There is a growing trend for major music labels, and their industry counterparts, to point the finger of declining sales at peer-to-peer file swapping. Over the last few years, the Recording Industry Association of America has been very vocal about the damage they claim the technology is causing. Now the Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) […]

It’s funny how things work. The other day in the Gadget Show news podcast I mentioned my Skype Voicemail, and that I’d like to encourage people to call and leave a message. As long as the message is intelligent, I’d be happy to include it in future shows.
Today while chatting with James, from the techAddiction […]

Skype 1.0.0.15 Beta for OS X has just popped up for download which includes the SkypeIN and Skype Voicemail that Windows users got last week.

Motorola has pointed the finger at Apple, sighting them as the cause for a no-show for the iTunes phone at CeBIT. In general, that makes a lot of sense. As Apple are proving in court, they like to hold on to their product announcements until the 12th hour. You can literally walk out of an […]

Make magazine, from O’Reilly, have made gadget hacking the latest trend. Or the latest trend of gadget hacking is making Make. Either way, we love this latest hack, if only because it shows sheer love of the Pod. It ain’t a Make hack, rather one from Command - Tab, where dropping an iPod turns into […]

Amongst the chatting about Skype, Podcasting, my theory on +8GMT being a virtual badlands (see my […]

So far, CeBIT has turned out to be a bit of a let down. Too much buzz about music mobile phones, and that’s just so February. Even Motorola postponed their iTunes phone debute. For me any CeBIT news has been overshadowed by all the Xbox 2 details, and Skype’s Beta with inbound calling and voicemail […]
