OK, so maybe I am turning into a total Apple fan boy... I got an iPhone 3GS 32GB and I'm loving it!

The iPhone is so much more than a phone, and unlike other phones, the non-phone features are easy to use! This is due to the unparalleled GUI that Apple have provided.

There really is an app for everything in the iTunes App store, I'm using the phone to SSH into vorax, email, IM, facebook, twitter, genealogy research, games and loads more.

Farewell Sony Walkman phone... hello happy-apple-phone :)

How awesome is Apple...?

Answer: very.

I've been using a 15" Macbook Pro at home as my main machine for a few months now, and I'm very pleased. I don't think I'll ever buy a PC for personal productivity ever again! I use the machine for Java development, graphics work, web development, writing (as in a book), desktop publishing (as in some documents in a word processor and the odd flow chart), games (yes games), photo editing, music (both listening to and creation of).

I've bought a MacBook Pro. I must say, I think I'm a Mac-fan in the making. So far the platform has proved intuitive, reliable, fast and extremely well designed and thought out by the Apple crew.

I'll keep you posted on developments, but I must say my Pc is getting far less use!

So there I was pondering the wife's new PS3 and browsing the features and I spy a media server search?!?!? I thought... whoa, that looks fun, I wonder what sort of protocol it runs on I run SAMBA on Vorax with a big folder of shared media for Clair and I to use as it is, so I thought... ok, hit search... wait... nothing found, doh.

So here I am, updating my computer again when I see the usual sky-falling-in security message from the windows update tool...

A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system running the Microsoft .NET Framework and gain complete control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

...and it gets me thinking, wasn't .NET sold to the world as the new and improved secure platform.
