Last week I took the pleasure of bringing to you the ugliest computers ever made.
Today I bring to you a computer that is not only ugly (though very endearing in its own dorky way) but also the oldest and only surviving computer. Stored for almost 30 years, the Harwell computer (also known as WITCH) was [...]
The BiOrb Life Aquarium is for the pet owner with discriminating taste in decor. Sporting an LED lighting system designed to mimic the actual schedule of real sunlight, an advanced 5-stage filtration system and an option of three colors with a minimal modern form, it’s triggering the hipster geek lust in me.
Sadly, the 8 gallon [...]
You think you’ve seen stop motion videos, but you haven’t. Not these crazy, creep, beautiful works of art that must have taken days upon days of continuous work. Yesterday I was about to leave the office when I saw one of my colleagues browsing Syprestudios, and there was a post “50 Stunning and Inspirational Stop [...]

How much more do you want Google to know about you? Since they already have your browsing history, your preferences, your location, the routes you search on Google Maps, the things you buy via Google Checkout, and of course, your email, what harm does it do if Google also knows about the books you read?

This is the promotional video Microsoft for the XBox Natal, premiered at the E3 conference, which I neglected to put up in an earlier post. It looks pretty amazing, and definitely a step up from the Nintendo Wii’s approach to interactive family entertainment. By comparison, the PS3’s Playstation Eye and motion-sensitive controller looks more like [...]
I recently stumbled upon this lovely invention, which provides a partial solution for a frustration that I have – why do the governments of the world think that they have the power to influence the time and the number of hours of sunlight that I see? I’m talking about Daylight Saving’s Time, a practice that [...]
