I'm beginning to look at the housing market in the UK, a bit like the diamond market. Where the market is effectively controlled by 1-2 companies that ensure the release of a controlled quantity into the market at any one time. Develop

I'd almost hoped they would have released a refreshed Macbook Pro range. I realise they are unlikely to recognise the joy and immense pleasure working on a MBP has brought me over the years, with the previous MBP being the pinnacle. Sa
