What’s the best way to showcase your open-source application? Stage an Earthquake? Sounds a bit drastic doesn’t it, but the first thing that most knowledge conscious kiwis do when the big one hits is head for the GeoNet site. Not only is it functionally simple, but its built on an open source [...]
Following on from my previous post, it seems that the rumours are heating up that Apple are in negotiations to ‘rent out’ movies through iTunes and Apple TV.
At NZ$498 the Apple TV offering could be considered a serious alternative to a service such as - especially now that other Digital TV options are now available [...]
I’m in the middle of a minor dilemma.
In conjunction with my son, we’re putting together the guts of an idea we’ve played with for a while now. It has some wide-reaching possibilities for our target audience, and we’re certain that it’ll catch on quite quickly.
