Lovely Apple stuff!

Brief visit to the Apple Store yesterday. Got my hands on the new 24" iMac - fantastic display.

Also examined the new iPod Nano, it looks as if Apple have put my iPod mini in the washing machine and it has shrunk! Out goes the shiny plastic and back comes anodised aluminium and curved edges. Trouble is now she's seen it my daughter wants one for Christmas!

Spooks

Spooks is back! Harry Pearce and his team, brilliant stuff!

Broadband upgrade

Today NTL upgraded my 1Meg BB to 2Meg, FOC. Great news, especially the corresponding increase in upstream speed which was extremely paltry.

Forza Schumi!

Another great win for Schumacher! Now there's a serious chance of Schumi beating Alonso to the championship. Hope he gets championship number 8, that will be a tough act to follow. I'm also looking forward to the Kimster joining Ferrari, a worthy successor to Michael, Ferrari has all the makings of a great team again next year!

Apple battery recall

I registered my iBook with the battery exchange programme on 28 August but I wasn't expecting anything for a while, Apple said delivery in 4-6 weeks, after all. My new battery arrived by UPS today, so well done Apple!

Who is the mole in the London Circus?

Tonight George Smiley reveals the identity of Gerald the mole.

Yes, I've been avidly watching Sir Alec in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy on BBC4. I watched it the first time round in 1979 and Le Carre is one of my favourite authors. Great stuff!
