Working in the tech sector I always get depressed at how cheap things become. Well, at least I no longer kid myself with the justification to buy something as “well, it can’t get any cheaper”. I had this in my inbox this morning: Yes, 2TBs of storage for less than £100 ! The depressing part […]

Sitting in bed at 3:36AM in San Jose browing Amazon. I realise that I want to purchase some music. I’m just about to order, thinking it’ll be at home waiting for me when I get back Sunday and I can rip it into iTunes. I then realise I might be able to get it on […]

So I watched the keynote live yesterday on the iPad after returning from Oxford. I had already indicated to people that I generally don’t buy first generation products that are new and novel as usually there are teething problems. That said, I did buy one of the first MacBook Air’s (happened to be in San […]

It never fails to amaze me just how poor the UK is in terms of Internet connectivity outside of the home or office. I usually laugh at all the comments about next generation gadgets as I know that deep down the network infrastructure we have for wireless is just so poor and unable to cope. […]

I often buy design magazines like Wallpaper really just to browse through- plenty of pictures to look at !

It’s funny, for sometime now I’ve been a bit bored with the tech scene. I guess it’s partly due to the economic situation that companies have been holding back releasing products. Then, like a bus a load of them come along at the same time and the wallet takes a hit. Working in the tech […]

..Spend like the Emarati’s.. (Google tells me that’s what you call people from Dubai). So far the trip has been good on the gadgets front (or bad on the wallet front). I always like to browse stores when I travel for techno gadgets. I also have a fascination (nice way of putting it) for stationery […]

Delicious Library available for the iPhone ! For anyone who hasn’t ever seen this application (Mac only) it’s a fantastic application written for Mac OS to allow you to catalogue all your media (Books, DVDs, etc.). The coolest thing is the input mechanism- it uses the iSight camera on the Mac to read the barcode […]

Rest assured I was already watching the keynote briefs. O2 tell me that the new iPhone will be available 19 June. I get back to the UK 20 June – guess where I’ll be visiting first ? I’m glad Apple have finally realised that 32GB is a sensible capacity (been messing around with playlists for […]
