What I would improve about Google Reader

It’s not often for me to admit my addictions, but at this moment in time I’ll give in to an exception to the rule. I’m an RSS junkie, information addict, news lover, and serial procrastinator, whatever you want to call it. The majority of my time on the Internet is spent reading numerous RSS feeds through [...]

Vista has launched everyone

Daniel — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 12:26:54 +0000

Microsoft released their next edition of Windows on Tuesday, an historic event? Didn’t it seem a bit of an….anti climax? News sites and technology blogs spent weeks anticipating Vistas release, on the day there was a breadth of news coverage and media reviewing the install process, posting screen shots and so forth. Did anyone really give [...]

The European launch of the ‘most eagerly anticipated console of all time‘ Sony have finally managed to locate Europe on the map and announced that we’ll be getting a slice of the PS3 pie. Everyone knows that my opinion of the machine (and Sonys arrogance) dwindles by the day, but I’ll be interested to see what [...]

Are you sitting on a Gamecube gold mine?

With the Wii hysteria starting to settle down and a lack of new releases, curious Wii owners are starting to focus their attention on discovering the delights that the Gamecube backwards compatibility can offer them. The problem is, as we all know, the Gamecube in the UK never faired too well towards the end of [...]

A ceremonious return!

Okay so it’s pretty obvious this blog has been suffering from a lack of updates and it’s this to which I apologise. A lot has happened in a month (or there abouts) and I’ll drop the usual excuse of being too busy to think of blogging. Don’t fear though, I have returned to resume normal [...]

Sony tries to get down with the kids. Fails.

E3 was bad enough, Sony stumbled through their shoddy presentation making various claims and sound bites for the Internet to devour and manipulate. But what you’re about to hear next goes beyond all expectations, I honestly couldn’t believe how ridiculous a company could get. As we all know, the PSP isn’t fairing too well under Nintendo’s [...]

Just remember to re-sync your controller in the future

Daniel — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 23:07:49 +0000

I live in a flat with 5 other people and three of use are happy owners of the amazing Nintendo Wii. As you can imagine, multi-player mayhem is on the agenda so there’s usually a Wii in the lounge, located just across the corridor from my room. So, after re-syncing my controller with the Wii in [...]

Nintendo Wii

December 8th 2006, the day that changed the gaming world forever? Well, after a day spent trawling around town, I finally managed to get my hands on a Nintendo Wii. Not without hassle however, getting it was a journey starting at 8o’clock in the morning. Nearly all places were pre-order only, as expected, the only place [...]

Wii mania.

Daniel — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 14:19:28 +0000

It’s Wii-day for us Brits tomorrow, as I sit here on Wii eve, I can’t help thinking it will be a complete and utter disappointment. I’m not going to get my hopes up, because the probability is pretty high to assume I won’t get one. Even though I have two pre-orders sitting in tow different [...]

Download YouTube Videos to your hard drive.

Daniel — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 14:12:38 +0000

Disclaimer: I’m unsure as to what the legality of this is, but to be fair, youtube hasn’t got the greatest reputation in the world. Isn’t it annoying that the flash player on youtube doesn’t cache your videos? Or you view a video but can’t find it again the next day? Wouldn’t it be better if you [...]
