There were doubters last time . They said a 1300 foot drop wasn’t all that much. It wasn’t a true test. [......]
It’s been a long time since I clacked away on a C64 but I remember that hunk of pure computing power like it was yesterday. The keyboard (complete with dingbats on the front surface), the power light that glowed like a monocular rat eye, the lines of dust that formed in the 80s-era case. [......]
Earlier today, my colleague Matt Burns wrote a post noting that most tablet makers may be largely failing because they’ve sold their soul to Android and are now just in the middle of a spec war, which no one can win. I’m gonna go one step further in that line of thinking: the spec is dead. There have been a few key stories from the past couple of weeks that highlight this new reality[......]
If the sight of Gigabyte's G1.Assassin 2 motherboard left you jonesing for more bare naked shots of upcoming LGA 2011 (Sandy Bridge-E) motherboards, you're in luck. MSI's X79A-GD65 8D appeared bareback in front the camera and it's glamor shots are now all over the Web where you can check out its 8D frame (8 DIMM slots). The quad-channel DIMM slots are arranged on both sides of the CPU socket, which is a design you're going to see on all LGA 2011 boards, at least for the time being. [......]
Back in July, Erick took a trip to a hotel suite in Manhattan to get a demo of BuddyTV's new iPhone app. [......]
Don't let the name fool you. This isn't just a special edition of the original Xoom. This is a new tablet that comes loaded with a bunch of family apps[......]
Remember being angry and disappointed when OCZ dumped its DRAM business to pursue other interests? Looking back, it's hard to argue with that decision, and even more so when you consider the numbers. [......]
Firebox is the latest big name to announce its involvement with the 'Silicon Roundabout' Tech City in London, with the online retailer moving its headquarters to the area. The Tech City project has the backing of the government and the whole project has been boosted by Google's recent announcement that it will lease a building in the area to aid its development.

It was November 4, 1952, and Americans huddled in their living rooms to follow the results of the Presidential race between General Dwight David Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson, Governor of Illinois. We like to think that our time is a unique moment of technological change. But the consumers observing this election represented an unprecedented generation of early adopters, who watched rather than listened to the race on the radio[......]
Walking With Dinosaurs, the BBC and good 3D James Cameron is the biggest advocate for 3D working in Hollywood today. His hit movie Avatar kick-started a new wave of 3D movie-making, using techniques and technology that proved 3D could move beyond being a gimmick. Although it wasn't to some critics' tastes, the numbers do not lie[......]
My overclocked quad-core beast of a desktop takes 3 minutes to start after loading Windows 7, never mind the time it takes to POST and run through all the pre-Windows crap -- and that's with Soluto installed. The quick demo after the break shows a notebook booting from a hard power start to Windows 8 in 10 seconds flat. [......]
The Tron-esque 3D gaming headset Sony showed off at CES this year has turned out not to be an elaborate joke – because they've only gone and made the Sony HMZ-T1 official, with a press release and rugged model shots and everything. Yes, you too can be as steely and serious about your personal 3D movie viewing as this chap, by picking up Sony's Personal 3D viewer which comes with two independent 0.7-inch HD OLED panels inside.

That's not the Terminator's gallbladder you're looking at there. It's actually a pocket watch made by Urwerk , a noted designer of extremely high-end timepieces for folks like to think they are Jules Verne. The watch, called the UR-1001 Zeit Device, tells the time down to (up to?) the century and even has a register for 1,000s of years aka millennia. [......]
I travel a lot. One day I might be in Australia, next day Japan and then off to the United States. [......]
