iPhone 6
I went into an Apple Store yesterday and had a look at an iPhone 6. I'm not convinced, I have to say... It doesn't have the feel of an Apple product, and the increased size makes it just that bit too big for my liking.

The reason is that I have three close relatives on the Internet and two of them have asked me about problems they are having.

Filtered telephone/ adsl slave socket
I've added a filtered telephone/ adsl slave socket about 5m from the master socket using 3-pair 6-core telephone wire. The telephone works from both the master and slave socket, but my adsl modem now only works from the master. Any ideas why this is? Can you use telephone wire for this job or does it have to be cat 5e?…

External memory on latest Android version?
Was on the verge of buying a new Android phone. However after reading up on some reviews I was flabbergasted to find out that (I think) the SD card on Kitkat is very restricted. I just assumed it would still be possible to move some big apps to it from the internal memory, copy photos to laptop and other things like that.…
