17 New Battery, Good Times
I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple Store in Aberdeen today. I
was fed up with the poor performance of the battery after only having it for 5 months.
They ran a simple diagnostic on the battery from an iPod (as an external drive), and produced a beautifully coloured graph which I’ve recreated for you all to see. Read the rest of this entry »

14 Why Twitter will get Shitter
Twitter have unveiled their plans on monetizing their social networking site.

Until now Twitter has provided a free service to their 75 Million users. There has been huge speculation on which advertising model the service would adopt.

03 Why I’m not iMad for the iPad
Even if I do feel instantly engaged when I get my first iPad experience (which I will go out of my way to get), there’s no way in hell I’m splashing out at least $499. Why? Simply this: what on earth would I use it for that I can’t already do on my Laptop or phone? Nothing. Can I sync my iPods and iPhone with it? No. Can I be more productive on my MacBook? Yes. Will it fill a void in my life and make me feel special? Only if I’m a self-indugent narcissist, which I would hope I’m not.
On the other hand it does look quite nice. If I had the spare cash would I buy one? Probably. I’d say I fall in the category: iPad = luxury item.
It’s a no brainer for me. No thanks. What about you?
