Last week, we were treated to Apple's vision of the future - in particular the MacBook Air.I must say that I was wow'ed by the technology, but disappointed at the premium pricing. So needless to say, I shan't be putting my name on the pre-order list. From another viewpoint, nearly all Version 1 products - yes, even Apple's - tend to have bugs & glitches. So I'll wait. By a fantastic coincidence,

Awwww ....Before it had even reached the shops, the Foleo has been knobbled.Palm CEO Ed Colligan has this to say : ".... after careful deliberation, I have decided to cancel the Foleo mobile companion product in its current configuration and focus all of our energies on delivering our next generation platform ...."A Foleo II is hinted at, but I'll believe it when I see it. Or read about it on the

Just when I was putting my thoughts of owning a Macbook to the back of my mind, a colleague showed me the spiel for a forthcoming gizmo - the Foleo - from Palm.It looks looks like it is being received with mixed reviews. On the one hand, there's the good stuff : it's portable, it syncs with smartphones, it's got a good screen and keyboard, runs familiar Palm apps.On the other hand ... it won't do

Oh, it's early. 02:53 to be precise. I am officially a Creature of the Night. Well, for tonight anyway. Late last evening, I found a cough mixture and took a slug - then discovered that it was the non-drowsy variety. Shit. Add that to an active, non-rested mind (too much buzzing around in there at the moment - need to dump it out & organise - see it all in front of me) and bingo ! A wonderful

Been around for quite some time and still ongoing.Should I fill each minute with sixty seconds worth of race well run ?Or should I sit back, relax and let my mind have a bit of room to reflect for a change ? (Buddhism)I tend toward the former, not wishing to waste any of my spare time.Reading, trying to write, trying to get ahead on some studies, running, bicycling, DIY, gardening, socialising
