More wireless blues and traps for young players. For the last month or so, my wireless has been getting very flakey. So bad the internet keeps dropping out in the back half of the house, and the wireless network disappearing altogether. With younger families moving into the neighbourhood, it’s little surprise the number of wireless [...]
In the aftermath of Steve Jobs untimely passing, one of the most alarming articles I’ve read was one claiming 4 years of Apple product design had been left behind by Steve.

With iCloud, Lion and iOS 5 there’s a lot of excitement around for Apple fans right now. Anyone that’s been running the developer previews of Lion know there’s a lot of worthwhile features to look forward to.
