    I’ve writ­ten before about the flawed state-of-the-art that exists with eBook read­ers. It all relates to busi­ness mod­el and DRM.

  • Second thoughts on Apple’s upcoming iOS4 operating system

    Earli­er today, Apple kicked off their World Wide Developers Con­fer­ence with the tra­di­tion­al key­note present­a­tion by Steve Jobs. Tris did an excel­lent job of live blog­ging the event and I pos­ted my ini­tial (and some­what per­son­ally ori­ented) per­spect­ive of the announce­ment of iOS4 on my own blog.

  • Apple just made my iPod Touch even more useful — not

    Today Apple (well, Steve Jobs) announced a num­ber of things at WWDC (Apple’s World Wide Developer­’s Conference). The one caught my atten­tion  was the announce­ment of iOS4 — the oper­at­ing sys­tem pre­vi­ously known as iPhone OS.

  • Using your phone to control your media centre with DLNA

    A few months ago I had the pleas­ure to attend a Sam­sung product demo that included some very cool HDTV and 3DTV tech­no­logy. Today we look at DLNA. …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop Techb­log. Check out the full post here.

  • Saving the Internet, one plugin at a time

    Well, a few posts ago I men­tioned that I’d taken steps to speed up this blog. Here’s a Ping­dom response time graph show­ing how fast slow this blog was, before I pulled a few plugins. And here’s what it looks like today. So, accord­ing to these res­ults, the blog is faster. And what I’d done was­n’t…

  • eBooks — not quite there yet.

    Recently I bought a simple eBook read­er online. My wife has one too, from a dif­fer­ent man­u­fac­turer.
