Stuart Dredge
Columnist at CNET UK

Stuart got into technology by playing Pirates! on a Commodore 64. Now, in 2011, he's playing Pirates! on an iPad. Thankfully some other things have changed in the meantime. He has been working as a technology journalist since 1998, including a period covering web design throughout the first dotcom boom and bust, and subsequent stints as a games and mobile phone journalist. Nowadays his work appears in The Guardian, Sunday Times, Music Ally along with CNET UK. He is also the UK's leading tweeter about toddler-induced sleep deprivation, weak X Factor jokes, and the back catalogue of Menswear.
