jetpacks R us

August 1, 2006

Yeap, you read the title correctly. Commercially viable jetpacks are now available from Skywalker Jets although I think it will take a bit more investment before any are sold! So finally we can all act like the next super-hero with a device that will set you back a cool $200,000 (with a nice $100,000 deposit [...]

AMD + ATI = ?

July 24, 2006

The news is (almost) official. AMD are going to acquire ATI in an estimated $5.4 billion move. This will happen approximately three hours from when this post goes live (at 8.00am EDT 24th July 2006.) So what will this mean for the industry? I think that it can only be a good thing. Intel have [...]

July 21, 2006

As you may know if you are a regular reader of my ramblings, I am a bit of an avid podcast listener and really enjoy listening on the bus, at home and anywhere else. So when the release of a new social podcasting site for listeners was announced I thought I’d check it out – [...]

I have a USB drive and I also use a lot of PCs. This is something I’ve been thinking about doing in a long time – a way to store some of the more useful programs on your USB drive to carry with you whenever you need them, with the added security that your data [...]

July 16, 2006

Bit of a filler I know! Had to share this cool video (at least if you life Star Wars & Lego!) There are some particularly good fighting scenes with Yoda. Also there are some nice effects in space with the fighters and a good lego theme! The end is pretty good with a nice touch [...]

July 13, 2006

Good news for all firefox fans. The latest 2.0 beta is out, and although quite a few people have reported crashes (well it is still beta!) the over all consensus of opinion is that the new features are pretty cool. I’ll be testing it over the next couple of days and keep you posted on [...]

growcube

July 8, 2006

This is probably one of the most surreal sites I’ve been to lately. It’s full of interesting flash games, that aren’t your normal run-of-the-mill puzzle or fighting or golf games.

ascii generator

July 5, 2006

For those of you who don’t know, ASCII is the standardised code that defines a basic character set. All PCs and (probably) all computers full stop use ASCII.
