The fact that this puny piece of malware is getting this much attention tells you everything you need to know about mac security. I'm sick of the argument that macs aren't targeted by hackers because they are the minority platform. There are a si…

Am I alone in being utterly underwhelmed by this entire cloud music idea? I just do not think this is a big deal at all. This data centre must have a more grandiose purpose lined up for it surely! I just cannot see any great number of people paying …

LTE is one of those pieces of technology a bit like AMOLED screens. The public might think it's newer and better and so manufacturers will add it to their devices before it becomes worthwhile in the real world. It's not Apple's style to give in to t…

The report mentions hardware to install. Doesn't indicate whether that means backlit posters or product but it's interesting. What could Apple keep a secret that would be a big deal? A5 Apple TV with full App Store and iOS devices as controllers?…

Rovio shipped 140m downloads of Angry Birds but Tap Tap's 15m makes it the most popular iPhone gaming series? Does this mean Rovio sold 125m copies of AB to other platforms? Doesn't seem to make sense.

STILL doesn't tell my discrete graphics to kick in for the hardware acceleration, not that it should have to use so much power to run bog-standard video. The video on bbc.co.uk runs ok until you make it full screen and then it's jerky unless I turn …

I have to say guys you're not giving magicj a very fair hearing. Some of what he says is a little silly but he makes some very good points. He's not vitriolic, he's just pointing out that Apple stuffed up on consolidated.db and that he isn't happy w…
