I must apologise – last week I was sick and Staff Writer Version 2.0 had to bring you the week’s best tech deals.

Despite rumours to the contrary, I did not spend my weekend playing Borderlands and visiting bars.

I lay in bed, alone, crying softly due to a combination of swine flu and looking at pictures of my ex-girlfriend on Facebook.

I also realised that if I were to die on a Friday evening after getting home from work, no one would find my body until Monday when my boss decided to find out why I was a no-show at the office.

Yes, being a tech-wielding, deals slinging bachelor has its highs – but it also has its lows.
