by Stephen Chinnadorai on Apr 17, 2008 at 10:19 AM

I have already complained about the ridiculously overpried iPhone in the UK - it’s about time someone cut the price to something much more reasonable. Unfortunately, the overseas trade… Continue Reading »

BBC to offer video downloads for Mac; Apple TV considered

by Stephen Chinnadorai on Feb 8, 2008 at 10:42 AM

After many online petitions, including one on the government’s website, the BBC did say they would bring out a version of their iPlayer software on Linux and Mac. Their main reason for keeping it on Windows is because it uses Windows Media’s DRM technology - which isn’t that great anyway.… Continue Reading »
