As some of you from Twitter may know, I tried to disable Windows Vista’s Desktop Window Manager for a few days to get used to the feel, and UI I am presented with on XP Pro, at work. I personally hate it, but it does its job, everything works seamlessly, and performance is through the roof! I have to say, if it weren’t for the eye-sore, OS X would be in trouble (cue Snow Leopard, designed to stop W7 wiping the floor with them). I’m drifting.

A question that has always haunted me, ever since founding my first blog, or even written my first article, has been a simple grammatical error seen all over the internet.

This is the point where most bloggers that don’t have a web developer at their disposal stumble. Great, I’ve got my shiny new Feedburner account, and decided to …
Many people have got the idea that Apple’s latest version of the iPhone (allegedly 3G) will begin to hit the stores shortly after Steve Job’s keynote at the Apple-hosted WWDC ‘08 (World Wide Developer’s Conference).
As I cannot, and do not wish to disprove such theories, this article is aimed at those being interested by the latest rumours of it being even earlier than these predictions, and to explain the possibilities of either.
