I’m on a train on my way to London and the guy sat next to me pulled out a MacBook when he sat down and I grinned to myself in the tragic way I do when I see people with Apple kit. Then he opened it and there was Windows XP! I’m still not entirely […]

From today the About Apple section is now obsolete. As I now work for Apple I had to sign a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure agreement with them so I am no longer allowed to post anything online about Apple, postive or otherwise. It’s a shame but the pros of working for them look likely […]

Last week I wanted to buy an album by Portishead called “Dummy”. I loaded up iTunes and found it in the music store. It was £7.90 for ten tracks. Then I looked on CDWOW and found it for £6.99 for the same ten tracks, plus the actual CD with case and inlays, […]

After seeing this post on MacMinute. I had to have a look at Delicious Library. Until now I have been using Chronopath Library which is okay but tends to be incredibly slow when switching between libraries and is generally unintuitive.

I’ve just finished watching the stream of the keynote from Apple Expo in Paris. Tiger (the new OS) looks like it’s going to be pretty impressive, the new search tool spotlight looks good but I’m quite anal with my filing so I normally know where my files are. The thing that really appealed […]

I got my software from Amazon today, I got Route Britain 2004. I’m quite impressed with it so far. It doesn’t do voice directions but it displays a huge map with a route drawn on it so it should be okay to use in the car. I’m not sure of the legality […]

Maybe Apple are worried they’re not going to make enough from ITMS and have turned to desperate measures….

I just spent 79p downloading Phat Planet by Leftfield (the music from “that” Guinness advert). The iTunes Music Store is now available in Germany, France and the UK. It’s quite good but a bit slower than the US one was although it’s fair to assume that’s due to heavy traffic on the first […]
