I think my problem with Apple began when, without any flipping explanation at all, the latest version of their operating system required me, by default, to start scrolling upwards instead of downwards. Or was it the other way around? I can’t remember. I don’t care. I don’t want to care. This is why I pay [...]

Will enterprises embrace or restrict iCloud?
As far as most enterprise security officers are concerned, corporate data must be stored on company managed/controlled systems, eg the internal network. That’s the most basic interpretation of most policies. The definition of “systems” has widened recently to extend trust to the likes of Salesforce, Office365 or Google Apps. Indeed each of those services has [...]
How useful are you finding iOS 5′s notifications screen?
I’ve had a day with the iOS 5 notifications bar now and I’m split. Half the time I’m delighted that it fixes one of the stupidest issues with the iPhone by putting notifications all in one place. The other half of the time, I’m furious that, in order to find anything out, I have to [...]
This iOS 5 update will delete all of your apps, media and purchases… thanks
This is not quite the message I wanted to receive when I clicked ‘update’ on iTunes here in Houston this afternoon: Apparently it’s going to kill everything on the phone apart from the contacts and email messages. Joy. Hardly useful when I’m thousands of miles away from my main computer. I think I’ll need to [...]
Thank you for the joy, Steve
My good friend Tom introduced me to Apple, properly. My brother, Martin, had been using Macs for quite a while but I didn’t quite get that. It was only when Tom sat me down and discussed the appreciation he had for the stunning service, the product architecture, the seamless integration of hardware and software — [...]
iTunes with iCloud: Finally the ‘frustration’ ends
For years I’ve been rather frustrated every time I think about iTunes. I’ve got 40GB free on my 1,000GB drive. Yes, I’ve got a *dedicated* iTunes hard disk in my main Mac Pro. It’s flipping ridiculous. Buy a 2GB movie for £9 and unfortunately it’s now your problem to manage the file. I want to [...]
iCloud Photo Sync: Yup, this is very smart
After the disappointment of no additional new hardware beyond what man consider to be the bare minimum for the next generation, I think it’s right to point out that Apple certainly haven’t been staring at the wall for the last few months. It’s far too easy to forget that the glue that makes the iPhone [...]
Quote: “Apple could eat Nokia’s lunch in emerging markets”
I don’t quite agree with this one — there’s about a billion different points I’d like to make but I’m on-the-run. I wanted to post this particularly for the readers out there who have intimate knowledge of Nokia’s rather phenomenal position in the emerging marketplace. I thought it would give you a little chuckle. Have [...]
iPhone Day is finally upon us, the rumours will shortly be over!
Have you been sick of the sodding iPhone rumours? They’ve been never-ending, they really have. Tomorrow at 6pm London, the industry will take a collective deep breath and hold it for 90-odd minutes. Well, I presume something like 90 minutes. I haven’t actually looked at any timings. I can’t be bothered. I’ve had enough [...]
Replacing my cracked iPhone 4 screen…
On Sunday I was in Budgens (supermarket) in Ascot stocking up on rather boring salad materials, given the fact I am routinely being healthy. I had the wee man (“Archie”) with me — he was sat in the trolley — and I was shopping from the Evernote list that my wife compiled earlier. And then [...]
We can’t be very far away from iPhone 5 madness…
Can you feel it in the air? After the initial hive of activity back in August, it’s gone all quiet on the iPhone 5 front. There’s been the odd story now-and-again, but I think it’s fair to say that all the ‘it’ll be September 15th’ (or whenever) speculators have quietly looked the other way as [...]
HTC executive: “iPhones are for old people”
Martin Fichter, acting president or HTC America makes a stimulating market observation as Chris Taylor at Mashable points out: Speaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Fichter related a story about taking his daughter to Reed College in Portland, where he took an informal survey of her dormitory buddies. “None of them [...]
