Wired’s How-to Wiki has a post up that talks about converting your HD DVD’s from their quickly dying format over to the “new hotness” of Blu-ray. In case you didn’t hear, HD DVD is going the way of Betamax, and so it is time to embrace Sony’s Blu-ray format. All of you PS3 owners out […]

There’s a new headset coming to a computer games store near you - a neuro-headset that picks up the interaction of neurons in your head and converts this into gaming actions and movements. The firm behind this frankly amazing (or bizarre and hilarious depending on your point of view) gadget is Emotiv.
There are around […]

This week, some of the world’s biggest game developers have all landed in San Francisco for the Game Developers’ Conference. Overall, this year, games have seen a revenue increase of 43% in the US.
Of course, this past year has seen the rise of the Nintendo Wii, or in particular the rise of casual games […]

Of course I’m not asking about in general - there will always be a special bond between man and animal, a synergy if you will that will always be devoid of the experience between man and machine. Perhaps it is the difference between actually having a living and breathing life versus looking things up […]

I finally got my Asus EEE ultraportable a couple of days ago, and man, I’m loving it!
The EEE really brings a new meaning to portability to mobile devices. It may not look as svelte or as sexy as the new Macbook Air, but neither does it have the unreasonably expensive price of $1,800. For that […]

Oh Sony… why do you taunt us so? Just when we fought we had found the sexier and “better-than-all” iPhone, along comes Sony and unleashes something that is as pretty and sofysticated as a gadget can get on the outside, while still sporting the rather disappointing Windows Mobile 6, which failed to meet expectations when […]

The first mobile telephones showing off Google’s own Android software have now gone on show.  Companies including ARM, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm have all demonstrated working prototypes at the annual Mobile World Congress.
The free system was launched way back in November 2007 and is being developed by an alliance of software developers including Google.  The […]

Will the next presidential debate have John McCain and Hillary Clinton feuding over quantum mechanics vs. classical mechanics?  Likely not.  But if scientist James Trefil had his way, that might be the case.
In his new book, ‘Why Science?,’ Trefil outline the case that all U.S. citizens must be “scientifically literate” in order to understand the […]

A recent report has suggested that there may be as many as five times more variants of malware on the Internet in 2007 (and into 2008) than there was in 2006.  Extremely worrying I’ve no doubt that you agree.  Panda Software is reporting more than 3,000 unique i.d. negative impact software per day.
Another company, AV […]

EA has a new survival horror of sorts on the horizon and I’d be willing to bet that, if you have an Xbox 360, it’s something that you’re going to want to play.  The game is Dead Space, and it’s been talked about for a little while now.  However, it’s only been recently that the […]

Even though you’ll probably find Microsoft on the internet headlines for another reason, there is a problem, they still haven’t addressed (properly) concerning the market that made them what they are today: their Vista OS.
Although the demand is still high for Windows XP, Microsoft has been forcing their partners to “upgrade” to Vista by refusing […]

An obligatory, but not much debated, geek accessory is the USB flash drive. You simply must have one with a larger capacity than your friends. It’s the geek equivalent of car lovers comparing how much horse-power their machines have.

Sony have just pulled the curtains on their latest sexy USB memory sticks: the USMGLX, that […]

Microsoft has decided to slash the price of its Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on.
Microsoft’s decision to cut the price of the add-on from $179.99 to $129.99, may be a last ditch effort to stave off what could possibly be the inevitable — Blu-ray winning the format wars. Warner Bros.’ decision to go Blu-ray exclusive has been […]

Finally got my hands on No More Heroes for the Wii. From the moment you see the first frames of the actual game, you will immediately realize that this is one of those titles that try to prove that Nintendo’s console is not just for kids, not counting the fact that this game was directed […]

Firefox users are probably aware of the wonders of Greasemonkey but, for those of you that aren’t,  it’s an addon that allows you to customize the way pages look. Although development of a script will be out of reach for most users, customizing a website with a premade one isn’t.

Dailybits did us a favor and […]

It takes a lot of Apple love (and a thick wallet) to consider purchasing the most expensive Macbook Air. Despite of it’s lack of versatility, the SSD drive-enabled Macbook Air gives the ultra thin laptop the little extra nudge it needs to stand apart from the rest of the lineup.

Performance wise, the laptop had very […]
