Smartphones are selling like hotcakes and in a couple of years time from now virtually all mobile phones will be smartphones at least throughout the developed world. It seems odd, then, that the various smartphones and Mac OS X don’t seem to get along very well with each other. When it comes to synchronising [...]
When I said “as a corporate customer of Microsoft products, the probability of me installing Windows 7 on a physical machine any time soon is infinitesimally small” less than a week ago, I spoke too soon. That’s because, err, I am now running Windows 7 on my ThinkPad T61 laptop at work. This is [...]
As I ranted over and over, I am not a big fan of glossy laptop screens at all and I know I am not alone. If you have no idea what this is about, check out the picture in this report. After years of nonsense, however, at least one manufacturer is heeding the voice [...]
Does a person’s occupation or professional title dictate whether they are a geek? Probably not. This might serve as a counter-example (translation: Is Mr Fillon our Prime Minister a true geek?). Even in workplaces whose members are allegedly tech-savvy, it’s kind of hard to find people who are geeky at the core. I, too, have [...]
It’s been a week since the Great Apple Announcements of 2009: new operating system, new laptops, and new phone. It’s no secret that Apple profits hugely from its culture of secrecy; publicity generated from worldwide speculation on its yet-to-be-made product announcements must be worth an astronomical sum every year.

Bringing a five year-old laptop back to life is kind of like restoring a classic car, though I’m no automobile enthusiast. The 1.07GHz [...]
Hijacking mouse clicks? No, it’s not a marketing concept. “Clickjacking” is the scariest most diabolic security threat to everyday computing I have come across in a long while. And unlike those countless viruses out there, being a Mac user doesn’t automatically protect one from this type of attacks.
So what is clickjacking? In a nutshell, it’s [...]
Lately I’ve been thinking about people who smoke while walking along crowded streets or standing at pedestrian crossings. Will the world be a better place without people who choose to smoke while walking along crowded streets or standing at pedestrian crossings? Possibly. But I have more important propositions that will definitely make the world a [...]
Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP, also known as LAMP, is probably the most cost-effective way of running big and small Internet applications, including this blog. I once mentioned I also have a “staging” blog, an exact replica of the live one, configured on my MacBook. Now that’s MAMP, i.e. Mac OS X instead [...]
