Unlocking the iPhone 3G, o2 and iPhone 4
Continuing the saga of fair usage of my iPhone 3G and o2. Quoted direct from an o2 representative, sic "We are not ripping anyone off" - meaning : we are ripping everyone off as fast as we can before the legislation takes hold. The premise is simple. The iPhone 3G was previously only sold by ...

iPhone, Europe and avoiding data roaming charges
If there's one thing that sticks in my craw its paying a shit load of money to use my iPhone abroad. I like to use geo-tagged items like posting in Brightkite, the exciting thing being that you can go somewhere very remote and log where you have been. Obviously I'd be expecting to pay to ...

HD film torrent conversion for a Mac or PS3
An apple and PS3 work together perfectly. Im writing this article as there is a total lack of coherent information about creating an HD ( or SD for that matter ) film from multiple torrent downloaded formats, including .mkv,.m2ts and others.

Dirty Apple mighty mouse.
Anyone whos got one - that little trackball on top stops working - and gets full of filth. Ive just fixed mine - what a pallava. I distinctly hope the new mouse gets round this. Inevitably the video is somebody with a Californian accent.

If like me you bought a printer in the UK that promises to be a whole host of things - and does none of them because your using a computer thats not two years out of date / Windows PC, this could be the answer.

Lack of printer drivers for SnowLeopard
Can there be anything more annoying than the lack of printer drivers by EPSON, let alone more PC based printers for new OS. They have only had months and months to produce it. Why can't they just publish a list of printers they will and wont support. Now Ill have to use Gutenprint again...

Ceci n est pas une iPhone
Id like a job in the R&D dept at LG or Sony Erricson. Just how hard is it to design something thats significantly different from the iPhone / has the phone manufacturers identity stamped on it - apparently even with all that design talent they hire on, very.
Thats what Im assuming anyway - or perhaps ...

Apple Inc wades into fat people
Original story
Apple have blamed overweight buyers for breaking their Nanos by having them in their pockets. They have a point I guess. Thats a big risk though, presumably they have done their market research and know they wont be irretrievably offending the very people they are selling to, ie average Americans.
