Apple has released new imacs, mini, macbook, oh and a mouse

So there has been a flurry of mac news as of late, but i have just been far too lazy too post, but anyway here they are. The magic mouse is a new single button multi touch mouse that as far as reviews are concerned 'ok' citing it not really being big enough for multi touch, but is ok.

The new mac minis have had a slight spec bump and a new machine added to their ranks, a mini server. Basically a mac mini running osx server, it sacrifices its optical drive for a second hdd, how wonderful.

The new macbook is unibody plastic, so no more splintering corners its also had a spec bump so its in line with the lowest macbook pro.

And finally the imac, apples flagship computer has been updated to include Intels newest CPU's the i5's and i7's and a beefier GPU.

I still don't recommend buying one, but theres the info, hit the read link and check the apple store for more info.

Orange Iphone date, the 10th of november

Yeah the orange date has been confirmed as the 10th, however things initially will not be cheaper as orange intends to 'add value' so gutted in that respect. Also Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U should be carring the iphone for orange aswel, no real suprises here. Remember Vodafone gets it next year aswel, then FINALLY we might get some real competition.

Ati have released their 5000 series of GPUs

So yeah sorry im late with this but i don't get paid of this so 'gis a break'.

So ATI have released the :

ATI Radeon

HD 5870

HD 5850

HD 5770 and 5750

All of which are fully Directx 11 compatible and are pretty snappy. Although for the massive price increase of the top end cards there is not a great deal of improvement over say a 4890, so maybe your better off getting one of those on the cheap?

Anywho have some read links and drool worthy pics.

Cheap Windows and other Microsoft software for students and staff!

Here's the short version: Bash this link to get windows 7 Home Premium OR Professional for just £30. http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/studentoffer/

OR if you go to any of these places:

School	Department	City	Country	Software Center
SSAT-Outwood Grange College	NULL	Wakefield	UNITED KINGDOM
WAKEFIELD COLLEGE	Information Technology	Wakefield	UNITED KINGDOM
Woodkirk Specialist Science High School	Information Technology	Wakefield	UNITED KINGDOM
Zenos - Wakefield Academy	NULL	Wakefield	UNITED KINGDOM

You can get most MS software for FREE through MSDNAA. Contact your IT guys for info and check this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/academic/default.aspx

The msdnaa offer is normally for staff aswel so check it out!

And now for the people that like to read more stuff:

You can get windows 7 Home Premium OR Professional for just £30. This looks to be an ungrade version but the small print says you can do custom installs, so you can do a loverly fresh install!
But if your still rocking XP you will HAVE to do a custom install, vista users can upgrade if they want, but i would never advise it, you will have a must faster system with a clean install.

Also on that first link is Office Ultimate 2007 for £39.50 again a steal for what it normally goes at.

For this offer you will need to have a valid .AC.UK If your staff and you have one of these then i don't see why you cann't be sneaky and pretend your a student;)


So if your up for some cheap or in some cases free software, get clicking, and i would DEFINATLY advise getting windows 7, its fantastic, faster, easier and safer than XP or Vista.
