Traveling during the holiday seasons can be hectic, especially if practically everyone else thinks it’s a great idea to go on a vacation or visit home (if you live or work far away). Airports and terminals are busy, and sometimes things get screwed up. Here’s a not from a friend of mine, Sacha, who’s taking [...]

Ever wish your phone had a built-in lie detector so you’d know if the person on the other end is telling the truth? Well, Panasonic has recently released a mood phone, the P702iD “Mood Tank.” The phone displays different colors onscreen depending on the perceived mood of the person on the other end. This is [...]

Gamasutra decided to take a look back on this year’s games and tell us which ones they considered the best, or at least the most influential for future generations. If you look at their article, you will see a lot of surprises, but what might seem the most impressive thing is that Nintendo dominated the [...]

Nikon D40, the new entry-level SLR camera from Nikon has just gotten the full test from the experts at DPreview. And although it is an entry level camera, you might be surprised when you read their conclusion:

The D40 is perhaps one of Nikon’s most important digital SLRs. It’s certainly their smallest and lightest, their most [...]

Logitec (not to be confused with Logitech) has just released one of the nicest external drives I’ve ever seen with many features that could interest you.

The drive’s size is 2.5″ and it has a rugged body and mechanism that protects it from falls (up to 1 meter) and allows you to encrypt data, so only [...]

The full trailer for the upcoming live action big budget Transformers movie directed by Michael Bay went online this morning.
I was rather impressed by it, though you only get brief glimpses of the Transformers-themselves (the pause button can fix that, though). The special effects from ILM look superb. A shame they didn’t include [...]

The news for Wii owners just got a bit juicier today. JoyTech has just announced that it will be releasing special batteries for the Wiimote and a docking station for them. No longer will you have to continuously pull out those big bucks for Duracells after saving Hyrule or hitting a few homeruns.

This nice add-on [...]

If you’re a Wii owner, then you’ll be happy to know that the Wii Forecast Channel has been released. When I woke up today I saw my Wii’s Disk tray glowing, so I knew something was up, so I turned it on, ran the firmware upgrade and after a few simple steps I already had [...]

The American produced Street Fighter: the Series tends to get quite a bit of flack from fans, some going so far as to call it “the worst video game cartoon ever made”. Hey, it wasn’t perfect, but in no universe was it ever as bad as the mid-90’s Mega Man cartoon. But that’s another story.

I recently stumbled upon a great resource for all Mac users out there. A list of small applications, most of them free, that you can add to your menu bar. Even if you have a widget for everything you need, I’m certain that there will be one or two of these small programs that will [...]

I was recently lucky enough to acquire a copy of Zelda for my newly bought Nintendo Wii, which was recently reviewed here not to long ago. The very first thing that hit me when I watched the introduction movie, was how similar it seemed to Shadow of the Colossus, for the Playstation 2.

If you visit a lot of sites that use adsense, and the chances are that you do, you have probably seen images being lined up next to them, in order to attract more attention. Until this moment, Google didn’t pronounce itself directly for, or against it, but now they are stepping up and explaining what [...]

In 2006, the World Wide Web became a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter
However, when you go visit the site, you are prompted by an add by Chrysler that centered itself [...]

March 24th, 1911 - December 18th, 2006.
You should all recognize this man, at least his last name and his body of work. Joseph Barbera was the other half of the cartoon legends Hanna-Barbera. Barbera can be co-credited for such immortal cartoon characters as Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, the [...]
