Finally Finally Finally…. I never regreted purchasing the Apple TV but now I have one reason why it is a must ! TV shows have now arrived on iTunes UK.
With full seasons of “Lost”, “Grey’s Anatomy” and more at your fingertips, you’ll never miss your favourites. Shop for TV shows on the UK iTunes Store and watch them on your Mac or PC. Or sync them to your video-enabled iPod and watch them on the go. All without sitting through a single advert.
This week we found that our usual FTP application had been upgraded and it was going to cost us $19 to upgrade to the latest intel version. Looking back I had numerous license keys and had upgraded an application that didn’t seem to change that much per upgrade. I decided to break free and try something new.
Panic’s Transit 3 offered a 15 day trail and by day ten I had it bought. Transmit offers a whole new FTP experience, favourite ftp servers is perfect if you manage a number of sites, dash drop allows you to drag files on to the Transmit icon and it even comes with a Transmit Widget !
