    Recommend a decent umbrella?

    I decided to go on a quest to find the ultimate umbrella earlier this year as I had tried so many before and they had all been rubbish when faced with the cruel scottish wind. I had tried expensive fulton umbrellas... none have lasted... in the end I was buying a number of £1 poundland umbrellas...

    What do do in Berlin for a first timer to Germany?

    When you visit Germany you *have* to go and buy a Döner over there. Different league to the UK, proper turkish Dönerkebaps using fladenbrot (quarter of a round awesome turkish bread)- don't forget the chilli sauce! :) Oh and dont forget to stock up on the haribo (tons of awesome varieties...

    What newsreader for the mac

    Time to pimp the best thing since sliced bread! Once you go sabnzbd you never go back :D Sabnzbd is a daemon that runs in the background and control it via your web browser. Best thing is, it uses nzb's, auto pars *and* unrars! It really saves so much effort when you get used to it. I have...

    anyone been to dublin recently??

    I had a day free there a couple of months back when i was over there for work, it is expensive, but you should do it on £75 if you're selective. I normally don't go on tour busses and prefer going round and finding areas by myself, you never know what you will find, but as I only had a day i...

    Burning Software

    yep, Toast and Burn are probably the two best burning progs for OSX, although check out Disco! I like it for the awesome burning smoke effect when you burn a cd :)

    Newsleecher replacement

    What you need is SABnzbd for OSX :D I used so many usenet clients to find one i was happy with and to be fair, i havn't found one which is a good as newsleecher. SABnzbd for osx is basically a daemon running in the background, you connect to it via your browser, load up your nzb files, it can...

    Macbook or 15" Macbook Pro for web design??

    Macbook will be perfect for what you want to do m8. A lot of people say just go Pro, which i would reccomend if it was your only screen. As you will be designing on a 24" you eliminate that problem :) Go 2Gb with a large hd and you'll be fine, PS, DW, Illustrator works very fast on my Core Duo...

    I use an awesome wee prog called album art thingy. If you have a large selection of music, it rocks! you have it running in the background, load up itunes and when you double click on an album without art, it searches for it and adds it automatically (for the whole album if you want, set it in...

    Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse - Worth it?

    Personally, i love the keyboard, i would have to say its one of the best quality keyboards i have ever used. I've got the older white one though for my mac mini. The new one is really nice as well, i would upgrade if the wireless one was full size! :) The mighty mouse really is a marmite mouse...

    Anyone been to Hungary recently?

    :D I lived in Romania for a while and loved it, prefered it far more than Hungary, at least Romanian is easier to speak than Hungarian! I could never get my head round it :) You'll be fine, it depends where you're staying. In a hotel, they will probably cater for a lot of different styles, so...

    when i reinstall osx, i do a custom install (when you install, cant remember exact button name, but on the lower left on the screen after you choose the mac hd iirc) and take out all the progs i dont need, like garageband etc. I also take off all the printer drivers apart from epson (wouldnt use...
