Well, it’s a damn good thing I’m not ET – ’cause for a while there I couldn’t phone home. Three weeks ago I broke my mobile phone – iMate Jamin – when (encased in the protective thingy) it careened off my belt to land face first on the floor of the […]

According to this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/ausdev/archive/2007/05/03/windows-vista-beta-2-rc1-and-rc2-set-to-expire.aspx Those still running Beta and Release Candidate copies of Windows Vista are soon to be set to deal with their OS expiring. This as a consequence means that people will either have to upgrade to the RTM version (which isn’t a bad idea) […]

Vista Woes and more

Hi all, So recently I’ve come to the conclusion that Vista and Flash aren’t a match made in heaven. If you’ve got or used Vista, you may be aware that most flash powered sites don’t detect your flash version on Vista (for whatever reason) even though it’s […]

From ‘The Australian IT’ comes this puzzling piece on the slated release date for the xbox 360’s HD DVD drive. It’ll cost $250 which is slightly cheaper than the US price. It will also be region free for HD-DVD titles. Now here’s the kicker: From the article: "Standard […]

There are number of convincing benefits which may make Vista an attractive migration/upgrade today (i.e. from consumer launch on […]

Slashdot has a decent thread going currently about the blessings and curses of Microsoft’s newest platform, Windows Vista. Now, as a [basically] impartial blogger (who just happens to make bread off Microsoft technologies) I’m in a position to be critical and to kowtow at the same time. Make your own judgement […]

Check out Apple’s new idea… Introducting the Apple iPhone. Ugh, how I loathe iPods. However, there is an outside chance that Apple’s phone might be more stable than Windows Mobile 5 devices, so there is still hope for the iPhone. Unfortunately, the iPhone has a rechargeable battery which can’t be removed […]
