Microsoft Windows Comes Of Age - Happy 21st Birthday!
Believe it or not Windows is 21 years old on Monday. When it was launched in 1985 the PC market was barely out of it’s infancy, and whatever you may think of Microsoft it is amazing what they Bill Gates & Co have built in such a relatively short time.
Windows has been through many [...]
Getting Vista, Zune Or Another MP3 Player? How To Migrate From iTunes
I’ve been using an iPod for nearly 4 years, and iTunes every since it became available for Windows about 3 years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I like my iPod/iTunes combination but over the last year or so because of changes in the way I listen to music, this partnership has created a lot of [...]

Why Can’t iTunes Add Album Artwork Properly?

The PS3 Is Over-Specced For The Average User - Are Sony Missing The Point?

However, I really think Sony’s obsession with making the PS3 a technological marvel is going to be a big mistake. For [...]
Microsoft Launching Music And Video Download Services?
Downloadsquad have picked up on rumours that Microsoft are planning subscription-based music and video download services which will provide unlimited or a high number of downloads each month.
I think this would be so cool, and would suit my needs down to a tee as I would be able to access this service via my soon [...]

I would love to get an invite to the Windows Live Messenger 8 beta (dropping a big hint if anyone takes pity on me - everton@connectedinternet.co.uk!) but I’m not desperate enough to pay for one. Once again eBay has proven that you can create a market for anything and invites are appearing for [...]
