An Apple iPad advert appeared during the US Oscars TV coverage.

Looks pretty nifty.

I expect we’ll see some of these adds in the UK once a release date has been confirmed.

Check out the add below:

Now all I need to do is work out how to justify buying one of these to my wife !

The Best Google Chrome Feature

3 March, 2010 | Daniel | No Comment

I’ve been using Google’s Chrome browser for a few weeks now and I’m slowly falling in love with it…

Before that I had always been a Firefox devotee.

But like a lot of users I found Firefox’s memory hogging inclinations to a bit distracting at times!

In fact that was one of the main reasons I started using Chrome.

As time goes on I am finding more and more thing to like about it, especially now that extensions are available for the Mac Beta!

However a really nice feature of Chrome is the ability to resize text input boxes on the fly (see the video below).

This is a really simple yet really nice bit of usability, one of those nice little touches that go a long way!

Are you using Google Chrome ?

Which feature do you like the most ?

Turn Your iPhone into a TV Remote with a RedEye Mini

I don’t know about you, but in my house our TV remote has mystical powers.

It can be right there for hours and then suddently… gone !

And almost impossible to find again, it’s gotta be some kind of magic… (or just my kids)

However I don’t seem to have the same problem with my iPhone, it’s never more that a few feet away from me, and if the kids go near it, they know that swift retribution will follow !

So this little device from RedEye looks just the thing to solve my remote control woes!

It simply plugs into the headphone socket on your device, leaving your dock connector open, and then beams out a limitless array of IR commands.

No news on availability in the UK, so if you see it let me know & I’ll do the same for you!

How Many Times Do You Tweet a Day?

26 February, 2010 | Daniel | No Comment

Facebook might be huge but these figures released from Twitter are astonishing!

C0B75039 B092 4A06 94C3 79000098269F How Many Times Do You Tweet a Day?

It’s the growth that is phenomenal!

Folks were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, we are seeing 50 million tweets per day—that’s an average of 600 tweets per second.

600 tweets per second, and 1400% growth, that a lot of tweeting!

Well done everyone!
