While I haven't honestly enjoyed this latest set of books as well as I enjoyed the Sprawl and the Bridge trilogies, I would still give one of my fingers to give William Gibson a big man hug. He basically defined sci-fi for me, much in the same way Tolkien defined my taste in fantasy, and anything too far from his original dystopian settings peopled with amazingly detailed characters (The Road for example, owes a debt to Gibson, although Cormac McCarthy is a genius in his own right). více

This just in: the new iPod Touch with front-facing camera (aka the iPhone Lite) has a built-in vibrating motor for notifications, including silent call notifications. Why is this important? Well, presumably the iPod Touch is now a Facetime phone and definitely needs new ways to interact with the user. I’m personally very excited. This confirms [...] více

Here is some serious French testosterone in a watch. Made for or influenced by the special, elite operations branch of the national French police known as RAID. The highly secretive special force is interesting because they often recruit people directly from the public, as opposed to existing police or military personnel. The purpose of the group as part of the national police, is to combat and investigate major crimes and terrorism. RAID stands for "Recherche Assistance Intervention Dissuasion." In English, "Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence." They seem to kick enough ass to get a watch made for them with their logo on it. více

Oh boy. 799€ ($1030) for the Tab is definitely a whole bunch of money for something you probably don't need. It's still a better deal than $150 for the new Apple TV! You could also buy a mac and actually do stuff with it. Or netbooks for the whole family. více

The G-Drive Mini has a lot to offer for people who need FW and USB connectivity. This of course comes with a price of $250. $1 for each GB is obviously not satisfactory for someone who needs a normal portable HDD. For this price you can get two Toshiba Canvios and get 2 TB of storage. What can the Mini offer? Click to read my review. více

I’ve found that the iPhone, and indeed many phone cameras, are actually pretty good at close focus photography, but if you really want to get up close and gross with some bugs or flowers or what have you, a macro lens is the only way. And as it turns out, you can use the lens [...] více
