2008-02-04 18:35:00
Before I start, I just want to point out, the definition of USB.Wow, look at this USB gadget (Obviously I wouldn't drink Coke Zero) That I found on the web.

The all new, MacBook Air.
2008-02-02 22:21:00
The Mac Book air, is called "Air" Becuase, its thin, light and compact. In that sense it seems kinda cool. But not exactly very practical, some of these elements are not practical, for example:1.Pull out ports, could prove "Flimsy"2.No Disk Drive, is a problem. And using another persons PC is a bit of a hassle, especially while otm.But apart from those seemingly annoying issues, I think there is a few positive outcomes of the MacBook Air. For example, The thiness hence to Air xD, and the bluetooth abilitys.Also I can't believe it! Mini DVI was bad enough, but now theirs bloody micro DVI. I MEAN WHATS NEXT? MICROSCOPIC DVI?SpecificationAnyways thanks for reading.

The iPhone
2008-02-02 17:38:00
The iPhone , to me sounds like a pretty cool device. Although I don't currently own one, I'm not intending to either.A few weeks a go I was in town, so I decided to visit the o2 Store. I went in, and there was a few iPhones on the counter ready to have a little go on. So I took the plunge, I liked all the cool things you could do. For example how you can use more than one finger to zoom in, and rotate items. and how you can use your finger to drag and scroll. But apart from these cool features, I looked at the applications on the device, and for me didn't prove too useful.So for me, its a no. I'm not going to get pulled in the the iHype.Here is the specification, if your interested

Jamster the Scammer.
2008-02-01 22:28:00
Many people (Like me) in their life have been scammed by the so called FREE Ring tone, or games messages on television. Little to know that, their actually signing their self up for a £10 a week subscription. In the very small print of the website, or on television it says all the vital information. The disappears of your screen in a FLASH. When you get dragged in to one of these scams, think. Get someone to blue tooth/infrared it to you. Instead of spending your income.I hope this made you think, goodbye Crazy Frog.
