Yesterday afternoon the internet was buzzing with details of the launch of Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series in Barcelona. Only it wasn’t really a launch, it was more a demonstration of a preview version of the platform. It’s predecessor was only launched last autumn, and this pretty well complete rewrite of the Microsoft mobile phone [...]

Today was the eighth annual(ish) gathering of four hundred of the Microsoft Development community for a day of free technical training. Once again it was spectacularly over subscribed – sold out faster than Glastonbury (all the places went within fifteen minutes) and with no Microsoft speakers had the usual mix of sessions, some of which [...]

This morning, Robert Scoble, who is currently at LeWeb in Paris published this picture to his Flickr stream.
It is a shot taken by him of the audience, and is the answer to a simple request, for people to hold up their iPhone – just take a look at the full sized shot and count quite [...]

Over the past year or so Garmin have finally started to provide software for the Mac. One of those new pieces of software, currently in beta is BaseCamp, a tool that works with various of the Garmin topographic mapping products giving a three-dimensional view of the mapping data, similar to the view that their latest [...]

This one is definitely a post in the category of primarily being a reminder for future me in case an annoying problem reoccurs, but I guess it may be useful for anyone else struggling with a similar issue.
A couple of days ago I plugged my iPhone into the Mac to synchronise it using iTunes, and [...]

Last month, Microsoft launched a campaign called “I’m a PC” directly targeting the well known Apple “I’m a Mac” campaign, with a number of big name celebrities endorsing the PC.
Now we get to see the first salvo in the response from Apple, not a new campaign, not even an attempt to out celeb the competition, [...]

Last night we had the kind of problem that most computer users dread, the un-bootable computer. Beth had used the iMac earlier in the day without any problems, but when I tried to start the machine up, it stalled during the start-up process.
The next stage when you’ve got any sort of Mac problem related to [...]

Microsoft are in a strange position. Despite still producing the operating system that holds the dominant position in the market, still producing the office platform that holds the dominant position in the market, and still producing the dominant web browser, they are seen as being under threat. The reason? Their share of the market held [...]

I’m just coming to the end of my first week with an iPhone 3G. Unlike some I didn’t sample the whole queuing and activation chaos last Friday. I managed to get one of the limited stocks that O2 had available online last Monday by getting in within the first hour before they had all sold [...]

One of the favourite descriptions of the UK, especially amongst it’s inhabitants, is Rip-Off Britain, indeed there is even an entire website devoted to the subject. Whilst there are loads of things that cost more in this country, hence why we quite often go shopping when we visit Canada, it is not everything that is [...]

I was actually on iTunes trying to find if the Church of England were repeating their podcasting of the General Synod again – unfortunately not, they seem to have decided that making the proceedings available for download in a PC only format is better this year, hard luck for those of us using Mac’s!
Anyway, what [...]

Depending on what platform and browser you’re using, you may be looking at this post thinking that I’ve gone totally nuts and posted the same picture twice…
I haven’t.
What you’ll see depends on which platform and browser combination you are using. Anybody using a PC or Mac running an out-of-the-box install of Firefox or a PC [...]

Amongst the sites I’ve been using on my iPod Touch quite frequently has been Yahoo! Go Flickr, a nice AJAX interface to Flickr that is distinctly superior to the normal Flickr mobile site, and nicely formatted for the portrait screen on the iPod. However when I tried to access it a couple of days ago, [...]
