In a surprise (to me) move, o2 have announced a major shift in their tariffs, including a significant change to their iPhone charges. This is great news for customers, as the inclusive minute and text allowances have generally been significantly increased. Being on the £45/mo tariff, I gain the least; I only get double the inclusive minutes… Read more »

MacWorld expo ’08 thoughts, part 1: MacBook Air
Of all the announcements this year, this one is definitely the biggie (although arguably, not the most significant — the AppleTV could easily trump it in long-term industry impact.) Apple’s new ultraportable was the announcement everyone was waiting for, and it’s generated the most media buzz, most of it positive. There’s no denying the machine… Read more »
Great timing, NewsGator
Just before Christmas, I switched my news aggregator from Bloglines to NewsGator, largely because their iPhone client is better. Being a Mac user, I also grabbed their famous OSX client, NetNewsWire. In all it’s been a very satisfactory switch; NewsGator for iPhone works great for checking my feeds on the train (which was the main driver for my getting the… Read more »
Apple tablet a reality?
Rumours about an Apple “tablet-PC” have been pretty pervasive for the past few years, so I always take them with a pinch of salt, but this one sounds almost credible. I actually don’t know if I want this to be true or not; one the one hand, I’m certain Apple wouldn’t release it unless it… Read more »
A map of the Internet
You remember that map of the internet that xkcd did a while back — the ip4 address space one, not the social networking one? Well, someone’s extended the idea with a full map of every ip4 address, and who owns it. The implementation is still lacking a little polish, but it’s a great idea and… Read more »
iPhone open for third-party application development
Apple have finally announced plans to allow third party developers to develop for their iPhone platform, bringing the device one step closer to the smartphone it always wanted to be. If the quality of shareware and freeware available for the Mac platform is anything to go by, this should lead to a plethora of high-quality,… Read more »
LocateTv.com
My employer has just launched the open beta of a new website called locatetv. It’s not something I’ve worked on, but I sit next to (and regularly drink with) some of the guys that do. I think it’s a pretty cool site, and encourage anyone with an interesting TV to check it out. The general… Read more »
Stop telling me what to do with my stuff!
So, it looks like the upcoming firmware upgrade turns unlocked iPhones into bricks. Well, that’s the risk you take when you install unauthorised patches to a device’s firmware; it’s always a dangerous thing to do, and you can’t really expect Apple to pick up the pieces for you when it goes wrong. What does really… Read more »

Switched to WordPress
The observant amongst you will have noticed that I went for option 3. MT was just not doing what I needed it to, and when I installed WordPress in parallel to trial it, it did everything I need more or less without fail. It’s taken me a couple of days to transition (which, combined with… Read more »
