I finally succumbed to temptation and bought myself an iPhone and it seems that all my worrying about my hands and not being able to use it properly was almost entirely unnecessary. I thought about it a lot beforehand and ended up trusting that I have a knack for developing little tricks and methods of … Read this review…

The weekend in Southampton was great and, as hoped, Tugger let me get my grubby fingers on his iPhone whenever I whined and pleaded. My thoughts? It’s fucking superb. I loved it. Every millimetre of its form made me want to have sex with it. Well, maybe not sex but at least a serious and … Read this review…

Before I bought my first iPod I’d nearly convinced myself that I didn’t want or need one based on the fact that it’d be an unnecessary luxury and besides, did I really need to be able to carry my music around with me? In the end I bought one and realised that even if I … Read this review…

After loads of rumours and speculation about a video iPod, Apple have released a new version of their ubiquitous MP3 player: the iPod nano. It’s as thin as a pencil, weighs a mere 42 grammes, boasts 14 hours of battery life and with enough space to store a thousand songs or 25 thousand photos, it’s … Read this review…

Like everyone else, I was getting pathetic speeds (120kbps) from my 2mbps ADSL connection over WiFi, so I tweaked my router a bit and I get around 1.6mbps consistently now. Backup or write down your current settings first so you can revert back anytime. So, here’s what to change: Channel ID: Channel 9 (2452 Mhz) … Read this review…

StarryHope’s excellent KeyFixer for Firefox 2 (and here’s a patch for Firefox 3) fixes your Home/End keys. However, to make your text navigation more “Windows” like, you might want to also change your default modifier keys (Alt) for Move/Select a Word Left/Right to ‘Ctrl‘. Here’s how to do it: 1.
