Foofpod Review.

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

When I first received my iPod a few years ago, I bought the middle of the range 15GB model. Back then the pack included the iPod Case and Dock. It didn’t take long for me to realise just how fragile the chrome and plastic of the player was when the little Apple tag in the […]

Early Cover Art From The Boing Boing Zine.

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Mark Frauenfelder was gracious enough to send me a few images of the early hardcopy zine covers after I interviewed him and Carla. It’s fun seeing the genesis of Boing Boing, and amazing to reflect on how it’s changed and grown to what it is today.
Boing Boing #3 is the earliest he’s sent. My favorite […]

Death Of VoIP, Or The Next Digital Battle.

Friday, May 27th, 2005

John C. Dvorak has made a sweeping claim in his PC Magazine column about The Coming Death of Cheap VoIP. That’s right, he thinks that VoIP services will be hijacked by the major telcos and the price will rise and the small providers will die a painful death. However, to get to this opinion he’s […]

The Gadget Show # 14

Friday, May 27th, 2005

Continuing my now set trend of interviewing the team at Boing Boing, I set up a chat with Mark Frauenfelder and Carla Sinclair. The couple that started Boing Boing as a Zine back in the 80s. We hear the whole story of why they started, how they moved to the web, and how the team […]

The Gadget Show # 13

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

I’d talked about The Long Tail so much over the last few months that it made sense to get Chris Anderson, the man behind the original article, on the show to chat about the concept. So this weeks interview isn’t just about gadgets, it can be applied across a number of areas, but well worth […]

What Does A Geek Do Without Broadband?

Friday, May 20th, 2005

Last night I came home to find that the phone line wasn’t working properly. We had a stack of static.
My first thought was that the battery was low on the wireless handset. I didn’t think much of it until I noticed my ADSL was acting really flakey. I rang the ISPs support line and was […]

Xbox 360 On Time Magazine.

Monday, May 16th, 2005

Time Magazine has a piece on the Xbox 360. I don’t have a subscription, so I’ll have to wait till I see it on the news stand and buy my copy. However, does anyone think that the Time photographer intended Bill to look like the Borg in the cover photo?

The Gadget Show # 12

Monday, May 16th, 2005

When I first read Firefox and Thunderbird Garage (The Garage Series) I realised that this book is perfect for everyone having trouble with Malware and Virii. Most novice users should grab this book and install these applications to replace IE and Outlook. All advanced users should buy this book and give it to all those […]
