You know the sort of thing – little games or text messages hidden within software that isn’t available without some sort of weird key-combination. However, they are not always only found in software. This one has been found on the Vista DVD by a bunch of people with nothing better to do than to examine [...]

I discovered this article on Boing Boing just now.. Look at this crazy piece of technology from yesteryear. To think in days gone by that companies actually thought there was a market for this stuff – although at the time I’m sure it was all too easy to get caught up in the hysteria of [...]

It’s interesting though what palaeontologists get up to [...]

I was browsing through some of the excellent wallpaper for linux tonight on GNOME-Look.org when I realised there weren’t that many widescreen Ubuntu ones. I decided to create some and post them to the site for other users that are having the same problem.. Follow the link to see the wallpaper I’ve uploaded, but don’t [...]

From the steampunk workshop comes this neat mod to a standard Dell LCD screen. With a bit of artistic flair, the monitor is transformed into something you might see in Thief. Also have a look at the guys keyboard too. [SHOW ME]
