Photoshop crash report
April 15th, 2010

Apple gives Adobe the finger
April 14th, 2010
Now the fight gets a little more interesting.
In the red corner we have Apple. Champions of industrial design. Noted control freaks. And, frankly, one of the few companies pushing the boundaries in consumer technology at the moment.

Snow v Technology
January 12th, 2010
Unless you’ve not looked out of a window for the past two weeks, you can’t have failed to notice that the UK is in the midst of the worst snow and ice to hit the island for almost 30 years.
(You could of course also be from another country, so welcome to our little corner of digital Britain).
I remember the winter of 1981 extremely-well because that December in the middle of the peak of the worst weather, my family and I moved house, into a nice new home at the top of a rather steep hill.
