Small, yet perfectly formed, the LifeBook FMV Biblo U/B50 comes complete with Windows Vista and a gig of RAM. With a tiny 5.6 inch screen, it’s setting new standards in ultra-portable computing. The device also sports a webcam and Biometrics, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G capabilities. The new FMV with it’s 1.6Ghz Atom chip won’t [...]
I just stumbled into this amazing video with animation that will blow your socks off – it seems every new video of computer graphics is beating the last, getting forever closer to reality. Is it real or is it memorex?
This project, named “Ringo” has been developed by Ivan Tihienko, of the Bezalel Academy of Arts, in Israel. The concept works with a ring-like interface being projected in front of you while you walk. I think it’s a great idea for controlling your information on the go. I thought the idea of GPS and the [...]
UK Engineering at it’s finest, and also just down the road from where I live, Southampton University have developed a submarine to explore the undersea world automatically. Capable of diving to depths of 6km, and a range of 1000km, the AutoSub6000 will be primarily exploring undersea volcanoes. It amazes me how these boffins can set [...]

Richard Branson and designer Burt Rutan unveiled the “WhiteKnightTwo” (WK2) in the Mojave desert – the vehicle which will carry the equally badly named “SpaceShipTwo” (SS2) into what is technically a sub-orbit around the Earth. After previously only seen as a computer generated render, it’s good to see the vehicle in the flesh. Especially so [...]
Everyone who participated in “Download Day” for Firefox 3 should pat themselves on the back. It has officially been given the Guiness World Record kudos for the most downloaded piece of software in 24 hours. The final figure was 8,002,530, which is pretty impressive considering the servers didn’t respond too well to the huge amount [...]
This day 60 years ago, the first modern computer, nicknamed the Manchester “Baby” was switched on to run it’s first successful program. Baby was the first computer to store information digitally, using a Cathode Ray Tube (or CRT), and is the predecessor for how we store information in modern RAM chips. The invention and concepts [...]
Looking at this video, you would think that Pixar or Disney had got their hands on it – but no! This video is brought to you by open source software, as good as – probably better (taking the cool & kudos factors into consideration) than their big-bucks hollywood counterparts. Check out the streaming animation (of [...]
Google Earth is soon to release a plug-in that will allow 3D content from the Google Earth archives to be displayed within your browser window – rather than using the stand-alone Google Earth app. The plug-in currently supports, in it’s Beta form, Firefox 2 and IE6/7. This is a move, I think, that spells the [...]
Well, you can’t actually buy an open source laptop from VIA, but you can download the specs and get the chips from VIA. The laptop itself, featured in a techcrunch article, is another one of those “small form-factor & cheap” deals that everyone seems to be jumping up and down about. Laptops like the OLPC, [...]
