Read MoreJust the other day a sudden realisation struck me while I was scrolling through my photo library on my iPhone. Although I now had one of the most advanced camera phones in the world I was confounded by the fact I had not appeared to have used it a great deal. I take a short trip to London to change that.
Read MoreFollowing our discussion on the Mac & Forth Show Podcast over the last two weeks it appears many of our listeners are also losing interest in the relentless stream of diatribe they experience when using their social media platforms of choice, the main culprits being Facebook and Twitter.

Read MoreToday Mark Gurman over on Bloomberg has reported that Apple is testing a new Apple TV capable of streaming content for UHD-TV's, or as most folks know them, 4K TV. I think the more shocking story would be if Apple 'wasn't' working on this.
