Sub-editor at CNET UK
Charles was first drawn to technology by the splendour of the Commodore 64. He now spends his time polishing up technology articles before publication and occasionally wreaking unintentional havoc upon them. He is both inordinately proud and extremely ashamed of having referred to mankind's most ambitious scientific experiment as the 'Large Hardon Collider' in a published article -- potentially one of the worst typos in history. When not attempting to live that down, he can often be found wrestling with the intricacies of Japanese grammar.
