When I wrote this, I was thinking about: Apple, Browsers, FireFox, Safari, Web Technologies, Week of Safari 4.
I’ve been a FireFox fan for a long time, since well before the first v1.0 release in fact, and I’ve recommended it to friends and family at every opportunity. I loved it’s extendibility, it’s feature set, it’s usability and the fact it was freely available to anyone who wanted. More that that though, I loved [...]
Of all the weeks for the BBC to relaunch the weather section of their website, perhaps this wasn’t the best. A quick search of Twitter for the hashtag #uksnow will reveal the fact that there’s been a touch of snow falling in the UK this week. A quick search of any number of news sources [...]

When I wrote this, I was thinking about: Apple, MacWorld, Predictions, Technology.
It’s the run-up to MacWorld, which means it’s time for some predictions. So let’s get the obvious out of the way. 17 Inch Quad-Core MacBook Pro To me, this is the obvious choice. Intel have releases Quad Core Notebook processors, and Apple have yet to announce an update to the 17 Inch MacBook Pro (the [...]

When I wrote this, I was thinking about: Blogging, Web Technologies, WordPress.
Like millions of others, I’m a heavy user of WordPress. I run multiple blogs and am involved with many more. I’m also finding that the number of sites I visit daily that are powered by WordPress is growing rapidly. Everything from small one-man-band blogs to offshoots of major media outlets. But despite its success, there [...]

When I wrote this, I was thinking about: Adobe Air, bbc, BBC iPlayer, DRM, Media.
When the BBC initially launched the iPlayer, it was a Windows only service that used Windows DRM to baffle its users. At the time, the BBC stated, and then retracted, and then was forced into restating that a download version of the iPlayer would be available on OSX and Linux machines before the end of [...]

When I wrote this, I was thinking about: Evernote, Photography, Web Apps, Web Technologies.
Since I first discussed Evernote on this blog, it’s gone from strength to strength. With every release the guys and gals at Evernote improve their offering, matching the functionality of other note taking apps while adding the cherry on top of text recognition. But for me, the real strength of Evernote comes from the fact [...]

When I wrote this, I was thinking about: Google, iPhone, iPhone Apps.
You may have noticed that some of the tech blogs out there have been covering the botched launch of an update the Google’s iPhone application. It was initially supposed to launch last Friday, but was not available until today. The key new feature in this app is the ability to perform searches based on voice [...]
Mapping and Satellite Navigation features built into modern mobile phone such as the iPhone and the Nokia N96 have got Satellite Navigation manufacturers running scared. And with good reason. Why would you want to carry around a phone and a satellite navigation device? Point and shoot digital cameras are under similar pressures, with features such [...]

When I wrote this, I was thinking about: Apple, MacBook, MacBook Pro, Technology.
On the face of it, Apple’s recent laptop event was fairly straight forward. They refreshed the entire line-up of laptops and introduced a new Cinema Display. But dig a little deeper, and it’s obvious that much was said “between the lines”. We’re not the market, don’t punish us for their mistakes As is usual for [...]
I love Twitter, I do. Even though I took a while to “get it”, and then even longer to “like it”, I’m now a fan. I have, however, made a conscience effort to limit not only my presence (follow me) on Twitter, but also the number of people I follow. I believe that, just like [...]
