Today, a 30 Seconds Of Tech video resulting from last night’s rather swanky Galaxy S II launch. A quick tip for PRs: The easy way to my heart? Classic arcade games. A quick tip for aliens intent on invading: I’ve worked out how to defeat you once and for all. Simply make the machine you’re […]

Taxicabs, Broadband Sites & Smartphones Made Of Chocolate?
It’s been a busy day today. Too busy, actually. So, what have I been up to? At Hydrapinion, my Carry column looked at how taxi drivers view GPS: Taxicab Confessions: “I was in the back of a cab yesterday — no, before you start wondering, this isn’t one of those kinds of stories…” At PC […]

A busy day here — both in the office and out and about. Firstly, at CNET, a review of a larger-than-normal printer: Canon Pixma iX6550: “The iX6550 isn’t awash with features, but those after a somewhat compact A3 printer should find it good value.” Then at Geekspeak, two columns covering the rise of the eBook […]

A busy week again trundles through. Let’s see where I can shamelessly promote myself, shall we? At CNET.com.au, I’ve pummelled another half-dozen iPad2 cases for your entertainment. Keyboards and Turtles abound. Best iPad 2 cases in Australia: “The word shell is apt; the back casing makes it look like the kind of iPad 2 the […]
Continue readingMust avoid all the obvious puns…
One I missed plugging here from last week, a quick writeup on PC & Tech Authority on whether consumers need to get worried about IPv6: Should your home broadband connection be IPv6 ready right now? “Some ISPs are beginning to plug IPv6 home routers, but should you be concerned about it? Here’s the situation for […]
