WWDC…. and I’m on my way out!

9 06 2008

0

WWDC’s on. Steve Jobs is on stage, and I forgot and went ahead and made an appointment for 7!!! Argh… so I’m now off out to F5 Engadget on my iPhone in a bar instead! :p.
Here’s hoping that whatever new iPhone they announce will be available in Apple stores to be cracked like old [...]

about this blog
mtj
My name is Chris Maddern and I'm a Computer Science student at The University of Bristol in the UK.
This blog is sort of an outlet for all of the thoughts that I have on a day-to-day basis that are too geeky for 'normal-outlet' in every day life. I hope you enjoy, and follow me on twitter (chrismaddern)

Windows Vista + Windows Onecare = A girl’s best friend?

29 03 2008

0

In a desperate attempt to replace Beach House Barbie on top of the most wanted list for young girls toys, Microsoft has (apparently) decided to grace its Japanese customers with a Pink-boxed bundle of Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Live Onecare.

The competition commission should be interested, as they are blatantly using their supremacy in [...]

Apple’s EULA Paradox

28 03 2008

0

Today Neowin reported on a slight paradox in the Apple EULA for Safari which states “…may be installed on one Apple-branded computer”.
A slight irony considering the recent controversy regarding Apple’s pushing Safari to all (now EULA-violating) iTunes users.
Made me laugh…

Brand Awareness

27 03 2008

0

There was once a time that you (I would say ‘I’, but alas, I’m not old enough) could go to a store and purchase a pair of Wharfedale speakers and know that you were getting a quality piece of audio equipment. This was the same day that you could also purchase a Sony television [...]

Jason’s Andrew Keen interview

27 03 2008

0

Edit: Event over: it was interesting, and I agree with Andrew Keen’s views although he didn’t come across very well and was destroyed by some Mahalo staff who pointed out the nonfactual nature of some of the ‘facts’ in his book.
Jason has Andrew Keen on his uStream for a lunch interview. It should be a [...]

I didn’t mean to steal it!

27 03 2008

Hmm… I googled ‘blogitech’ and realised that it’s the name of the official blog by Logitech. This blog has nothing to do with Logitech, but do you think I should keep the name, or change it?
Let me know what you all think….

Proof that good ideas are scarce…

26 03 2008

0

It was once famously said that ‘everything that could be invented, had been invented’.
I found this idea to be ridiculous and we have since proved it to be so; this was over a hundred years ago I believe. However, if this were ever to come close to having a believer, it could be me and [...]

Work away from home…

26 03 2008

0

For the next few weeks I’m staying with my family and because it was for more than a few days, and I have quite a lot of work to do, I figured that I’d bring all my hardware with me. Also, how could I not keep you all updated!?
I now have my rig set up [...]

Why wordpress is so great.

25 03 2008

0

Like many students, I got given free hosting by Microsoft under their ‘dreamspark’ initiative. It’s a great idea, but the service is unfortunately so crippled that all it did was encourage me to go and hire a linux server and a domain! :s.
It will only execute ASP.NET code from the main folder, getting a CMS [...]
