Apple Leopard hack pointless fun for Windows
The Apple Leopard OS X operating system may be but a few days old officially, but already you can read how to install it on a PC. The obvious question this begs is why, because most Mac or Apple fans wouldn't touch a personal computer, seen as the domain of the devil Bill Gates and his Microsoft empire.

Super-size your HDTV
TVs took centre stage on the consumer side of Gitex in Dubai and the message was that they are getting bigger, thinner and brighter. Where plasma TVs not long ago ruled the 50inch and above flat screen market, that is no longer the case as LCDs quickly catch up.

Beware Web 2.0
When an anonymous person deleted the entire 'controversy' section from Nakheel's The Palm Wikipedia entry, it didn't take other internet users long to trace the IP address back to The Palm sales office. It took just a couple more seconds to revert the edit. It's an example of how Web 2.0 puts the internet firmly in the control of users, and politicians and corporations should ignore this at their peril.

Indecent exposure
Have you got a Facebook yet, or are you on Bebo? Do colleagues send you endless requests to join LinkedIn or Ryze? Millions of people worldwide use business and social networking sites, but they are not without risk. Your privacy and even your dignity can be compromised if you aren't careful with the personal information you reveal.

Sex and stickiness
Sex grabs people's attention. Whenever we post a news story on AME Info that has even the mildest sexual reference in its title, that story usually ends up in the day's Top 5 Most Read stories. 'SMS sex spam anger' 'Dubai shuts down indecent TV' - all these get far more clicks than a story about a bank merger or WiMAX.

Time to converge
So how converged are you? Have you thrown out your television set and switched to watching streaming TV and movies online, swapping your radio for podcasts and newspapers for their web versions? Or are you only just getting to grips with the concept of YouTube?

DRM: a pirate's dream
Digital rights management is great news for video pirates, online and offline. Nothing is more likely to drive people to Bittorrent sites or back alleyways than the notion that a movie they legally pay for is impossible to copy to their portable video player, or worse, will 'expire' after a certain amount of time. So it's encouraging to see a rising chorus against DRM, led by Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

iPhone euPhoria
Well, Apple finally unveiled its iPhone at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco. For some odd reason Steve Jobs won't allow a video stream of his keynote (even through paid subscription), so 'watching' the keynote has to be done via an irc chat channel or auto-updating website.
