I just need to get something off my chest. Ever since August, and the purchase of my MacBook Air the number one comment that I’ve had has been:

“Is that the one without a CD drive? Why did you get that? You can’t even watch DVDs”.

Yes, how observant of you. Have a cookie. If I wanted to watch DVDs on my computer I would have made a sensible move and purchased a computer that has an optical drive. I didn’t buy the computer unaware that it didn’t include one. Please don’t insult my intelligence by assuming such things. There’s a lot more to using a computer than watching movies.

iTunes. iTunes. iTunes. I buy my music from iTunes, I buy television shows from iTunes, I rent and buy movies; from iTunes. Problem solved. Move on.

That is all.

For my UK readers out there, Top Gear, one of the best programs on TV (along with Dragons Den) is now on iTunes.

Each episode of the new series will be purchasable eight days after it’s aired – an episode is up on iPlayer for seven days y’see – and the whole of series 10 is also available from right now.

Enjoy! I will.

If you live in the UK then you may be familiar with the BBC’ television program Dragon’s Den – one of the best things on the box at the moment.

One of the Dragon’s I have always enjoyed hearing about has been Duncan Bannatyne. He’s quite the character, and only hearing tidbits about his success I decided I wanted to learn more. So, last weekend I purchased the audio version of his autobiography from iTunes.

I found his story not only informative but entertaining. Within the book you learn how he managed to turn around business’ in a relatively short period of time, how he got into his charity work (for which he earned an OBE) and some of his personal traits that make him so successful.

If you have a bit of spare cash, or iTunes credit then I highly recommend you either pick up the book or download a copy from iTunes. It makes a highly enjoyable read.
