Martin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:45:09 +0000

Thomas: Ever since the iPad announcement I’ve been eagerly awaiting further details of the tiny powerhouse that drives is, the Apple A4 CPU. I’ve just finished reading an article on its guts, or at least the general consensus of what will form its guts. The article guesses that it’s not based on the latest ARM A9 [...]

The App store is the future – a vision.

Martin: One of the most significant things about the iPad is the also the most obvious: its bigger than the iPhone. The app store is a brilliant thing. Developers get to focus on making great software for a controlled set of hardware while Apple look after virtually all the administration. The apps are available allover the [...]

Talking Apple?

Martin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:08:52 +0000

If we had any regular readers (at all) then they might notice that we talk about Apple quite a bit. Maybe its because Apple make a lot of important technologies, maybe its because we are both gigantic Apple fanboys. Who knows? Anyway as an improvement to the site we are going to start a new [...]

Will iPad change the world?

Martin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:56:15 +0000

Martin: If you believed most geeks out there then the answer is a resounding NO! Fortunately they are completely wrong. It MIGHT change the world. I am very excited about it and will definitely buy one. It will be great for sitting around the house in a comfy armchair web browsing, gaming or playing videos. I will do this at the expense of switching on my iMac.

What is this Apple tablet all about?

Martin: Right now every media outlet in the world seems to be talking about the possible appearance of the mythical Apple Tablet at a rumoured press event on the 26th January (handy that the ‘leaks’ are overshadowing CES coverage isn’t it?). Should Steve Jobs descend from Mount Horeb carrying some sort of tablet device what should [...]

Some more musings about recent news stories from a house on the moon to the mind controlled iPhone Water on the Moon – Perhaps we will see a bit more effort going into the attempts to go back there. This could be a serious boost to the chances of seeing a big brother to the ISS [...]

Lighting a fire in the rainforest

Martin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:16:16 +0000

Thomas: I’ve just hit amazon.co.uk to order a couple of books and I’ve got what looks like a personal note from Jeff Bezos to let me know that I can get my grubby little angle-saxon paws on a Kindle. The UK store isn’t selling them (yet), I have to order it from the dot [...]
