You’ve got to hand it to the Russians, when it comes to music on the net, its bloody cheap! With the iTunes store not exactly available in Ireland until recently (at least not when I had started out in college), some of us went MP3 shopping in Russia through the likes of MP3Search and AllOfMP3…

Via BBC…. It seems that we won’t be getting an update to Windows until at least January 2007 as the new breaks this morning of another delay to delivery of Windows Vista – unless you’re a business customer that is. There will be a corportate edition of the new version of Windows available likely around…
Firefox 2.0 – Update
Just a little update post on this one. Reading Rob’s blog (Controlled By Remote) at lunchtime, he’s since downloaded and posted his notes on Firefox 2.0a with some screens as well… Nice one Rob…

Songbird : First Look
So I got to try Songbird last night, and while it looked great on the outside I’ll admit that I was disappointed at first use. Robbie’s been having problems with his installation and had to source additional dll files he didn’t have which didn’t come with the package at the time (the source code has…

Thunderbird 1.5 hits the net
Mozilla’s Thunderbird has hit the net today with version 1.5 of its popular free email client. I used Thunderbird for about six months as my mail client and was pretty pleased with it to be honest, though in saying that, I still haven’t used it in six months given my use of Microsoft Outlook in…
iTunes picks for you?
