I’m a Mac and I’m also a tosser

I can’t stand the smugness of those Get a Mac adverts with Mitchell and Webb in them. I especially hate the one that says Macs never crash. That’s just bullshit. I’m sure OS X is better, but the last Mac I used crashed all the time. As for this PC with Windows XP — for […]

sh-ITV

How can three little letters be so offensive? Steve Jobs on his new gizmo (via Guardian Technology blog): It’s called iTV. That’s a codeword. We need to come up with a better name. Sir Peter Burt on the name of his company: I wonder if we should change the name of the company from ITV. […]

FM3’s Buddha Machine: Cheap but awesome!

Because of the dazzlingly successful photo sharing website’s success there is now a ridiculous trend to ditch the ‘e’ […]
