My Blog – it has been a really busy week with the new theme working really well, and the speed significantly better. I have also started to get a more articles submitted from some friends that I have made through the site which is great. Matt posted some excellent advice on buying from eBay and shared with us his joy with the MacBookPro he picked up. Mark wrote an interesting piece on Firefox, which has got me looking at Camino.
I also picked up my first ever sponsor MyMacGames
Reviews – a busy week. A bit like London buses, they all seemed to come to completion at the same time! I am really impressed with SoundStudio3 a good all rounder of an application which is perfect for someone like me. I would like to say more about the v-moda headphones, but my wife stole them. She loves them, and I thought they were really good the few times that I have been able to get my ears on them. The latest version of Yep seems to be an improvement, and at least no one got mad at me this time.
Apple News – Mac priced up the new 8 Core Mac Pro – $16k for a Mac!!!!!. We have spoken before about the price differences between countries but Adobe are really pushing it this time with a 130% mark up in the UK over the US.
My Projects – Haven’t had time!!!!!
One More Thing – RSS feeds! I was horrified with how many accumulated on afternoon when I went ‘missing in action’ so on Tuesday I am going to let them all build up and see how many I get in a day. I would love to hear from people on their volume!
