So I watched the Apple keynote yesterday. I was worried that after my recent MB Pro purchase they’d re-spin the hardware. Okay, they did bump the speed of the high end model to 2.8GHz, but it was build-to-order option so I wouldn’t have gotten it anyway. In short, I still have the latest technology ! […]
I’ve failed big time. Why why why didn’t I bring a Mac. My inventory of tech: * Blackberry – faithful companion. Always seems to work regardless. Example of something designed for a simple purpose (calls and corporate e-mail) that always works. Oh, apart from the bug that shows text messages coming from the wrong people […]
[Warning: poor quality pics due to impatience to get device up and running] I seem to have this obsession with Apple products. I think it’s the whole male ‘hunter gatherer’ thing translated to tech. When something is announced, I rarely pre-order it. Instead I wait for it to come into stores. The down side is […]
I’ve been looking for a speakerphone for my office at home for some time. I’d considered one from Polycom as I know they are good, but they are pretty ugly. So, I was happy when I finally discovered the perfect thing from B&O. First the normal handset: Clever design with the ability to change the […]
It’s funny to look back over the past years and see how technology has changed things. I feel really old when I recall the first time someone showed me ‘the web’, but then I realise that the innovations aren’t that old, it’s just that tech changes at a very very rapid pace. I often have […]
There used to be a series of ads around the theme “Carlsberg don’t do ‘x’ but if they did it would be the finest in the world”. Well, one of Apple’s latest products (which is a little different from their normal product offering) has made me realise that there should be a phrase “What if […]
Sitting at my writing (not computer) desk tonight whilst sketching some slides for work made realise how visually appealing Apple products are. In this case, my MacBook Air randomly placed besides a recent purchase I’ve yet to properly setup and so on my desk (Mac Mini Server). Having OCD when it comes to look and […]
My new term for people in meetings who sit with an iPad surfing away. It used to be email on a Blackberry or Internet Explorer. Now it’s the iPad…
I bought a Sony eReader a while ago in the US (at the time the Amazon Kindle wasn’t available for the UK). I blogged before about it being a complete messy experience getting the content on the device. Getting iBooks running on the iPad on the other hand was a complete dream. As you’d expect, […]
Sorry, yet another rant about mobile connectivity. I really struggle to see why anyone would buy a 3G capable iPad in the UK. The possibilities for such a gadget are immense. However, I just can’t see how you’d have a usable experience in the UK with the poor quality of 3G provision. Take today- simple […]
