Liverpool 2-0 Bolton

Here are the highlights of Saturdays game:

Relief broke out at Anfield 10 minutes from the break as Liverpool took the lead against Bolton when Dirk Kuyt slid home after Insua crossed from the left and Aquilani did well to head the ball back across goal for the Dutchman. The Merseysiders made sure of the points midway through the second half when an Insua shot took a wicked deflection off Kevin Davies for 2-nil.

Although personally, I don’t think there will be any optical media drive as this is not present in the MacBook Air

Apple: Come see our latest creation

Apple has confirmed an event on Jan 27, inviting media and analysts to ‘come see our latest creation’, believed to be the iTablet.

Apple has invited journalists to a special event in San Francisco later this month, where it is widely expected to unveil the iTablet. Apple sent out the email invite today to select media and analysts, inviting them to "come see our latest creation".

The invite, which shows the Apple logo superimposed over a series of graffiti-style paint splatters, gives few clues as to what Apple will announce at the event. However, rumours and speculation have swirled for months that Apple is about to unveil a tablet-style computer.

The event, which will be held at the Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts in San Francisco, starts at 10am on January 27. Apple’s chief executive, Steve Jobs, is expected to take the stage to make the announcement in what will be his highest profile appearance since returning to work after a liver transplant last summer.

The so-called iTablet is expected to feature a 10in screen, with all the same features and functionality as Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch. Several websites have quoted sources close to the project as saying that the iTablet will also be used as a home entertainment hub for gaming, watching movies and listening to music.

Indo think about charging for online content

When reading the Irish Independent online today, I was asked to complete a survey. So I did, being the good citizen that I am. The Indo’s survey is all about what you would consider paying for online, and what you would do if they started charging for online content.

THe Times had a pay model for years and only in the past few years reverted back to the free online model. Ever since Rupert Murdoch took a hissy fit about free content, it seems all of the news organization now want to charge you for the content you have been accessing for free for years
