Oh my god, Microsoft actually did something that works really, really well. Who would’ve thought it? I’m currently travelling and there’s nothing like going on a holiday to test out travel apps and see what can and can’t work when you’re on the move, going on tours and have limited Internet connection. First let me […]
ThinkGeek has a lot of fun stuff for geeks, and while the grand majority of it is reasonably attainable, I came across a puzzling gem of an item posted earlier this week that both intrigued and confused me. Meet the Star Wars Keyboard with an LCD Touchpad. Of course, I instantly began to wonder why […]
Qantas will be the first airline to completely replace their inflight entertainment system with iPads. Passengers will have the capability of accessing Qantas’ own entertainment system, QStreaming, through their iPads and will also have inflight wifi to check emails and surf the web.

Dr. Mann uses a form of “wearable computing” known as an Eye Glass – a prosthetic Augmediated Reality […]
I don’t know about you but I know that my mum has a whole cupboard full of old photos and negatives from the age before digital cameras. She always wants to make them digital but the cost of doing so at the photo shop (and the effort of taking it down there) is enough to […]
In the mobile device world there is a heated battle between the most popular handset creators. Research in Motion’s BlackBerry once tore up the market, but with the onset of the iPhone and then Google’s Android platform, the future is no longer certain. Now, what is certain is that BlackBerry is no longer a real […]
Yeah, imagine rocking up to your business meeting on the golf course in this. I find this extra amusing because the area I used to live in in Hong Kong (Discovery Bay) was a complete “green zone” which meant absolutely no private cars.
