Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
There's a certain voyeurism that goes along with sharing screenshots of home screens. In fact, we're as guilty as anyone in that regard after our post yesterday which showed the home screens of the RP team's phones. That post proved as popular as we knew it would, and there are even web sites that are aimed at sharing what tech celebrities have on their home screens, and we love them as much as everyone else.
There's a new service in town that hopes to make our hotel room-buying experience a more informed affair, especially if functional Wi-Fi is high on your list of priorities.
Destiny, the new game by the people behind Halo, Bungie, is currently in the midst of a public beta. The early version that is currently playable lets gamers create their own character and then go on some multiplayer killing sprees against not just computer-controlled AI, but also other gamers. Until now, the beta has been of the closed variety but now it's open to just about anyone, so no invite code is required.
We're as eager to get our hands on a watch made by Apple as anyone else, but it seems that some are just a little too eager for their own good after a new Jimmy Kimmel Live spot took to the streets in order to see if it could fool people into thinking they were being shown the as-yet unannounced iWatch.
We'll readily admit to not being the most stylish group of people around, but if you don't suffer from the same inability to dress yourself properly and also happen to like your music, then you're going to want to check out this rather cool hoodie.
As the iPhone 6's announcement and release are drawing closer by the day, rumors have very much centered around screen sizes and the hardware that will encase Apple's bespoke internals. Today though, the aptly named 'The Information' has published a report that brings the news back to a story that simply will not die.
They say that time stands still for no-one, and at this time of year we're pretty sure that most Apple engineers would agree wholeheartedly. As we slip ever nearer the expected September release date for the iPhone 6, the leaks are beginning to gather a pace that those in Cupertino simply can't hope to outrun.
Apple hasn't even managed to get the iPhone 6 out the door yet, but Samsung has already begun poking fun at not just the phone, but those lining up to buy one, too.
With its MacBook Pro lineup tightly tied to Intel's chip release schedule, Apple will be pleased to learn that the chip maker has launched an update to its Haswell line of CPUs.
