Despite my dislike of the Apple iPod when it was first released the iPod did have a fantastic interface and a sleek design. After Apple realised where the market was heading and moved into DRM free technology (The main reason I disliked the iPod) the iPod even began to appeal to me. Then the iPhone was released, another fantastic device.

Most devices plugged as iPod or iPhone killers tend to fail miserably, their interfaces are never as smooth or effective as they try to clone Apples design, they seem to… Continue Reading»

When Sony first announced their HD DVD format, otherwise known as Blu-ray they said it would be uncrackable for 10 years, minimum.  It does however seem that our friends at Skysoft had already cracked it in November, they were simply waiting to see which format won the war before releasing a new version of their software.
