I’ve just read one of the most ignorant pieces of writing about Apple’s iPhone. How people get to be senior editors of newspapers whilst understanding so little is beyond me.
But in the innumerable articles comparing the iPhone to existing phones from other suppliers, several fundamental points are being missed. For example, in an article in […]
From the BBC:-
"One of Damien Hirst’s trademark medicine cabinets has sold at auction for £9.65m, breaking the European record for work by a living artist. "

"The day before, one of Claude Monet’s water lily paintings, Nympheas, sold for £18.5 million at Sotheby’s, having been expected to fetch around £15 million."

The AFI have today voted for Citizen Kane as the greatest American movie ever made.
I saw Citizen Kane some time ago, and whilst it’s a good movie, it didn’t do a great deal for me. I’ve seen a whole heap of classics that I’ve enjoyed more: Casablanca, Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, His Girl Friday.
What I […]
Ian Botham is one of the greatest living Englishmen, fully deserving of his knighthood. Not just for his sporting prowess at Headingley, but for his character.

I downloaded a beta of Apple’s Safari browser which has been newly released for Windows. I’ve heard quite a lot about Safari from Mac fans, so eager to try it.
My first observation is that it looks terrible. I don’t know if this is how it looks on a Mac, but the contrast of the menu/address […]
