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 [...]
My main role at the moment is as vendor programme manager for a key New Zealand security application. Over the past few months I’ve had to overcome a number of hurdles; both with the customer and within my own organisation. This isn’t news to other technical project managers out there, its just par [...]
I migrated to a mac a few weeks ago and am loving the experience. I still have a pc in the house, and always will, but you’ve got to love the mac experience.
To compliment the style that is Apple, I also purchased one of the nifty little wireless keyboards, and a mighty mouse. Neat little [...]

With Mike’s presentation committed to memory, I’ve set off on a adventure with my son. We’re going to [...]
