After months of betas and subsequent pulling of said beta, Apple finally let Game Center loose on the world with the release of iOS 4.1 last week. We’ve all had some time to test it out, and now we finally have some games that take advantage of all the new APIs. A week later, [...]

Apple press conference – my predictions

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:12:04 +0000

As everyone on the internet seems to know, tomorrow is the day (hopefully) Apple puts the iPhone’s antenna issues to bed. Yes, they’ve tried it before but they didn’t QUITE get it right!

Keymote + Airfoil + Spotify = music around the house

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:16:07 +0000

Before I go any further, I’ll explain the way I listen to music these days.
