Steve Jobs Stanford University Speech

Although this speech was made in 2005, I’ve only just seen it. It has a few computing references, but is mainly about life and lessons in life. Its very interesting and definitely worth watching.

Want 6Gb RAM For Your MacBook or MacBook Pro?!

Posted on November 7, 2008 | Leave a comment

Its the one thing in the Apple laptop range which I wish was different; that RAM didn’t max out at 4Gb. Well, Other World Computing (OWC) can now supply 6Gb of RAM for the latest and previous generation of MacBooks and MacBook Pros!

US Elections Slideshow

Posted on November 6, 2008 | Leave a comment
The closest I could get to Chicago was Knightsbridge.
I popped into the Chicago Rib Shack in Knightsbridge to cover the reaction of US citizens and Londoners to the results of the US elections.
It turned out to be quite a moving assignment. To see so many US citizens who were unhappy with the current government and wanting so desperately a change. I heard so many people say that they were ashamed of being American and that so much of the world disliked their country. After Barack Obama was announced the President Elect, that they were now so very proud was very touching.

US Elections & The Power Of Photography

Firstly, my congratulations to America and their new President Elect; its superb news.

I covered the reaction of US Citizens watching the results come in at the Chicago Rib Shack in London’s Knightsbridge. It was a very moving assignment…more of which, later!
I was having a look at some links to powerful images and their role in the election on “A Photo Editor”. Of particular note are Platon’s images in The New Yorker and also a set at The Huffington Post.
