I read with interest the news that there is to be a class action brought against Apple for allegedly allowing personal information gleaned from iPhones and iPads to be sold to advertisers. Apple is being sued sued over claims that applications for the company’s iPhone and iPad transmit users’ personal information to advertising networks without [...]

If like me you deliver a lot of presentations at conferences, you will realise how important it is that the speaker keeps to the time allotted, otherwise conference sessions and lunch breaks can drag on aimlessly. Thankfully, help is at hand with an iPhone and iPad app called Presentation Clock. UPDATE: Even Russian President Dmitry [...]

On my recent trip to Sydney, I picked up an iPad (around £100 cheaper in Australia given I could claim back the 10% GST as I was taking it out of the country, and it is not subject to the “cost of doing business in the UK” Apple tax). What has amazed me is that everyone [...]
