I don’t usually do a lot of hardware reviews on this site, as much as I would like to, at least, so here’s one of my latest acquisitions. It was sitting there in the store window as I went to purchase my Apple Magic Mouse (which I sold again the day after for half the … Read more →
Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, turned 55 yesterday. Happy Birthday, Steve!

Take a good look at the graph to the right (click it to enlarge). Go back to the summer of 2009 and Twitter had 10 million tweets a day. Fast forward to January 2010 and they’re at 50 million tweets per day. That’s a lot of tweets and a new milestone just reached by Twitter. … Read more →
It took me long enough, but I finally got the Apple Magic Mouse. My precious.

This is a brand new eBook, just released. Written by my good friend over at BlogInTheBag.com – and because I’m lucky enough to know him, I was allowed to read and review it, before it was released, which is why I’m very excited to finally be able to tell you about it, now that it’s … Read more →
