A Japanese company has released a neat device that allows you to record TV shows directly onto Memory Stick Duos and Compact Flash without the need of any software.
It also seems that GeekStuff4U has managed to acquire a batch of these two days before their official release, so if you’re interested and in a hurry […]

50 Cent told Reuters yesterday that even though his game is rated M kids can play it. 50 says:
“Just because it is rated mature doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy it for your kids,”.

It looks like the search for extra-terrestrial life will be just one of many projects in a merged project called BOINC. I really liked that SETI was around, but I guess harnessing computer power for “more important” things is good too…
Distributed computing experiment SETI@home will be switched off on December 15 as it becomes part […]

Jim Louderback has written an article about what he considers the top 10 worst gadgets of 2005.
In my opinion, some of them are spot-on, like the Oakley Thump sunglasses, or Sony’s and awkward “Sports mp3 player” which doesn’t really have much going for it except the brand name. However, one of the items intrigued me, […]

It looks like Sykpe is trying to take on the big dogs by moving to the retail market, though not with a company that I would pick to distribute it: RadioShack. The good thing is it is cheap, and includes 30 minutes of talk time to call from Skype to regular telephones.
Skype Technologies SA makes […]

Just opening your new Xbox 360 and can’t decide which cable to use? RF, Composite, S-Video? What’s the difference?

You peek behind your HDTV and discover an ocean of free video input connectors. You think to yourself, “Heck, I’ve […]

I’m a web developer, and have a sort of “Photoshop-phobia”. I’m great at coding with CSS/XHTML, but I can’t stand going into Photoshop or another photo editor to create background images for my sites. After a while, I realized that there isn’t much you can do with a bunch of one-color boxes. But, there is […]
