We recently published a story about the US town that switched over to run exclusively on wind power. Now we’re pleased to see this story of a Korean village that runs 100% on solar power. All of the homes and the school have solar panels on the rooftops. The island that the village is on […]
Dell announced that they’re discontinuing a bunch of XPS models so that they can instead push high performance gaming machines via their Alienware brand/subsidiary. So if you’re an XPS fan or have been considering one, get on the ball, b/c you may not be able to get one as of next month. Get a Dell […]
2030 to me seems too far away, but I’ll take it. The report itself was over 200 pages, which indicates to me that they spent a ‘government’ god-awful amount of money to produce it. Ok, fine, but let’s see if they now spend the important money to make this a reality.
According to the report, it […]
More research into this contentious area has shown that our brains simply aren’t built for multitasking, yet alone performing other tasks while driving.

Remember the days when you just bought (or built) a computer with however much storage you needed/wanted? Nowadays, your computer is more brains and less brawn, at least in the storage department, as detached storage, typically on the network becomes more popular for the home.
Here’s another such example - the HP Media Vault. We’re featuring […]

Built in the UK’s Legoland to mark Lego’s 50th anniversary, this monster is over 100′ tall and has half a million bricks. The Lego snob in me doesn’t like the random use of colors!

HTC announced the Touch Diamond yesterday in London and they’ve managed to pack even more features into a cell phone that many are already calling an iPhone-killer. At a minimum, it’s definitely a competitor.
The Diamond sports a 2.8″ VGA touch-screen running HTC’s own TouchFlo 3D interface and it promises some newer touch and gesture […]
Dang! Take-two has sold approximately 6 million copies of the latest installment in its Grand Theft Auto series of video games. I won’t comment on the style of the video game, but I will comment on the financial windfall that this is for Take-Two. They’ve got some debt, but nothing that the $500 mil couldn’t […]
In what is a great first, Rock Port, Missouri became the first US town to be completely powered by wind energy. They now have 4 wind turbines generating 16 Gigawatts of power annually (they require about 13). Granted that Rock Port is a relatively small town with a population of under 1400, this move demonstrates […]
