His skull is so big that he was once mistaken for the Death Star at Comic-Con, you get the idea. If you have a massive skull like my cousin, it can be hard to find sunglasses that fit.

, Dec 29th 2010 Discuss [1]

As 2011 prediction pieces go, McAfee Labs' threat report for the coming year is on the depressing side. The company's security researchers reckon that Apple kit along with mobile devices and geolocation services will be the most popular targets for threats in 2011, though smart TV systems like Google TV are also suggested as likely to see attacks. Clicking on Facebook and other social network links will also become a potentially harrowing experience, McAfee believes, with URL-shortening services used to redirect users to malware.

France wants tablet-tax for iPad and Android slates while Windows exempt

, Dec 29th 2010 Discuss [7]

French legislators are considering imposing a tablet-tax that would affect all models with at least 40GB of internal storage, though Windows-based slates would be exempt. The proposal, reported by Numerama, is part of French "private copy" taxation which imposes extra fees on digital media like blank CDs, DVDs and thumb-drives; it's estimated it would add up to €12 ($16) to the cost of Apple's top-spec iPad or Android tablets. However, because Windows is classed as a "full" OS rather than a mobile one like iOS or Android, it escapes the taxation. Read The Full Story

LG has pre-announced its newest 3D TV, the LG LW6500, and the company is promising flicker-free enjoyment since the display uses a passive 3D system.
