Found via download.com, this great blog post has some brilliant photos of a Titanium Powerbook G4 that was used every day for the last 5 years until it ‘died’ recently.
My Powerbook is in much better condition than this (I didn’t use it every day though, and haven’t quite had it 5 years) but it still [...]

Having not been to Ibiza or anywhere sunny infact this summer I sometimes try to liven up boring household chores with music that whisks me away to such places.
Well my iTunes collection is riddled with ‘Beach House’ tracks. So while I was packing DVD’s and books into boxes this afternoon I listened to Eric Kupper. [...]

I sometimes do wonder about Google AdSense. I’ve experimented a bit with adverts on the menori swiki. (The swiki is the search box and search cloud at the top right of the site). So when clciking on ‘Bonnie Bailey’, for example, you’re taken to search results that I’ve customised for Bonnie.
On the left of the [...]

I saw a link “from the blogosphere” on the BBC Technology news site about MySpace. In the article Henry Blodget mentions that analysts are predicting MySpace could be worth anything between $10B and $20B dollars within a few years.
MySpace contrinues to grow (well, lets say registered users) at a rate of something like 250,000 [...]

Well, rumour is that the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl versions for the Nintendo DS Lite have almost sold out completely in Japan. 2 million copies of the games have been snapped up by frenzied fans of all things pika-Pikachu.
I’m looking forward to the release of Diamond and Pearl. It’s beena long time since [...]

The BBC have reported that Intel have opened a competition to build a sexy PC. The PC design will be judged on style, functionality and features. Entrants are encouraged to “think outside of the box”. Ha. They’re taking this very literally aren’t they?
Well style, functionality and features are all what industrial design is about. No [...]

iWoz is the biography of Steve Wozniak, the inventor of the first Apple computer. I’ve read most of the stories about the creation of Apple Computer. The Little Kingdom and Infinite Loop being the main ones. This is the first book by one of the guys who was actually there though, one of the Steve’s. [...]

There’s a tremendous thread brewing on Neowin as a result of news that Microsoft is likely to produce a new Windows Live product version of Microsoft Works. The posting itself is fine but it’s the comments that are posted that are of more interest.
The comments range from “no way am I going to store my [...]

I commented previously on the lack of the search functionality that Steve demo’d with the launch of the new 5G iPods in firmware 1.2. Well threads on the official Apple forums have confirmed this for me. This has been labeled ‘a disgrace’ by some and although I’m a wee bit disappointed it’s not a show [...]

Since upgrading the firmware on my 5G iPod I’ve noticed (only twice) a stutter when playing some tracks that were imported from CD. I’ve also noticed that a few visitors to menori.com have found the site by searching for ‘ipod stutter’ on Google so this appears to be a widespread issue. I was scpetical that [...]
