Over the last day or so, stacks of people have been hammering digg as a revolt against their recent actions. For those of you who don’t know, HD-DVD encryption was cracked recently and the master key which allows all movies to be ripped has been released across the web. Digg, in their infinite wisdom, [...]
Just like many things in life, the Internet is full of fads and fashions. There have been stacks of them in the past, and no doubt there’ll be stacks more. At the moment, the current fads are Social Networking, Blogging and “Web 2.0″. A few years back, the Internet was completely bombarded [...]
I was sent an interesting link this morning by Simon that I think you guys will find quite interesting too (especially those of you with a passion for human/computer interaction *cough* Dan *cough*).
Introducing the BumpTop 3D Desktop, a crazy new way of interacting with your machine and handling documents/files. Check out the following YouTube [...]
Yesterday I bought something that I know I should have bought a long time ago. In fact, I should have bought it at the same time that I bought my video card. In case you didn’t know, the stock fan that comes with this video card is by far the noisiest ever. It’s the [...]

When Steam first hit the marketplace lots of people thought it wasn’t going to take off - and the bigger companies didn’t want it to. Over time it really gathered momentum. The bugs were being ironed out, the process was working well, and the subscriber count was going through the roof. As more time went [...]
I know for sure that many of the geeks out there on the World Wide Wibbly have the “fun” task of sorting out every possible computer issue for any/all of their family and friends in the cases where they’re not geeks themselves. I am one such geek, and I’ll be honest and say that I [...]
Technology is pretty amazing. What makes it more amazing is that just when you think a particular idea has been taken to the nth degree and couldn’t go much further, another boffin comes along and shows that there is more that can be done!
This glass CD is a prime example. CD/DVD technology is now run [...]
I could have squeezed this into the gaming round up that I posted a few days back, but this deserves to be shown out on its own (besides, it’s not just game-specific).
