A running theme through the articles that went up in the latter half of last week. First up, at Geekspeak, a review of Belkin’s Conserve Insight: How much power does your IT equipment use? “Plugging in a PC, however, saw the figure jump very quickly up to $295, and a second PC saw that hop […]

Another week winds its way down; one that’s been somewhat quiet on the publishing front. At Hydrapinion, I opined about smartphone pricing: How cheap can smartphones get? “Clearly someone in Telstra’s marketing department has a thing for the word “Touch”. and at Geekspeak, I ran down the operating system factors to consider when buying a

It’s been an astonishingly productive week. Possibly because my brain is gearing up for the second half of March, where I’ll be even busier but significantly less productive (if you know why, you know why. If you don’t, you probably don’t need to know). Over at CNET.com.au, another uDraw title got a going over: uDraw

into tiny, tiny little pieces. This week’s MacTheBlog post looks at the exciting world of Mac rumours, by way of The Rock, tinned tomatoes and The Amazing Criswell. MacTheBlog: Apple announces details of iPad 2: Exclusive! “I’ll just pause for a second to duck the rancid tomatoes that are no doubt heading my way. Please,

An unusual mix of articles today… well, OK, one of them was actually published late last week, and I omitted it then because it skipped my attention. Frankly, a laptop that big and glowing should never skip anyone’s attention. From CNET.com.au comes the monster… in 3D! Toshiba Satellite A660/07R “Toshiba’s 3D-capable laptop works exceptionally well

A trio of commentary articles to keep you busy/amused/informed (delete where applicable). Firstly, a somewhat delayed in publication column, written while I was in the UK on the relationship between Apple and McDonald’s: MacTheBlog: How The Apple Stores Make Money: “Now, just up the road is something that’s not that unusual. A McDonald’s.” Then at

At the conclusion of the HTC event I flew to London for, I took a few days “off” to visit relatives, wander around old haunts and generally kick back a little. Except things are never quite that simple, and while I was doing that, plenty of my works were being published. Now that I look

Things were so much easier when I picked subject lines based on what I was listening to at the time. Still, the above subject line does make sense. Of a sort. Firstly, the T-Shirts, over at PC Authority, where I’ve looked over Internode’s new “T-Shirt” 1TB broadband plans: Internode enters the 1TB race with “T-Shirt”

“Morning noon and night it’s drink and dancing, some quick romancing, and then a shower..” If only the life of a tech journo was quite that simple. Also, I’d look dreadful in fishnets. You know it, I know it — let’s not go there. Instead, we could go over to Hydrapinion, where this week’s column

You know that whole idea of a work/life balance? Right at the moment, mine’s so tilted it’s essentially a work/work balance with the life hanging onto an edge somewhere by the very tips of its fingers. In fact, I think I just heard it scream as it inevitably let go. Inbetween running a household and
