Jason Jenkins, Editor
Meet the Editors
Jason Jenkins
Editor
Jason Jenkins first got into technology in the 80s, spending hours bashing the rubber keys on his beloved Sinclair Spectrum to oblivion in Daley Thompson’s Decathlon. He has been writing about technology since 1999 and has tested virtually every technology product under the sun in the process, from hi-def TVs to mobile phones and MP3 players, via talking monkey heads and singing robots. He was once thrown out of Regent's Park for testing the very first Segway to arrive in the UK, which was a shame as he was having the time of his life. If you look hard enough, you’ll occasionally see him pop up in a newspaper, on telly or on the radio, sounding off on the latest techie news stories.
Rory Reid
PC Editor
Rory Reid knows computers inside out. He began his career playing games for a living, then spent several years writing for the country's biggest-selling and longest-running computer magazines before moving to on-line journalism. He first caught the silicon bug at the age of eight when, bored with opening old radios with his mum's screwdriver, he dissected his cousin's Sinclair Spectrum. Astonished by its shiny circuitry, Rory knew he could only find true happiness when elbow-deep inside a PC. His favourite gadget is his mobile phone, and when he's not avoiding calls from family members to fix their computers, he's travelling to technology exhibitions the world over in search of the next IT thrill.
Andrew Lim
Mobile Phone Editor
Andrew Lim spends more time reading and writing about mobile phones than is medically advised. Inspired as a small boy by his dad's brick-like phone, Andrew longed for the days when he would have his very own mobile. You might see him wandering the streets of London with a phone jammed to his ear or reading some obscure mobile phone magazine printed in the Ukraine. When he's not exposing himself to radiation, he enjoys playing on his Nintendo DS Lite and eating abnormally large meals. His dream is to win the world hotdog-eating contest.
Ian Morris
Televisions Editor
Ian Morris has been on the Internet for so long he is frequently mistaken for part of the furniture. He is passionate about technology, a love that began when, during middle school, he took a rotary dial telephone apart. From then on no electrical item was safe from his attempts to 'fix' it, and it wasn't long before he realised that taking things apart generally resulted in their destruction. Ian's long-running obsession with televisions began in the heady days of cathode ray tubes and VHS. Now he is perched on the edge of his seat waiting to see the outcome of the latest format wars, including plasma versus LCD and HD DVD versus Blu-ray skirmishes.
Nate Lanxon
MP3 & Digital Music Editor
Nate is a technology addict with two decades of drumming and computing behind him. He is part of the generation that grew up with computers and digital technology. When he's not at the office surrounded by iPods and media players, he's at home blogging or reading about quantum mechanics and the history of every aspect of technology. His favourite game is Final Fantasy X and his 'Top 25 Most Played' songs in iTunes include Muse, Dream Theater and Saosin. He loves cats more than is healthy.
Rich Trenholm
Digital Camera Reviewer
Rich Trenholm is old enough to remember payphones and Saboteur on the Commodore 64. He discovered photography on a work experience course and hasn't looked back since -- or at least not since the digital age removed all the hard work. When he's not writing about cameras, Rich is busy seeing how many Firefox extensions he can fit on his iMac before it starts to cry, or sorting his comic collection into alphabetical order. You may also find him spilling beer on his shoes in grotty music venues, and wondering if now would be a good time to write that screenplay. In the time it has taken you to read this, Rich has probably lost his phone.
Nick Hide
Chief Sub-editor
Nick Hide spends his days correcting other people's stupid errors, an occupation he finds extremely satisfying. He is also in charge of selecting stories for CNET.co.uk's News page, which he hopes to turn into a full-blown Crazy Robot Stories site any day now. Nick occasionally contributes to Crave, usually writing about whichever computer game has compelled him to forgo all forms of human contact that week. In a former life, he edited listings for the Radio Times, where he lived in mortal fear of misspelling the title of the popular food show Ainsley's Big Cook Out.
Rupert Goodwins
Technology Editor, ZDNet.co.uk
Rupert Goodwins pops up on our podcast from time to time and is older than any three other members of the team combined. A curious career has seen him working for purveyors of weapons of mass destruction, start-ups flogging kit to spies, and Sinclair Research. He has hefted soldering irons and hexadecimal calculators for a living, hacked Australian research computers at 300 baud for fun, and written about computers, gadgets, books, radio and beer for anyone who pays him. You may also spot him late at night or early in the morning haunting the newsrooms of TV channels who haven't managed to find anyone else.
