Uh-oh. Could this be Toshiba’s move now that Sony’s Blu-ray has gained the upper hand?

Now here’s a good indicator of what’s possible with all that technology lying around and if you’re quite ready to mess around with them. Something like your iPhone. So iPhone hackery can turn your precious little gadget (toy) into a brick. Well, that didn’t stop our friendly neighborhood iPhone hackers in turning the iPhone into [...]

Now isn’t this interesting. And you have to admire how people actually come up with these ideas. Here’s Tempo, a concept of a 250GB external hard drive that automatically backs up everything you delete. Some might think it’s dumb to actually have an external hard drive all for the purpose of playing the role of [...]

Thinking about buying yourself a notebook? We don’t blame you! We can think of more than one reason for you to switch from your old PC to a new laptop. Name it: portability, mobility, productivity, plus all the good stuff compacted in a way smaller, thinner, and lighter (whoopee!) computer. Tired of bringing the whole [...]
