After a rather lengthy wait, the first issue of MacTheMag is out. OK, technically it’s the second issue, but that’s a long story for another day. Anyway, I’ve contributed fairly heavily to this issue, writing the cover story on iPhone GPS apps, the Mac Rumour roundup, the iPad guide, The MacTheCool pages (including an Apple […]

Wednesday kicks off with your choice of not one but two opinion columns. First up at MacTheMag, my musings on iPads, 3G reception and kitchen tables: MacTheBlog: iPad on the move: “If the Road Runner cartoon I’ve just watched is any indication, your iPad will get blown up, then fall down a cliff before forming
iPad go. iPhone 4 no go. Read More »
And you can judge for yourself today, with an audio appearance on MacThePodcast, in which I join host Matthew Powell and Lachy Groom discussing iPad cases, Mac Minis and why games developers should make games truly, hair-tearingly hard. It’s free to subscribe from the link below — what have you got to lose? MacThePodcast: The

Having spent most of last week in Adelaide (or en route to and from Adelaide, as followers of my Twitter stream might have been able to work out), I haven’t updated with all of last week’s published works. There were, to put it mildly, a few articles going up while I was heading west. First

It’s been a bit quiet on this blog this week. I wonder why that was? Oh… right. There was this: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utUo-HIhVKA[/youtube] While I was busy dealing with the fun and games of having no reliable mobile phone signal (thanks Vodafone!), an awful lot of content was being generated. First, at CNET.com.au, a slight departure from

One of the benefits of freelancing, so they say, is that you become your own boss. Nobody peeking over your shoulder, and endless days of getting up late, working in pyjamas and being hand-fed peeled grapes by dusky island maidens.

Isn’t that standard fashion advice? I technically shouldn’t know, having the apparent fashion sense of a three weak dead weasel. Unless decaying weasel corpses are “in” right now. It’s so hard to tell, really. While I ponder whether I should invest in a new wardrobe* you could check out my rather exhaustive (and exhausting) roundup

Sure, I could be writing about that new shiny Apple gadget. Undoubtedly, very shortly, I will be. But yesterday, when my latest article went up, I was still busy writing about Apple’s other shiny gadget, and the comparison against its shiny laptop line: MacTheBlog: MacBook vs iPad: Let Battle Commence: “I didn’t actually climb Mount
That’s paddling in the sense that it’s very wet right now, but also because, once again, I’m writing about a certain fruit company. First of all, there’s a blog I wrote for MacTheBlog last week that I completely failed to notice had already gone up. A tale of truckers, edges and app store approval processes:
Never let it be said that I don’t have some variety in what I write. Well, OK, two of today’s articles might just have something to do with Apple. But the other one doesn’t limit itself to just one kind of fruit. First up, at Hydrapinion, my stint standing in for Stephen Withers comes to
