You or may not know that yesterday Apple announced some new gadgets for geeks like me to lust over and fritter all our cash on.

I have had two hard drives connected to my iMac — an 80Gb internal and a 250Gb external (via FireWire) — and yesterday my internal one died – one minute it was working fine, then it started making a noise and then about 30 seconds later it died.

It has been just over three months since I took delivery of my all-singing-all-dancing-super-Ninja-shit-kicking bed … and now it’s broken. Bollocks.

Whilst I was laid up in hospital, being waited on hand and foot by many lovely nurses (it’s a hard life …), I realised how much I missed being able to tinker with my computer. This came as no shock to me as someone who, given the chance, would spend far more time than is … Read this review…

Very soon after getting my iPod it became painfully obvious that, whilst the Apple-supplied earphones sounded good, they were bloody uncomfortable and had a habit of falling out of my ear now and then. I put up with it for a couple of months but in the end it became far too annoying to continue … Read this review…

There I am, minding my own business viewing the sights around the world as listed on Google Sightseeing and I begin to get annoyed as my shiny new Mighty Mouse seems to be malfunctioning. And then a pattern begins to emerge … It seems that I can happily scroll up and down to my heart’s … 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…
