Seeing as I work in technology, that obviously means I’m the first port of call for friends/relatives with any kind of computer issue.
A couple of weeks ago, one of my wifes friends asked if I could take a look at her lappy – a Dell D610.
She hadn’t used it for a few years as she [...]

Reasons to Jailbreak #1
My foray into the world of jailbroken iPhones was due to one very simple app – MobileScrobbler.
It simply hooks into the iPod functionalit and submits the Artist, Track and Album information to my Last.FM profile. Having been an avid, subscribing scrobbler for nigh on three years now, I can’t bear to listen to anything [...]

So, after following the instructions HERE I’m back down [...]
