I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop, but the next generation has removed the ExpressCard port that I previously used for an eSATA hard drive to keep my game data on, so I'm wondering if the performance is going to be severely degraded by running the games from a SATA to FireWire 800 caddie...

Spooks is starting up again tonight on BBC1. I've just re-watched the last episode of the last season. A short breakdown of what happened in season 6 episode 10 Well thats pretty much about it, I hope you enjoy the beginning of the new season of what is the best spy series ever. I could...

Friend of mine just sent me the link to the Birmingham International Airport - Reports & Accounts (PDF) for 2007 - 2008 and instructed me to look at page 11. Its actually PDF page 11, the report page is 19. Theres a picture of a suit case x-ray which is particularly amusing for such a dry...

Just been announced, I thought MacBook and MacBook Pro sounded odd enough back when they were announced compared to iBook and PowerBook but this is ridiculous. It just sounds silly. The pictures are quite incredible though

IE8 the currently unreleased next version of Internet Explorer correctly renders the ACID2 test which is believed by many to be a critical step in any browsers life to web standards compliance. It would be incredible for the IE team if they can deliver IE8 before Firefox 3.0 is released as...

From time to time I have to use firefox and of course the google search box is very useful. Except that the search box seems to think I am german and sends me off to the results page at google.de. I've had a flick through the settings and about:config and can't find a way to force it to use...

The Leopard Review from Ars. Technica of Mac OS X Leopard is by far one of the most extensive and impressive reviews of anything I have ever read. If you are wondering what Apple's been up to since Tiger this is the place to learn it. I have to say I find all of his comments on the Apple...

The Apple produced Safari web browser has crossed the 5% browser market share mark. Net Applications browser market share survey shows MSIE at 77%, Firefox at nearly 15% and Safari just popping its head above 5%. What isn't clear though is if they are counting all 'WebKit' browsers as Safari...

When did this Processor option appear in System Preferences?? I am sure I was looking at System Preferences recently and it wasn't there

With everything I keep hearing about how bad the PS3 is compared to other consoles or even the PS2 I keep wondering who keeps buying the PS3s. Well it looks like I've found out and they aren't being hooked up to TVs ;)

This looks quite nifty. As you know you can't install normal apps onto the iPhone but with a rather spiffy looking web interface you have do all your fun IRC stuff and never miss a message even if your EDGE falls off :P http://colloquy.info/iphone/ It runs colloquy as normal on your Mac...

We have no doubt done this before but as we all know times change. I've recently setup Windows in a BootCamp partition on my MacBook and was wondering what peoples recommendations would be for Anti-Virus software. If it helps the majority of the stuff I will be doing within it will be...

Just read some rather encouraging information about FF3. The latest alpha has added a bunch of pieces that may well have it play nicer on Mac. Amongst my favourite pieces of news is that the Password Manager, now Login Manager, will be able to tie in to system password managers like the OS X...

Today at 10am PDT (5pm GMT, 6pm BST) As usual hit up MacRumors Live for the play by play text version else you gotta wait if you want to watch it ;)

I've had to write some Linked List code recently and I've managed to get it to compile and the test code seems to work. I was just wondering if anyone has any comments about it or can point out some glaring issues with any of it. I am quite new to malloc and friends so I want to make sure...

Right, so well. I am soon to be moving into a new flat in London. I need broadband like a fish needs water and I dislike caps as much as Jay-Kay loves hats. I was originally looking at Virgin Media broadband but no longer than 2 hours after placing my order for their services I was told...

I don't know how many of you are aware that if you have ADSL on your BT phone line and you then change *anything* about the account eg account holder name, phone number or address then the ADSL service is ceased and you will need to re-connect your ADSL service. I became aware of this when I...

Can anyone confirm the recent information that Apples iTunes music player has some issues with playback on Vista? I'm just wondering how bad they are really, and mainly because I just read this.

I just got a text from a friend of mine who is big into Peep Show and he told me that Mitchell and Webb the two main actors in the series are now the UK face of the Apple Mac vs PC ads in the UK UK Mac vs PC ads

Its taken me a little while to track this down, but I've found other reports on the web as well, especially related to the Asus A8N32-SLI motherboard that I have. If you install any software which uses SCSI Pass-Through Device (SPTD) drivers you may experience USB ports which just wont work...
