Spidey 3 trailer already

The good news is it looks great. The bad news is the above, May 2007. 11 months away for more than a minute of it. I can understand that with all the CG that goes into making the spiderman films but you still wonder how much more they have to do if they have enough [...]

Wimbledon Starts

It starts today and after weeks of great weather it rains on the first monday of the tournament. Pretty typical. When the weather does get better as it looks like it will it promices to be a great championship this year. Wimbledon plus The World Cup makes a great sporting summer.

More Xbox Controller Issues

Like many baby boomers, even Xbox chief Peter Moore is getting a little confused by all the buttons and joysticks being crammed onto modern gamepads, and some recent comments he made may indicate that Microsoft is actually working on ways to dumb-down the increasingly complex controller. In an interview with Gamertag radio, Moore seemingly put [...]

Shiny new Last.fm

The new Last.fm Beta (currently subscriber only) looks shiny and new. It comes in a choice of….. Classic red…… …..and sleek black. Both look great, the new layout and style is impressive even though it probably was overdue. Theres a new Audioscrobbler beta out too but currently windows only. Hopefully a Mac version is on [...]

Flocktails For Cardinal

The Flock extension Flocktails (provides hCard recognition to Flock) is now available for the beta release of the social browser. It’s quite a useful extension on pages with loads of info on. Plus having open standards for this sort of information is a useful thing anyway. Get an hCard here. Too bad you can’t get [...]

Messing with QuickSilver

I’ve spent some time today just figuring out all the features of QuickSilver and setting it up just how I want it. Check out the below screen as well as the other ones in the set for the coolest way to browse your iTunes library and play tracks. Is that not cool? Rating: 9/10 – [...]

Numero UNO

A review of UNO, the Mac OSX skinning app UNO is a very nice skinning app. There are a few plus points to it. Let me highlight them quickly. It makes Finder, iTunes, Firefox etc look much nicer. Unlike Window’s chief skinning app, Windowblinds, the free version (there is no paid version unlike windowblinds) doesn’t [...]

Opera 9 Review

Opera 9 has just been released. I have to admit, I have never liked opera up until now. Before it had adverts from google making the whole thing look uncool. Not only that but it had a bad, “classic” interface and colour scheme. The new version however, has some really nice features. Most of them [...]

Universal Nvu

Where is it? I have been looking for an open source alternative to Dreamweaver recently and I found nvu. Yes, its got big shoes to fill if it’s going to compete with Macromedia / Adobe. However, from what I’ve seen of it so far from screenshots it does compete well. The one problem I have [...]

Stadium Arcadium

Great album. Tons of tracks and addictiveness. Dani California is my favourite but maybe thats because its at the top and I keep playing it?
