Where's the iTunes Movies and TV shows? + The state of HD
I feel like I’ve been wishing Apple to put some video content on iTunes UK for so long now. The thing engadget posted about apple changing their UK apple tv page to not show any tv shows or movies and simply pictures of peoples home movies made sense, is just dissapointing, and also makes me [...]
Xbox 360 Elite Released Officially
I really haven’t been into this Elite system since I heard about the price being $475. I just can’t see how Microsoft can justify a higher price for a console that’s been out for a year and has some pretty bad hardware faults as far as I can tell. I mean the fact that they [...]
PS3 release and Xbox 360 Elite
It’s felt like ages since the PS3 launched in the US and Japan but now it’s finally here in the UK and Europe. It’s actually widely available straight away and didn’t sell out. I think most people were predicting that to happen but you never can tell seeing as Sony have a great fan-base over [...]
Coherence in Parallels
People have been talking about the possibility of leopard allowing users not only to run windows on their mac but also be able to run windows apps directly within the mac desktop without even having to have windows open in a window. Well, if leopard doesn’t do this courtesy of Apple, it will courtesy or [...]
What's the point of tinyurl?
I wouldn’t have been able to really give a good answer to the question “What’s the point of tinyurl.com?” up until now, but if I am ever asked it (which I probably won’t), I’ll say: “To link to stuff in twitter posts!”. It’s true because my last couple of updates on twitter (posting on the [...]
RocketBeta
I’m really liking the new style of rocketboom. It’s gone all web 2.0 with user accounts (and profiles soon), the ability to vote (almost said digg) up or down comment or vote on stories, as well as submit stories for show inclusion consideration (which I think can also be voted on). I also really like [...]
PBWiki's new editor
I’ve been meaning to blog about this for a while but kept forgetting until now. PBWiki are a great company that provide free wiki services similar to those offered by wikia. However I think PBwiki is better for a few reasons. The first being that wikia uses the wikimedia engine which makes it obviously look [...]
Blogging from Mars
Now that MarsEdit has been taken over by red sweater software from newsgator and the guy who originally developed it I decided to give it a try. Up until now I’ve been either using flock which I stopped using for a while and just used the wordpress admin panel. I have the upgraded tiger style [...]
Does Home help the PS3?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRb-mCsHQ0c This week Sony announced Home, a virtual world that PS3 owners can connect to. It won’t be too unfamilar to you if you’ve ever visited second life but the graphics on Home seem to be significantly better, although controlling with a sixaxis is never going to be as good as a mouse (or even [...]
Virgin vs Sky part 2
Well the Sky channels are now gone from Virgin TV and no doubt they are losing a fair few customers because of it. Having the audacity to rename sky news sky snooze probably didn’t help because I’m sure there are a few peoplec who don’t appreciate their attempted humour. Personally I’m supporting Virgin but it [...]
