100 uses for Evernote

oli@the-iblog.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:39:26 +0000

I’ve been using Evernote on and off for a good while now, but one of the problems I have is I don’t have any real use for it. For me, Evernote is very much one of those apps that, while exceedingly cool, I just don’t use. It’s a shame, because I like the idea, and [...]

Now before I write this post I’d like to apologise to Steve Jobs for installing Windows an my MacBook. Yes I know I may well rot in hell. With that out of the way, here’s what I found myself fighting with before the install. Now I’d not tried Boot Camp before, so this was all new to [...]

Spotify improves music purchasing

oli@the-iblog.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:05:39 +0000

Another YouTube video for you, this time from Spotify. It appears they’ve improved the way you purchase music through the service, but having never tried it before I’ve no idea how improved it actually is ! Just one question though.

oli@the-iblog.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:28:53 +0000

Found this Windows 7 advert while on Youtube this morning. I might be getting soft in my old age, but I don’t think it’s too bad ! Feel free to tell me I’m talking rubbish though.

TomTom Car Kit – unboxed

oli@the-iblog.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:35:25 +0000

That’s right folks, somebody bought one ! A reminder before you watch this video – this kit’s £99.95 and DOES NOT include the £59.99 app. That said, click through for the video and enjoy. The guy’s also giving the kit away, so if you fancy one for free, now’s your chance. So, is he the only person [...]

If the iPhone had multitasking through coverflow…

oli@the-iblog.com — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:37:31 +0000

….it’d be a cross between an iPhone and a Palm Pre. Still, tell me you wouldn’t love this as a software update ! Something tells me we’d need a little more horsepower than the original iPhone spec though.

Google Wave – What exactly IS it ?

oli@the-iblog.com — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:11:02 +0000

Everyone’s talking about Google Wave these days, whether they be slating it, or asking for invites. One thing that seems to get covered over and over, is a question: What IS Google Wave for ? The most common line coming out of Google is a confusing one. They say Google is what email would be if [...]
