Flock breaks out some cool new features
I just had a look at a Flock testing build, something I havn’t done since Flock released their first beta (0.7). I really like where Flock is going now. They are incorporating the concept of people into the browser so instead of one topbar for photos, you now have a sidebar for almost all the [...]
You thought the DS just played games?
I know a lot of people know about the DS browser add-on. It’s a nice addition to the DS for the times where a laptop isn’t ideal. However, I’m not talking about that. Nintendo are now close to launching a DS mp3 player in europe. Actually it’s not a DS addition only because it uses [...]
From the people who brought you the Xbox box….
I guess it’s really inevitable this would happen but some eBay seller has sold for $900 an item called 3 Sony Playstation Systems. Now the person who bought it has 0 feedback and the name is a number so my guess is it was someone who is trying to take a bullet for someone else [...]
T-17 days to UK Wii launch, guy breaks TV with wiimote
Now that the US launch parties for the Wii and PS3 have come and gone, the focus turns to first the Japanese Wii launch, then finally the UK launch on December the 8th. Judging by the US launch, the Wii will be well recieved over here, possibly better due to the fact that Sony aren’t [...]
T-7 hours to Wii launch
In 7 short hours from now, the Wii will launch in the US. I hope it does well against the PS3 and Xbox in the run-up to Christmas and the same goes when it launches over here on December the 8th, minus the PS3 for competition for another few months. I’m feeling confident about Nintendo’s [...]

Apple will launch the mobile handsets in the first half of next year, the newspaper said, without providing financial details [...]
Watch movies on your iPod and fly
Unfortunatly the iPod doesn’t yet allow people to fly by holding it but Apple have done the next best thing in my view. Starting some time mid next year, you will be able to hook up your iPod video to a connector next to the seat when you’re flying with one of 6 airlines. This [...]
The console war heats up (again)
I don’t believe anyone who says they havn’t heard anything about the upcoming reheating of the console war with the imminant launch of the PS3 (although not here) and Wii in the US a month before the UK. Both US launches will be within two days of each other. PS3 first on the 17th, very [...]
Disco Take 2
I’m a little slow out of the blocks on this but Disco released their second public beta yesterday. I really like the additions they have made to the app in the short space of time since the first beta a week ago. They have added highly requested features such as the ability to drag items [...]
New MacBooks out now
With a Core 2 Duo 64bit chip it’s looking good, and, according to Apple, 25% better in performance. I’m a little sceptical of this as the MacBook pro has been clocked at around 19% percent faster instead of Apple’s quoted 39%. Nevertheless, I’m a big fan of this computer, and I’m only basing this on [...]
