Foursquare is a bit like Gowalla was. it basically allows you to check in at different places as you visit them, and you get points if you visit them several times. The interesting spin though is that in some places you can get free things for checking in – for example theres a macdonalds near [...]

When you add your hotmail to your iPhone most people add it as a pop3 account – which is type other when you choose it. This is because when you type a hotmail address in there it figures out all the server information for you – its almost as if its designed to work that [...]

Siri and god.
So a friend of mine brought his wife an iPhone 4S as an early xmas present and he was showing it to me. I went straight to SIri and started asking questions – on the whole it did well but it doesn’t have location services so if you ask where something is it can be [...]

Gowalla to die
So Gowalla has been purchased by Facebook which means the service will be ramped down in January. Gowalla was a multi platform app that enabled you to create places on a map and then check in. You could see when other people had visited a place, read comments, keep track of your friends – I [...]

A surprising feature in QuickTime For MacOS
I found this by accident the other day when messing around with quicktime – you can use it to record screencasts. At a high resolution its creating quite big files but i may actually do one anyway. I created my blogsite logo this evening and am quite pleased with it although the process is fairly [...]
