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.
Another day, another Apple patent story, but this time there's no sign of Samsung, Motorola or Google. Surely that cannot be? Yes, yes it can, actually. Wonders never cease!
Netflix today announced two new high quality video streams, with one featuring a whole extra for those who just can't get enough. Netflix has almost singlehandedly put the video store out of business, and with DVD and Blu-ray disc sales always under pressure from online content distributors, the streaming media company is seeking to re-double its efforts to stay ahead of the competition.
Want to see Windows RT on a smartphone? We know you do, that's why we're fairly sure this latest news will excite you just as much as it does us. Windows RT has been ported to the HTC HD2 smartphone. Honest!

If there's one certainty in life, especially in the world of technology, it's that someone somewhere probably thinks they can do whatever you do, but better. People think they would make a better job of running Facebook or Twitter. That they know how Google should move forward with Android and, sometimes, they even know how to write awesome tech articles. Who knew?!
It was just a few short days ago that we told you about former Black Eyed Peas frontman and general music legend Will.i.am's maiden entry into the murky world of iPhone accessories. Dubbed i.am+ (rolls right off the tongue?) and available only via Selfridges in London, the range includes two varieties of the same case that promises to help iPhone photographers take better pictures. We've heard that before though, haven't we?
It may be almost seven years old, but Microsoft's Xbox 360 shows no sign of being ready for the scrap heap. With plenty of huge titles released recently like Halo 4 and Black Ops II, the console is still going strong. So strongly, in fact, that it seems we just can't get enough of Microsoft's PlayStation competitor.
