London: The City of London (Financial District) Neighbourhood Guide

The City of London (or just ‘The City’) is an area located right in the centre of London itself. Having been founded by the Romans as Londinium about 2000 years ago, The City has morphed into the financial heart of London and the world. 

The City is unusual in that less than 10,000 people live in the area, yet over 500,000 work there. 

The City suffered many disasters over the years, including The Great Plague and The Great Fire of London and is filled with fascinating historical sites in every direction you look, including St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Monument and the nearby Tower of London. 
Many museums are also dotted around this area.

What will be in iLife 2010 and iWork 2010?

UPDATE: Looking for a guide to iWork for the iPad? Click here.
If you are thinking of buying a Mac for Christmas you might want to wait out for another month as January is the typical release month of the updates to the iLife and iWork suite 2010 and you don't get a free upgrade even if you've just bought a Mac the day before the release.

iWork
This is Apple's in-house equivalent to Microsoft Office with apps that, frankly, still aren't up to scratch when compared to Office.
Pages 2010- Increased compatibility, maybe to work with Office 2010.
Keynote 2010 - More templates are likely to be added and maybe new transitions
Numbers 2010 - Sample templates are also likely to be added here and more chart types.

What is really needed is a Publisher replacement on a MaC. This could be done really well by Apple and could actually be a better product than Publisher itself. In 2008 Numbers was added to iWork, so a new program may be added to the suite later - and 2010 would be a g…

London: The London Pass If you think you will be visiting a lot of London attractions, consider getting a London Pass – this is a one-fee pass that includes entry into many of London’s major attractions and tours, with over sixty to choose. It even includes a one-day hop-on, hop-off bus ticket on Golden Tours.

A large selection of attractions are currently included in the London Pass. Here are just a few of the most popular: Tower of London, Thames River Cruise, Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey and London Zoo.

Note that none of the Merlin Entertainment attractions are included in the London Pass (the London Eye, London Dungeon, London Aquarium, Shrek’s Adventure and Madame Tussauds), and neither is The Shard.

Some attractions (such as Tower Bridge Exhibition) will grant you express entry with the London Pass.

How much does the London Pass cost?
Adult prices are £62 for one day, £85 for 2 days, £101 for 3 days, £139 for 6 days and £169 for 10 days. Child prices are about £20 cheaper. …

Navigon for iPhone and iPod Touch Review

Navigon MobileNavigator for iPhone
Navigon is a reputable name in the satellite navigation industry and has always produced some of the most reliable systems; they have now decided to port their navigation software to the iPhone and iPod Touch. 









First experience and Features:
To make this a fair review and to test user experience I decided that I wouldn't even open up the application until I was in the car. Clicking the navigon button on the home screen launches the app and in a very impressive 7 seconds you are at the main menu screen.
The main menu screen is very simple (which is a good thing in a navigation app) and displays 4 main options - enter an address, search for POI, take me home and show map. As with the whole of the app - this can be viewed in vertical and horizontal mode.

Enter an address - After pressing this button you are shown a screen which allows you to click a flag in the top right corner (for versions of the app with multiple countries so that you can select th…
