My, I’ve been a busy boy this week. But enough about me. What do you think of me? Before you answer, consider this week’s offerings, which have been keeping me up late at nights. Mostly because that’s when I’ve been able to work this week. First up, this week’s Hydrapinion, which pits Nintendo’s glossy 3D-capable handheld […]

An opinion column, a review and a quick video. Or, in other words, I’m rather busy. First up, at Hydrapinion, I’ve mused on the ethics of recording acts in concert, by way of Harvey The Wonder Hamster: Weird Al, Copyright and Camera Confusion: “Have I missed a common consensus about what’s acceptable with portable gadgets
Shiny phones, shiny drives and… Weird Al? Read More »
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

I wrote the other day about how my freelancing work seems to come in waves of products. One thing I’ve seen no shortage of recently is media streaming boxes. Loads of them, all largely doing the same thing. After a while, it becomes hard to muster up enthusiasm unless they do something either a little

Let’s see how far I can take this alliteration thing, shall we? A bewildering and beautiful bevy (a barrage, one could say) of brilliantly scribed features await your consideration today. Broadband to begin, at PC & Tech Authority: Internode cuts plans down to keep things “Easy” “Sixty different Internode plans bite the dust while add-on

Where the heck did the year go? Oh. That’s right. Working. Slaving away at the nouns and the verbs, twisting them to my will. For example, at CNET, I’ve just given the major browsers a good old fashioned going-over. Browser battles: IE vs. Firefox vs. Chrome vs. Opera vs. Safari “We’ve taken a look at
Browser Wars, MVNOs And The Curse Of The USB Key… Read More »
It’s all in a day’s work for an in-demand technology journalist, really. You should see what it’s like around here when I get really busy.* First up, CNET.com.au has a review of a nice product that doesn’t seem to have a particular niche in mind. Hitachi LifeStudio Mobile Plus: “Hitachi’s Mobile LifeStudio has an interesting

Musings on good and bad products permeate today’s offerings. First of all, there’s my contribution to a group article over at PC Authority on the worst products ever: The worst products we’ve ever reviewed… “You’ve probably never heard of the Fish PC. There’s good reason for that.” Then at Hydrapinion, the bad product matrix spins
This Is Your Product. This Is Your Product Under The Reviews Hammer. Read More »
This week’s Hydrapinion looks at the complexity of mobile data pricing. Not a new theme to explore per se, but one that was brought up at a launch this week, and one that’s never irrelevant anyway: Why does mobile data have to be so confusing? “Short answer, for those who are time-poor today: So that

This week’s opinion columns are both rather Tablet-centric. First up, at Geekspeak, an overview of the iPad, Galaxy Tab and T-Touch Tab: Which Tablet Is Right For Me? “There is finally a modicum of choice in the Tablet space…” Then at Hydrapinion, I’m picking a fight with Steve Jobs. Sure, he’s a master of the
