He has an interview with USA today which is worth a read. Kind of interesting that their tagging system lists the following too: FIND ... zdnetuk/10005225 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005225o-2000334309b,00.htm Mon, 30 Apr 2007 21:21:29 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) With general celebrations all round at the BBC for the successful roll out of their iPlayer some things appear to have been overlooked. Yes, after the consultation period they are going to have to support Macs. Except... if you read the small print... ... zdnetuk/10005223 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005223o-2000334309b,00.htm Mon, 30 Apr 2007 16:18:01 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) A somewhat recalcitrant Beeb Engineer by the name of Ashley Highfield announced at Cannes that due to a sustained voting campaign by Mac users they have relented and are reworking the iPlayer to work with Macs. We'll skip over the fact that the Beeb ap... zdnetuk/10005167 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005167o-2000334309b,00.htm Thu, 19 Apr 2007 18:23:50 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) Microsoft, according to the BBC, are attempting to leverage their monopoly by giving away their software at knock down prices. Bill's latest idea to save the world involves getting governments to buy pcs capable of running Windows to be eligible for t... zdnetuk/10005165 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005165o-2000334309b,00.htm Thu, 19 Apr 2007 13:35:35 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) Well it's not good news on the Apple front today. It's official. Leopard has slipped. Apple's statement reads: "iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can't wai... zdnetuk/10005140 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005140o-2000334309b,00.htm Thu, 12 Apr 2007 21:42:54 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) A lot of people are gunning for the Apple TV. Not just in the comments section of this blog. Apparently the quality is crap and doesn't do justice to your HD TV - this is kinda strange as Apple hasn't of yet released any Hi-Def content for it - but this d... zdnetuk/10005123 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005123o-2000334309b,00.htm Tue, 10 Apr 2007 16:21:07 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) I find it interesting that Apple got all the blame for the iPod not working well with Vista. The general impression from the web was that Apple hadn't bothered to carry out full checking out or really bother to fix things. We have had at least two iTun... zdnetuk/10005079 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005079o-2000334309b,00.htm Wed, 28 Mar 2007 11:16:52 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) Well yesterday was kinda entertaining. Not only did we get two postings from Mr T. about my reaction to his article it looks like he tidied up his original post. I was wrong about the cost of the XBOX 360. But I don't think the smaller machine that he ... zdnetuk/10005074 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005074o-2000334309b,00.htm Mon, 26 Mar 2007 19:46:33 +0100 mailroomuk@zdnet.com (J) Paul Thurrott does his expected hatchet job on Apple TV. We can't have the SuperSite for Windows being too Apple friendly. His conclusion is as expected... " Is the Apple TV really worth the $300? At this point, the answer, for most people, is no." ... zdnetuk/10005067 http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10005067o-2000334309b,00.htm Sun, 25 Mar 2007 16:11:46 +0100
