Here are links to several of my TechRadar articles from the last couple of years or so - there are plenty more online at the website itself - you can see the very latest stuff I've written here.

ARM vs Intel: the next processor war begins
"It was a good CES for Intel. Sandy Bridge is out and the performance is ace. But it was a great CES for ARM. The Cambridge-based company didn't even need to do anything. Microsoft came to them.Microsoft's announcement- while not a complete surprise - means we'll see next-gen tablet devices and even more efficient netbooks running undefined Windows-based operating systems on ARM-based SoC silicon as well as that of Intel and AMD."
Windows 8 could make you rethink buying iPad 3
"Let's make something clear. I love iOS. I use it every day. But now more details on Windows 8 have emerged, Microsoft's new OS could pose a very real challenge to Apple's tablet supremacy as well as the exponential growth of Android."

Opinion: AOL's great day at the office
"Bebo has some impressive market positions. It is strong in the UK, and is ranked number one in Ireland and New Zealand, and number three in the U.S.
And if that doesn’t sway you into thinking it’s a great move for AOL, what about this: 'users are heavily engaged and view an average of 78 pages per usage day [every 24 hours of use].' Wow."
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
"We simply have to deal with the fact that sites change, features come and features go, instead of defaulting to our first reaction of being overly critical. If the response to the Beeb’s redesign is anything to go by, it’s something we all need to work at."
Why Windows XP is the OS that refuses to die
"A casually dressed man called Luke with spiky hair and rolled up sleeves gave me the idea for this blog. He's one of the many reasons why Windows XP simply won't lay down and die a blue and green death."
Hands on with the BBC iPlayer - on the iPhone!
"So the Beeb is to spend time encoding special 516Kbps streams for the iPhone and iPod touch. And quality is the main reason for that. The flash content isn’t amazing in quality for the PC, but would look pretty decent on the iPhone. However, the new streams look even better."
Apple debuts iPhone 2.0 firmware
"Apple will have a IP connection to your phone which a third party server can then ping and push things like text alerts oover the air – working over both Wi-Fi and mobile networks."
