Another summer is definitely in full swing. Great weather aside, Apple released their new iPhone to long queues of people camping out to get their hands on the new smartphone. Once again Apple seems to have got the formula right and created a highly desirable yet brilliantly functional phone. Selling a breathtaking 1.7 million iPhones in the first 3 days of release, Android handsets have a considerable way to go to match sales like that.

Just in case you've missed out over the last couple of weeks, Apple and Adobe have been at each other's throats over Flash. This all started with Adobe taking exception to Apple not allowing Flash to function on the iPhone / iPad OS. Steve Jobs has repeatedly said that Flash is too resource hungry to be on a mobile device, and to be fair he does have a point. Afterall, just look at how many resources are taken up when you do anything in Flash eg watching a YouTube video.

Well this post is a bit of a milestone for me on two fronts. Firstly this marks a return to writing for me after several months. The second is that I never actually thought I'd be writing about a "tablet pc" by Apple, not so much because of the long standing rumours but no product but mainly because before the release of the iPad I simply wasn't interested in tablet / slate computing.

Amidst the updates Apple made to the iMac and Macbook products, the new Magic Mouse and updates to Time Capsule, Apple also updated the Mac Mini, and introduced a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server version. Here's my thoughts on the update.

OK so I kinda found this website this morning ( break.com ) and thought I'd give it a go. It's pretty much like YouTube, so I've decided to upload all videos I make from today onwards to Break as well as YouTube and see what happens.

For anyone who is interested, my profile is www.break.com/Projiuk

This is the first video I've done in a very long time, so it seemed like a good idea to start with a tour of my desk. Enjoy!

Something happened to me the other day, I was introduced to World of Warcraft. Inherently this introduction was always going to end up badly for my free time.

Anyone who's known me for the last few years will know the sheer amount of hours I used to spend playing Guild Wars. WoW being of similar nature yet even more in depth naturally carries the same addictive factor. And what makes it worse? I don't even have to boot into Windows, thanks to Blizzard doing a stellar job on a Mac client for the game.

So as I type this, I'm about to fire up WoW again. Another happy addict in the making, expect a review to follow soon!

I'm sure you've noticed the new look to the website, this completes my work on updating the site. I hope you like the new look, all feedback is welcome. I'm aware of a couple of issues I need to fix to do with placements but that is now minor work.

Thank you for your patience through the updates, the site is now much quicker and much better looking. Now to get back to what this site is all about... talking tech!
