    I won’t go as far as calling SL a snow job, I’d rather call it a dubious marketing strategy, with much win to Apple’s portfolio! To unquote Leo Laporte, as he was only trying to be clever with a bad pun, Apple had nothing to hide with this latest update nor were they covering up…

    Are you getting tired of these request too? I’ve had just about enough of it and seriously thinking of dropping Skype altogether for good. The problem is not about one occasional spam message. The real problem is what they are not doing to protect it’s users.

    It would appear that Twitter is down at the moment. Suffering form a DoS attack in Biz Stone’s own words: We had a lot of things we’d rather be doing this morning, defending against a DoS wasn’t one of them: Twitter Blog.

    February 12 2009: MacBook Pro 15” ordered. February 20, 2009: Proud owners of our first MacBook ! Now the integration starts.

The only issue we still are having is the lousy integration between Blackberry and Mac, which was…

    I cleared my inbox and tasks this morning to download the much touted 4.7.0.148 update for the BlackBerry Storm and try to rekindle my love affair with the BlackBerry again. Lately, I’ve been getting that 7 year itch feeling whenever I use the Storm. The younger smartphones like the iPhone are suddenly looking really sexy…

    FireFox 3.5 has just been released and yes it’s pretty damn fast! I’ve been using it since the Release Candidate 3. The only reason I did not get on the Beta Train was the lack of support for my favourite add-ons and extensions. As a web developer and WEB2.0 Junkie, my needs are a little…
