There are a few universal truths about Blogging. Firstly, many bloggers see blogging as a hobby, something to do in their spare time.

When I wrote this, I was thinking about: .
It seems as if nearly every home and business has a Wi-Fi connection these days, in fact, I can see seven at the moment from inside my house. But as Wi-Fi goes more and more mainstream, it is reaching people who may not be best equipped to set it up securely. So, in an attempt to […]
There’s been a bit of a fuss over Joost recently. The reason? Well they’ve done something many people have said should have been done. They’ve given us TV over the Internet. So is this the start of something big, or just a toy? I’ve been playing around with it for a few days with the […]

The Microsoft Zune portable media player hasn’t hit the UK yet but already one of its most advertised features, wireless music sharing, has been shown to be Defective by Design.
