My little Christmas present from Apple

Recently, my iBook’s bluetooth module and Sleep LED assembly decided that actually functioning was not worth the endeavour- so I took it along to the Apple store in Southampton. Unfortunately, the problems with my iBook were irreparable and as it was under Apple care; they gave me a new MacBook.
Moral of the story: get AppleCare […]

Friday: Leopard Launch Day

The BBC- a chance to revolutionise internet television or to pay Microsoft

The BBC appear to still be convinced that only windows XP users deserve the ability to watch television over the internet. This is in part due to their settling on Windows Media Video with DRM as the apt way for them to deliver this; it seems all the stranger that they’ve chosen this as the […]

Firstly, for all their claims of not being anti-mac bigots […]

My OSX powertools.

My Adium set up: as you can see this offers little clue as to who’s online apart from their avatar(display picture, buddy icon etc.) […]

That Mitchell and Webb ad

Mitchell and Webb have done the “I’m a mac, I’m a pc” adverts for British Television. David Mitchell is doing the part of the PC, which is slightly ironic as he always played the cool part in “That Mitchell and Web look” (Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit)
