'Free' Android Apps, Tiny Projectors And… Eighty-Three Hours Of Tech?
At Hydrapinion this week, my month long series on switching from iOS to Android continues, looking at what it takes to make a ‘free’ application on either platform, by way of the Soup Dragons. Can an iPhone user switch to Android for a month? Part 3: There’s Free, and then there’s ‘Free’ “Ahem. Where was

Expressive Mice, Telstra Broadband Deals and Yet More Android Musings
It’s been a very busy week… and it shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Over at CNET, I’ve reviewed a mouse. As I explain in my review, it’s just a mouse… Microsoft Express Mouse: “Back in the late 1980s, Madonna insisted that it was important that you “Express Yourself”. A year earlier,

A Droidally Different Viewpoint & A Bluetooth Tongue Twister
Over at Hydrapinion, I’ve started a series on switching from iPhone to Android. Sure, it’s been done before — this is not a unique idea in and of itself — but I’m curious to see what my reaction will be shifting from just reviewing Android phones — where I’ll extensively test a unit, typically with

Taxicabs, Broadband Sites & Smartphones Made Of Chocolate?
It’s been a busy day today. Too busy, actually. So, what have I been up to? At Hydrapinion, my Carry column looked at how taxi drivers view GPS: Taxicab Confessions: “I was in the back of a cab yesterday — no, before you start wondering, this isn’t one of those kinds of stories…” At PC

Making The Big Money And Dropping The Thin Notebooks
It’s all about the money, apparently. Except if you’re a journalist; while it’s an intellectually rewarding profession, it’s rarely what you’d call genuinely lucrative. Which is why, in my idle moments, I dream up get-rich-quick-schemes, like the one outlined in this week’s Hydrapinion: How to build your own Android Smartphone and MAKE MILLIONS!* “Just follow

Tablets, Privacy, Flips And My Fifteen Seconds Of Fame
As Road Warrior Animal used to say… Wooah…. what a rush. A spectacularly busy week, in fact. First off, a couple of TV appearances. On the ABC, I appeared on “7:30” discussing the Sony PSN hack: Hack Attack: The security breach on the Sony gaming network and what it means for cyber safety. And then

All Things M: Mega, Meandering And Ms Tate…
This week’s Hydrapinion covers my personal thoughts on the fact that my iOS devices are watching me right now, by way of Catherine Tate and a dated catchphrase reference: Apple’s iPhone Snooping: Am I Bovvered? “Does codswallop come in smaller portions than loads?” Then at CNET.com.au, a colour LED printer that’s not exactly fast: Fuji

Books and other retro items
This week’s Hydrapinion delves into the tricky question of what to do with redundant technology that still works, by way of a lucky find: Old portable tech. It’s kitschy and fun in the short term, but what do you do with it? “I guess it’s one of the prices we pay for technological innovation, that

Mega Flipping Out And Going Radio Gaga
Bigger, better, faster, more; it’s a constant refrain in the technology industry. Except, of course, if you’re canning a product. This week’s Hydrapinion looks at Cisco’s decision to can the Flip: Cisco Flips Out: “I’ve got to admit, when I read about Cisco’s decision to cull the Flip line of personal camcorders, I was a
