When Was The Last Time You Brought A Newspaper?
The net was flooded over the weekend with various stories writing the epitaph of the humble newspaper. I actually can’t remember the last time I brought a newspaper it’s been so long. When I was growing up I never brought a daily newspaper, but I think that was because my brother was always [...]

Friday Fun: The Best Stories Of 2006 That Shouldn’t Have Happened!

What New Gadgets Did You Buy In 2006?

My own predictions proved to be fairly accurate, although I did pick up a few extra bits and bobs I wasn’t expecting. [...]
Competition: CustomPC Will Overclock Your Machine
Three lucky readers of CustomPC will get their PCs tweaked and overclocked by their resident overclocking aficionados, Gareth Ogden and James Gorbold. In addition, any upgrades will be thrown in for free so expect some goodies if you’re the lucky winner.

A friend of mine called me today to ask if she should turn off her WiFi network, because she heard that they were dangerous for kids and that some schools were removing their networks.

I’ve decided that after over 6 years with Vodafone, it’s time to leave.
I haven’t really been paying attention to the price plans from other networks as the price plan that I had from Vodafone worked fine for me - 350 mins and a £60 allowance for data and SMSs which worked out to 500 [...]
I’ve Ditched My Smartphone And Bought a PDA!
Yes, it’s true. After being one of the biggest supporters on the planet of Smartphones, I’ve ditched my Nokia N80 (I’m using it just as a plain-old phone now) and bought a Dell Axim X51V. Why? Well, I’m working as a contractor now and I’ve lost my company laptop. I tried [...]
