A while back I wanted to automate updating my podcasts in iTunes. Up to that point, I had to remember to open iTunes and click the Refresh button. Some of my subscribed podcasts are released daily so If a few days had passed by since the last update I would find that I had missing [...]
On a recent edition of MacBites we discussed alternatives to Finder. Elaine’s pick was Path Finder, whilst mine was Forklift. Although I still do use Finder for basic file management operations, the main reason that I use Forklift is that it provides a dual-pane view.
I spend about 2 hours a day walking my dog. In order to ensure that this time is used effectively, I usually listen to a podcast on my iPhone. If it’s not raining, I’ll also use the phone to check email, send texts, surf the web and Twitter.
Gone are the days when a mobile phone was just a phone. I prefer to think of my iPhone as a mobile computing device. Excluding the applications that come as standard, I’ve got almost 40 apps on my phone. These are split over 4 screens.

Manchester may be the home of The Premiership and European Champions and also 2 Apple Stores, but today we travelled 35 miles down the M62 to be present at the opening of the Apple Store in Liverpool.
Liverpool may have won more European Cups than Man United but we have 2 Apples Stores… Thanks to Elaine for mocking up this photo of my Liverpool One Apple Store T-shirt
