One of the items that have come out of MWC is all this hoohar about the new range of HTC phones. I have to admit that they actually look pretty good, and I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for HTC.

Not meaning to sound smug here, but my main drive is backed up using Time Machine and Carbonite. At any [...]

Apple announced the next version of OS X and it’s called Mountain Lion. It isn’t really long since we got Lion, but now Apple say they are moving to a yearly update schedule. Fair enough, it’s what we’ve come to expect from our phones, so why not go that way with desktop operating systems too. Since [...]
