BBC iPlayer now available on a toaster 12:13pm on 01 Apr 2009 Breaking news - Croissant-site scripting exploit found. Causes display to show random porn sites. Home Secretary allegedly investigating (as prezzie for hubby).
N is for networking 10:12am on 30 Mar 2009 Your first mistake was to actually read the manual!

Connect the hand-me-down computer to your router using a pair of power line network adaptors ('home plugs') if the pesky machine's too far away to run a cable. Cost about 40-50 quid if you hunt out the bargains.

Don't leave another wifi router on the net just to satisfy the requirement for WEP because the WEP encryption scheme is well and truly cracked and hackers will soon be scrutinzing your BBC expenses for claims for 'adult' films.
Making the pipes faster 9:22pm on 16 Mar 2009 Are we really talking 'iPhone' here - or as the press release says "mobile data and voice applications"? In other words; a whole plethora of smartphones, PDAs, netbooks, laptops and, of course, the odd Blackberry and iPhone?

Is the term 'iphone' becoming the de-facto term for any data-capable phone? If so, will Apple ride the wave, or crash the party, Psion 'Netbook' style, in defence of their brand name?

There is life outside the iPhone (and Blackberry, for that matter) - maybe you need to borrow a phrase from the Radio Times and quickly add the footer: "Other data-enabled devices are available"
