I got a package yesterday addressed to “Alex Kidman Clown School, Inc.” It’s nice to see my editors taking me seriously, for a change…. Back to the serious stuff, though, and an analysis of this morning/yesterday’s/today’s (depending on which side of the dateline you sit) Macworld Keynote for PC Authority: Mac Authority: Business as usual: […]

First story off the cab ranks, at APCMag.com. And in a shock move, it involves Apple. Well, sorta. I may well end up hearing from Apple’s army of lawyers over this one… Fake Phil Schiller: what Apple has in store for 2009: “We intercepted Fake Phil Schiller sneaking in to Steve Jobs’ carspot at Cupertino

How would you measure that handful of nothing? Presumably not by weight. Why is it a handful, anyway? I could deliver nothing by the truckload, in my special fleet of invisible trucks, for a low, low price!* In the land of not-nothing, yesterday’s Windkintosh story has been slashdotted, and predictably, the Slashdotiverse thinks I suck,
You took a whole lotta loving for a handful of nothing… Read More »
I’m doing an Alison-Moyet-Listening day today, as you might be able to tell. But hey, on the on the subject of words, I have plenty published today. First of all, at APCMag.com: Mobile Firefox coming to Nokia: “Ambitious plans will see Firefox mobile ported to Symbian Smartphones, possibly by as early as April next year.”
You've got me so confused, and there's words I could use… Read More »
More news, reviews and not-terribly idle speculation today. It’s enough to send one GaGa… First up, at PC Authority: Macworld 2009 rumour mill: Windkintosh? “Unofficial “official” WiFi drivers brings the Mac Netbook ever closer — albeit in a shady legal fashion.” And then a pair of reviews at Gadgetguy.com.au coming out of the recent Adelaide
And everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio… Read More »
Note: I am not, and very rarely have been in an attic. A couple of strikingly different articles today, both at PC Authority. First, hot from the pages of the print magazine, there’s this: Far Cry 2: “Far Cry 2 is an ugly game, simply because it all too accurately portrays a modern world conflict
Got to write a classic… Read More »
A genuine quote I heard today in a press conference. To be brutally honest, I don’t want to even think about the person in question and herpes, but I’m still trying to work out what a herpes heel actually is… In the meantime, though, I’ve been busy writing stuff. Like reviews stuff, including this one

I’m not sure about that song. I mean, it either implies that Bono’s been out nicking street signs, or that he’s hopelessly lost. Or possibly he wants to become hopelessly lost. I’m neither — at the moment — although I do feel rather like I’m a walking case study in staying awake through the re-application

A direct quote, that one, and unsurprisingly, a quote from me. You can hear the rest in this week’s Australian Macworld Weekend Edition Podcast: Episode 42 — the Meaning of Life: “MJCP talks to Tony Williams,Danny Gorog and Alex Kidman about Apple pricing policies, iPhone non-disclosure, Google’s Android/iPhone strategy, Bento 2, MagSafe and life on

What a daft lyric. I mean, it’s all very inspiring and all, and I’m sure given the Proclaimers’ generally energetic walking style that it’s highly aerobic to boot… but then the 1,000 mile trek just to fall over? She’s going to take one look at the sweaty, unconscious mess in front of her, and then
But I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more… Read More »
