Here, then, is my perspective on the 5 things that really annoyed me during Apple’s WWDC keynote: 1. The whooping guy After almost every second sentence, whilst Tim or any of the other [...]
A week later and Apple is still feeling insecure
Give it a rest Apple? Following on from last week’s ultra desperate email to millions of iPhone users, Apple is back again with yet another reminder about how much you should love your iPhone. Apparently last week they said they had 8 JD Power awards for customer blah blah. They must have received another one [...]
Apple: “The following text outlines why you love your iPhone 5″
For the avoidance of doubt, the following text outlines why you love your iPhone 5. Feel free to print this text for further consultation. Your iPhone will periodically prompt you with test questions based on the following text. Heh. I felt that text like that quote I made up above should have been included at [...]
Apple’s getting the Nokia treatment and doesn’t like it
Stop all the clocks! Have you read what Mr Apple himself has published about Apple? John Gruber has published a decent set of rebuttals relating to the Samsung launch last week. All well and good. This is to be expected and it’s perfectly good analysis provided you recognise that he’s a super-Apple-fan. The last paragraph [...]
Trying hard to give Apple my money in their Regent Store… and failing
It is a seriously annoying experience trying to transact business in an Apple Store nowadays, especially when you’re in there at peak time. At 8pm today I tried to buy an iPad Mini, Mophie juice charger and another iPad Mini or full-size iPad. I hadn’t made my decision. I’d decided on the Mini and the [...]
Perception versus reality: Is Apple really in a death spiral? No. But enjoy the chattering!
I am deriving significant enjoyment from the apoplectic die-hard Apple fanatics and influencers going nuts over the runaway gloom currently centred around the company. In many cases (there are a few exceptions) it’s the same people who helped pile on the “Nokia is finished” and “RIM is finished” stories when both companies clearly were not. [...]

Three months of respite and now the iPhone 5S rumours begin. Joy!
That’s your lot. Three months. That’s all you get. The relentless iPhone rumour march has begun once again. Mobile Marketing Watch couldn’t stand it any longer and has covered the ‘story’. Do you think we’re likely to get bored — or, at best, just numb — to this sort of thing soon? I remember the [...]
Have you been doing the 12 Days of Christmas with Apple?
I’ve long been a super fan of Apple’s 12 Days of Christmas concept. Launched quite a while ago now, the app offers users free downloads (games, books, apps) each day for 12 days after Christmas. It’s a genius concept because it helps bring the new consumers into the ecosystem without the inevitable payment friction — [...]
What’s that you say about an Apple iWatch?
The Apple iWatch story has given an array of bloggers a bit of cheer in the run up to the New Year, hasn’t it? The millions of page impressions will have kept a few churnalists and six-pence-a-post-experts in mince pies, no doubt. But has the concept of wearable computing and Apple got legs? Yes. Well, [...]
Failed and frustrated by Amazon: Does anyone know why I can’t upgrade my Amazon Cloud Player to premium?
I spend a lot of money with Amazon. Hundreds of pounds a month, if not more. That’s because wherever possible, I direct as much of my spend through the company. I routinely work hard to radically simplify my life and remove as much complexity as possible. Amazon fits perfectly. For example, the moment I think [...]
