AppZapper proclaims itself as the application uninstaller that Apple forgot about when it was creating Mac OSX. And the truth is that they are probably right!

Recently, whilst having to hard reset my Sony-Ericsson mobile phone - a w850i in fact - I have to quickly find a way to backup my sim and mobile contacts to my Apple, Mac OSX based machine to safeguard against their loss during the full restore.
The solution I came up with to do the backup [...]
Del.icio.us has been my networked repository for links and web-based stuff I’d like to flag for some time now, but I recently took part in the Evernote beta and am moving ship.

Given the way I sit in bed and work, my wrist would frequently start hurting when I used the laptop trackpad. This pain would then, rather annoyingly, follow on throughout the day [...]
