Will The New iPhone Have A 4 Inch Display?
Thursday March 22nd 2012, 4:47pm

No. And let me tell you why… It’s all because of this retina display business. You see, it’s down to pixel density. There are so many pixels crammed on to that iPhone screen that your eye can’t see them. If you want to make the screen better you need to put more pixels on there, [...]

The Great Screen Experiment
Tuesday March 20th 2012, 2:52pm

Most, if not all portable electronic devices feature some sort of semi-indestructible glass. You may know it as Gorilla Glass, which is just a brand name. There’s a few different versions made by different companies. It occurred to me that I have absolutely no first hand experience as to how good this stuff is. After all, if [...]

Tuesday March 20th 2012, 2:51pm

Doesn’t that just go to show how much I actually know. Just yesterday I answered a question which asked when the BBC iPlayer was going to launch on the Xbox 360.  We knew it was going to happen, but we didn’t know when. Anyway, when, turned out to be today. If you live in the [...]

Sky Sports F1 HD
Friday March 16th 2012, 2:10pm

I feel like a bit of a traitor writing this. We all saw last year’s great F1 season on the BBC, but towards the end of the season, it was announced that F1 would be going to Sky.

The Art of Intimidation
Thursday March 15th 2012, 3:49pm

As I sit here writing this I am paralysed with what could be mistaken for fear. I don’t think it is fear though, I know it’s been going on for about an hour now, but it isn’t fear. There’s adrenaline, that’s definitely there. I can feel my heart pumping faster than normal, and my hands are slightly shakey. Right [...]

Android Apps: QuickPic
Wednesday March 14th 2012, 11:57pm

Let’s face it, the stock Android Gallery app is somewhat lacking. Actually, if only that were the problem. If anything, the app suffers from having far too much going on. It didn’t used to be too bad, but since the invention of Google+, there have been just too many duplicates of photos for my liking.

I Want A Website That Does This
Tuesday March 13th 2012, 10:54pm

I would like a website that would let me upload, and sell, a video. I don’t want to pay a monthly fee. I don’t want to have restricted downloads or bandwidth. I’d be happy if the site took say, 20% of what I charge for the video. It should be embeddable so I can put [...]

An Apple Television? Seriously?
Tuesday March 13th 2012, 9:49pm

I came back to the Mac around 2003. My family didn’t own one when I was growing up, but my school exclusively ran on the Macintosh. Any work I did at school, on a computer, was done on a Mac. At the time I thought the Amiga we had at home was better, after all, it connected [...]
