The presence of GreenMyApple was quite mysterious, that is because they weren’t there. Outside the Olympia Hall where the expo was taking place, there was a Greenpeace rep, handing out GreenMyApple leaflets, with a huge banner and even a flag. The leaflet can be seen above, it isn’t the best quality as I scanned it [...]

Parallels had quite a small stand, with only one rep, but they certainly impressed me. I’ve never actually had a chance to see parallels in the flesh, and I’ve only heard about it on the Interweb. Apple don’t install it on their Macs in the Apple store so this was new for me. A few [...]

Google had a booth at MacExpo, not really announcing anything new, just showcasing their software for the Mac. Google’s booth was very well designed, not the best though (I would have to say Quark’s was the best), and around he front there were 6 Intel iMac’s which you could use to try out Google Maps, [...]

If there are no pictures showing up above, then please be patient as it might take flickr a while to set up the photos, or I have not uplodaded any photos yet. Click on the images to be taken to the relative flickr page. Click here to see all the photos I have taken so [...]

The much awaited revision of Firefox, 2.0, has officially been released. After a number of blunders yesterday it has finally been pushed out the door.  A lot has been added to Firefox, in the background as visually. The UI has been improved and re-done, and gives it a much more elegant feeling. Firefox 2 now [...]

Apple has updated the MacBook Pros, for the first time since its launch in January of this year. So what do the updates feature? Well the Firewire 800 port is now also built-in into the 15″ model, whereas before it was only in the 17″. The other main update, was that they finally receieved a [...]

A lot of gaming news has happened while I was away, so I thought I’d summerise it all.

Sony sues games importer Lik-Sang out of existence. Sony originally filed a motion against Lik-Sang in August of 2005 for exporting PSP’s to the UK before the release of the console there. Just last week a high court [...]

I got back from Hungary at around midnight of Sunday. I would have posted news on Monday and yesterday, as it was awfully busy in the tech world, but my copy of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter arrived in the posted. So I ended playing it pretty much all day. It is a fantastic game, but [...]

After all the problems that Sony has stuffed us with, you’d think they’d have learnt by now to get things sorted out in time for the launch. But apparently it seems they haven’t learned a thing. Not only is the PS3 already been delayed for us in Europe, but we are supposed to suffer another [...]

The Chicago Tribune has posted a photo of Oprah and Bono checking out the new (RED) iPod nano’s at the Michigan Avenue Apple Store in Chicago. Not only that, but someone spotted the Apple Cube Store in NYC changing their Apple logo to a red one (photo here).
Also, on Apple’s website, they are now advertising [...]
