Google Translate, the popular service from Google, received today a makeover – which makes it fit in with the new Google design and less of the old one. The update moves things around, and adds 2 new features – listening to both the text you typed in & the output [...]

This is the ViewSonic ViewPad; the next tablet inline trying to earn the somewhat ridiculous title of ‘iPad Killer’. The 7-inch tablet runs on a 600MHz ARM CPU, with a disappointing 800×480 resolution. It runs Android 2.2 Froyo – finally, an up-to-date Android release – and it’s going to be on [...]

Samsung have announced a largely impressive number of their Galaxy S smartphones’ sales. One which shows that good advertising works. In total, Samsung have moved over one million of the Galaxy S-series phones since they were launched on August 15 – just 15 days. The phone boasts heavy features such [...]

This is Times Square; which has become completely Foursquare dominated. The question is – how on earth does a small start-up like Foursquare achieve an ad of this scale? It’s not like the ad didn’t do anything though – Foursquare just passed 3 million users – which, although a small [...]

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen unveiled a series of patents he owns the right to – all around a decade old – and has filed patent violation lawsuits against AOL, Apple, eBay, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo, and YouTube; largely most of them infringing on his patent #682.

In Short: Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a masterpiece of a perfect merge of gaming and comic book humour that is a brilliant adaptation of the book series. A film that’s brighter and poppier than being on a coffee high, it’s bursting at the seam with great humour, great [...]

In something that is entirely as shocking as it is disgusting, morally incorrect and plainly revolting, 3 teenagers in the town of Puerto Asis, Columbia have been murdered after appearing on a ‘Facebook Kill List’. 66 other people were on the list, and Columbian Authorities have zoned into the case; previously [...]

The Samsung Galaxy Tab may look familliar to you… that’s probably because it is. The interface is vastly similar to Apple’s iPad UI. The teaser video by Samsung, available on their website, displays a quick flash-through of screenshots of the new Galaxy Tab’s UI. Here’s a comparison of 2 screenshots [...]

In the last decade, USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the standard connection between computers (both PC’s and Mac’s) and peripherals of any kind (any kind of electronic equipment used with computers). It began development in 1994 by the seven largest computer companies at that time (Compaq, IBM, Intel & Microsoft [...]

August 24, 1995. The release date of Windows 95; pretty ugly, pretty crash-prone (BSOD), and generally pretty bad. But did you know that 2 in 3 computers were using it in 1997? While we may scoff at it now, Windows 95 was a big step forward for computers worldwide, and [...]

If Apple’s latest patents are correct, then sometimes in the future (or not at all), we might be seeing a touchscreen iMac. Rather than ditch the keyboard and mouse entirely, the touchscreen instead converts from a non-touchscreen surface to a touchscreen one by moving the display down. Patents recently submitted [...]
