The phones you’ll be upgrading to this year
Another month, another technology show. This time, it was the turn of the mobile industry to get up all in your grill, showing off their latest innovations and creations. I luvz it. Mobile World Congress is one of my favourite shows (Barcelona, phones, tapas - what’s not to like?) and -- thank god … [Read more...]
Facebook undergoes yet another redesign…
I’m sure you’ve noticed – Facebook has had another redesign. I’m beginning to wonder if we need to stage a KatiePriceAKAJordan-style surgery intervention, such is the number of times things have been whitened, tightened, and moved a bit right(ened). But I’m not here to cast judgement (even though … [Read more...]
So, what’s the dork opinion on the iPad?
You want to know, don’t you? You want to know which way to jump. Should you join the ‘OMG the iPad is RUBBISH! And it sounds like a SANITARY TOWEL!’ group, or go for the ‘OMG Apple have done it AGAIN! They have created something so excellent I wasn’t even aware I needed one UNTIL NOW!’ folks? Truth … [Read more...]

It’s been slightly more interesting, in terms of launches, than … [Read more...]
Dropbox: the find of 2009
Each year, you’re fate-bound to discover something life changing. It could be boys, it could be heather shimmer Rimmel lipstick, it could be JLS. For me, this year, it was Dropbox. I’m pretty sure that right now, if I was asked to choose between Daddy, chips and Dropbox, I would choose Dropbox (I … [Read more...]
Top events in December: Christmas and CES
It’s the end of December, and that means just one thing: the Consumer Electronics Show is nearly here. Oh, and Christmas. There’s no reason why you need be particularly bothered about either - last year CES was a load of companies sitting in a conference centre trying to reassure themselves that the … [Read more...]
There should be an app for that
As winter draws in, it strikes me that I'm no better set up against the cold dark nights than I was this time last year. And that's despite the launch of Spotify, the arrival of a new slimline PS3, and marked leaps being made in 3D TV technology in 2009. In short, technology doesn't seem to … [Read more...]
Five things that are better than vampires
You can’t open Google, turn on the telly or talk to certain people called Charles at the moment without being assaulted by vampires, actors who have played vampires falling out of sub-standard nightclubs, and interviews with people who have written about vampires. You can’t blame it on Halloween - … [Read more...]
