0Comments iPhone 4 UK, will you even try?
As I am sure that you are fully aware the iPhone is due to be released very soon and we are still not completely aware of what we should expect. Apple has been very clever in the UK and allowed 6 networks to stock the iPhone (Orange, Vodafone, T-mobile, o2, Tesco and 3). But unknown to everyone Apple began to sell the iPhone directly on their website, not on a contract but SIM free. This allows owners to choose their network rather than than buying into an expensive contract. I believe that I am not the only one who is a little fed up of networks slowly announcing information about the iPhone 4. While some people will simply pop into their existing networks store and grab a new shiny iPhone some of us will stuggle to get hold of one due to stock shortages after Apple selling 600,000 on the day they began to take pre-orders, and that is just the people that managed to use their broken website.
As it stands all the networks are giving different information and it seems that Apple are very much in control again.

0Comments Computer HDD RAID Purchase
After having problems with my hard drives I have decided that it is time to look into a bit of security for my data. I have decided that I want to able to store allot more DVD’s onto my machine (before you ask, yes legally). But how can I have a quick OS and large amounts of data that is safe? This question has taken many hours of thinking and research but I think I have finally come to a conclusion.
I realised that if a problem arises then re-installing windows may not be such a bad thing, after all its good to do now and again and doesn’t take very long when you have all your drivers and software installs to hand.
