World’s greatest unboxing
I’ve just seen something wonderful. For anyone not au fait with unboxings, they are usually a video or sequence of photographs showing the packaging of a product, for example, an ipod. It’s usually done by Apple fans as Apple’s product wrapping is great. This one’s, erm… quite different.
The security brick wall
Today I got into work, now sometimes I have to leave my PC on, mainly as I am in the middle of something, and switching it off would my path of work to be interrupted as I get in. Anyway, this morning I realised, my PC had restarted itself. I rolled my eyes, and immediately [...]
Films on your iPhone
Ahhh, the iphone, the hype, oh the hype. It’s good, but hey, in a couple of years, all mobile companies will be jumping on that band wagon, those companies are pretty dynamic. Anyway, People say to me, “but the iphone has a large screen so you can watch films” etc. Mr David Lynch, despite looking [...]
What’s a Nerd, What’s a geek?
I’m going to say it now, very clearly, I am a geek, I’m actually proud to have this title bestowed upon me, I’m out, I sat my parents down, and i said “mum, dad, i am geek”, they hurt at first, but now they have come to accept that sometimes I will bring a new [...]
My favourite social network
Before you assume it is Facebook, it isn’t. In fact, over the last year, social networks are becoming almost as common as porn on the web. All sorts of niche markets or slightly different variations on a theme are out there.
I’ve been trying out as many as I can and one stands out above the [...]
Put more speed in my pipes
Every now and again I get asked “I want broadband, who should I use?”. This question tends to get answered in 1 way, “go for Be” I say. And Be is great. Be is a Swedish company who know that speed is a big factor on the internet and don’t charge the earth. Be is [...]
Nintendo back at the top
Nothing makes me happier than to see Nintendo back in the top of the console charts once more. It’s a happy day. I’ve waxed lyrical about the corporations like Microsoft and Sony coming in and releasing sequel after sequel (I love them, the new graphics etc, but it just lacks the gameplay a lot of [...]
itunes, we all scream for itunes
I’ve just been having a discussion here. Do you remember when itunes first came out for the PC? about a 4MB download, maybe 6. It worked ok, typically, like any mac product for the PC, it was quite slow, but ok, not half as bad as what we have now in itunes 7. Don’t get [...]
Why I probably wouldn’t Blu-ray just yet
There is a big format war going on AGAIN. And yes, Sony, amongst others is a big player, AGAIN. And that’s the problem.
So, in the red corner we have HD-DVD, in the blue corner a prototype sounding Blu-ray.
Blu-ray is technically superior, it fits a vast amount more information on one disc, which could mean better [...]
iPhone to Europe
I’ve never particularly liked Apple, they do great product design, now, granted, a nice looking OS, but that’s about it. The quality is decidedly shoddy, from terrible iPod and iPhone batteries to power cables melting, so not even shoddy in a “feels cheap” kind of way, but dangerous shoddy. Yet the fan base is constant, [...]
