A magsafe power supply is designed to be easily removed from a laptop in case someone trips over the cable. It also unplugs itself very easily when using a macbook and the cable is snagged somewhere (usually on my couch) or the power cable is pulled…

Oh and of course there will not be a magsafe in the new Mini. The concept of that makes no sense whatsoever.

I am predicting that it will have two video outputs. Mini Display Port and HDMI. I really hope it has HDMI anyway. I would like to carry both sound and picture through my Amp on HDMI rather than mess around with separate picture and sound outputs, i…

I too bought an iPod touch this year, I got a 32GB one. It is a great iPod, brilliant for listening to music and watching the occasional movie when I am traveling. I have given up using it as a web browser or even an email device. I am currently …

Surely the price of the iPhone contract will be the same no matter which carrier you are with? Seen as AT&T are subsidising a chunk of the cost of the iPhone as part of the contract then so too will any other carrier. They need to add somethi…

Price like in any of these things is totally irrelevant. In is all about supply and demand. Like in 12 months time you will be able to buy Blu-Ray movies for the same price as todays DVD's. The Hybrid ones will too become affordable. Too many compan…

So hybrid DVD/Blu-Ray disks are ready to hit the market and will start to be used on major released in 2009. These are disks that are DVD on one side and Blu-Ray on the other and best of all will work on all existing players. I would expect for t…
