The Oscars 2010 had something new to add to the usual media frenzy, glamorous dresses and A-list celebrities: an iPad advert. Yep, Apple opted to get the mainstream iPad marketing campaign well and truly off the ground by debuting the iPad TV advert during the 82nd Academy Awards. If there …

If you look past the inevitable consumer lust for anything new and Apple shaped, does the iPad actually live up to the hype? I've already made my own feelings on why [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story255990.html"]the iPad will be no game changer[/URL] (at least not in version one form) quite clear, although the chances …

I am working on a computer that has the base amt of system requirements to make the Blu-ray SATA drive to function. The only problem is, it will not show in My Computer on the Windows XP Home Ed. P.C. I tried changing jumper positions and cable positioning, flip-flopped from …

First let's get something out of the way - I love the iPad. Every other blogger has shared their opinion so for me it's the eReader that does about ten times as much for only 150 per cent of the price. It's also the first games platform that's going to …

We've been hearing about an Apple Tablet for such a long time now, it feels like it should exist, yet it doesn't. With each Apple event, the rumors are so vivid, we actually believe them. Then the announcement comes, the shiny new ipods and Mac Books and other equipment are …

This has to be the most bizarre excuse for voiding a warranty ever, but according to [URL="http://consumerist.com/5408885/smoking-near-apple-computers-creates-biohazard-voids-warranty"]The Consumerist[/URL] at least two Mac owners have been told their Applecare warranties are no good because they smoke. In both cases, we are told, the Mac owner concerned took the matter up with …

Pretty much anywhere you live, it would appear that the iPhone consumes at least 50% of all mobile data traffic. Whereas the Android has a little catching up to do with just 11% of that mobile data bandwidth consumption. Of course, the iPhone entered the restaurant first and is already …

At a time when prices are being driven down across the spectrum of electronics, one company clearly has avoided this trap: Apple. While others struggle to squeeze profits from a market that is becoming increasingly commoditized (sub-$200 netbooks anyone?), Apple maintains its edge and its hefty profit margin. It got …

Apple may have delayed the release of the tablet computer, according to a number of sources, because of component selection. Inevitably this has led to a number of reports that it's not going to happen after all; one website in particular believes [URL="http://http://www.pcworld.com/article/182571/the_apple_tablet_is_dead.html?tk=rss_main"]the whole thing was a result of our …

One of the great things about the iPhone is of course the App Store, which is a growing eco system of interesting applications. I tend to stick to the free ones, and not long ago I went and downloaded a bunch of new freebies. These are my favorites from that …

An Apple iPhone virus is on the loose in Australia. According to reports it's an odd one; it replaces your wallpaper with a picture of singer Rick Astley and an inoffensive slogan. It affects only jailbroken phones, in other words phones whose owners have fiddled with the operating system to …

What do you wake up to? An old-fashioned alarm clock with small hammer and large bells atop a round clockface? Maybe a clock-radio or perhaps a straightforward digital alarm with a loud beep-beep-beep to get you moving of a morning? If you do, then you are in the minority as …

Does it seem to you that Linux distributions have fallen into to a [I]well[/I] or other deep support chasm that defies the space-time continuum? It seems so to me. Linux distributions are lagging behind Windows and Mac in significant ways. Well, it doesn't work for this chipset. Well, it works …

Why so much fuss about the [URL="http://9to5mac.com/iPhone-fm-app"]rumour[/URL] that Apple is developing an in house app to bring FM radio to the iPhone? Sure, the fact that (assuming the rumour is true) this will be a native application that can run in the background just like the iPod app does on …

CoPilot Live 8 Mobile Navigation on the iPhone has been a runaway success at the App Store, consistently keeping ahead of its TomTom rival in the 'top grossing' app charts at least in the UK Store. It arrived first and costs half as much as the TomTom app, but is …

I have to say that I really hate the term "fan boy." It's usually used as a dismissive term to put down someone who speaks favorably of a product. It suggests that if you like a particular brand, it must mean that you blindly support everything that company does, and …
