This shows as a list of ticks when looking down the page and it's easy to see which competitions you've entered. Using IE9 if I click…

The New Imac 21.5-inch, 2.5GHz that I did not get offered from PCWorld
Hello, I bought and Apple Imac on the 07/05/2011 from PCWorld. Even thought the newer version was released on the 03/05/2011 I was still sold the old one. It is very disappointing to find out that the £1020 computer is already obsolete. I contacted PCWorld who refused to change it as it was open and passed the 21 days…

Ipad vs Xoom - Which One?
Hi Guiys Thought I'd try MSE to get some advice on buying a tablet PC rather than the usual geeky techy forums. Simple enough question really, which one would you buy - the Apple iPad2 or the Motorola Xoom? For a while I've been favouring the Xoom because of its support for Flash which the iPad doesn't have but when I…
