Virgin vs Sky
We have Virgin Media (formerly NTL) and I think it’s great. The broadband is always on and the TV isn’t bad. I don’t watch it much but if I did I really like the direction VM is taking right now with VOD and content deals with US providers. The problem at the moment revolves around [...]
Only 17.8?
If you’re a subscriber to engadget or follow gaming news online at various indie blogs / news sites like digg, you will probably have seen the below graph. It shows the power usage of all three gaming systems and an average pc (pc’s vary quite a lot). Simply put the Wii destroys everyone else. The [...]
Apple and Cisco Settle on iPhone(s)
I’m glad that they’ve come to an agreement that finally makes the Apple iPhone name totally secure and in the past. These are two companies I’m a fan of so to see them disagree so publically over the name wasn’t what I was hoping for. Since I and pretty much everyone else was shocked that [...]
SNES outselling PS3, nevermind PS2 or Wii, Console War Thoughts…
It seems like I have to mention I’m not a fanboy before most of my posts recently, namely nintendo and apple ones, but anyway, I’d just like to mention I have a PS2 before I get started. I’m just pretty shocked by the fact that on Amazon.com, pre-owned snes’s were outselling both the PS3 premium [...]
Some new smartphones released
I’m liking some of the new stuff released today by RIM and others. The new BlackBerry 8800 looks really nice. Although I wouldn’t buy one over an iPhone because it lacks a lot of the stuff I want, it’s still easily the best looking full qwerty keyboard equipped blackberry so far, learning from the pearl [...]
Steve and Apple pushing for DRM free music
In this column on Apple.com Steve Jobs makes it abundantly clear than he and Apple would openly welcome the abolishing of DRM in favour of completely DRM free music on iTunes and everywhere else. He is sending a very strong message to the music labels and is really putting Apple in a great position. Surely [...]
Well I did say maybe tomorrow
Well that was interesting. After predicting that you never know what will happen with Apple, they go and do almost what I speculated about. They didn’t announce The Beatles on iTunes, but what they did announce effectively confirms this. Apple Inc have aquired all the rights to the name Apple. They are leasing the Apple [...]
No Apple announcment?
There wasn’t an Apple ad at the super bowl but I’m still being cautious because you never know what might be on Apple.com in the morning. Anyway, I wathed parts of the super bowl and I have to say it’s pretty exciting. Knowing nothing about American Football put me in the same position I was [...]
