Thursday March 14th 2013, 2:29am

From what I’ve read, very few of you actually use Google Reader. That’s what they tell me. So few of you, that its not worth keeping the old Google Reader around any more. If you aren’t sure what it is, it was quite Simply one of the best, if not the best, rss reader ever [...]

Apple are judged to a higher standard
Monday February 25th 2013, 12:19am

I’m looking at all these small tablets being announced at MWC. So far there are 7″ish offerings from Samsung, Lenovo and HP. Doubtless there will be more to follow.
