January 9th, 2012 James Thornton

The rise to fame
If you were using a computer in [...]

Is Twitter destroying blogging?

September 2nd, 2009 Nicholas Mead

While browsing through the comments on OnSoftware, I discovered the blog of one commenter who had written a post called Twitter is killing my blog and it got me thinking. One of the main reasons for his preference for Twitter was that it’s an “easy avenue to be connected” that he felt “a sense of [...]

Top 10 software songs

August 19th, 2009 James Thornton

After I finally stopped laughing at Mashable’s round-up of the best songs about Facebook and Twitter, I’ve had time to compose my own list of the best software-related tunes. It’s amazing how many artists have felt compelled to write songs professing their love (or often their hatred) of applications and operating systems.  Here are the [...]

How To: Make Firefox open an external program

August 18th, 2009 Nicholas Mead

Have you ever clicked on a link in Firefox that’s supposed to open an external application but it can’t for some reason? I recently encountered this problem when clicking on a link for TVUPlayer for Mac. The error message reported:
Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because the protocol (tvu) isn’t associated with any [...]

Friday Timewaster: Frobot

July 31st, 2009 Jon Riggall

Two words: Robot + Disco.
If you’re still reading this, and not playing Frobot, you probably never will. Just in case I can convince the non robot and disco fans out there, this is a kind of shoot ‘em up. It’s free, and plays in your browser with Flash. You control the Frobot, on a mission [...]

Exclusive interview with Voddler’s co-founder

July 21st, 2009 Nicholas Mead

Those canny Swedes have been at it again. Following on from the launch of music service Spotify, Voddler is a new service where the focus is the screen rather than music. Voddler promises to offer a service similar to Spotify except with films and TV shows on demand.
Co-founder Mathias Hjelmstedt told OnSoftware:

June 23rd, 2009 Elena Santos

After reading dozens of articles about the wonders of Ubuntu and hearing some of my workmates constantly praising it, I was so curious to test it for myself that I couldn’t help it: I’ve downloaded the latest version of this popular Linux distro from their official website and I’m just about to install it.
