit that I took a fairly negative standpoint, but didn’t provide any real suggestions for improvement. At this point I’d also like to point out that I admire the BBC for what they are attempting, the UK has been behind the […]

Skitch Invites Available

I’ve been lucky enough to score a couple of invites to the much sought after Skitch Beta. For those of you not in the know, Skitch is a fairly simplistic image capture and editing application. The unique selling point of skitch is it’s tight integration with web services. You get some free image hositng at […]

BBC iPlayer – Review

A few days ago the BBC’s much discussed iPlayer went live to a beta audience. For now, I’ll stay away from the controversy the iPlayer has caused (and the irony that the “iPlayer” won’t work on an “iPod”, “iBook” or “iMac”, despite Apple popularising the “i” moniker) and just concentrate on the service itself.
