If you're like me, you take e-mail for granted. When I'm sending an e-mail it doesn't matter how far it has to go, I expect it to be there just about as quickly as I hit the send button. If you step back and look at how far an e-mail has to travel when you are sending it, for instance, from the US to the UK the whole system is very impressive.

Google Street View Japan reveals fabulous Cherry Blossom Edition
So you'd like to do one of two things: travel through Japan during the season when the Cherry Blossoms blast, or have a lovely time glancing upon them from afar - Google has you covered either way! With Google's Street View, you're able to see where you're going before you get there - if you use it with Google Maps.

New iPad: The Skeptic’s Review
I sent back the iPad 2, but I’m keeping the new iPad. Two years ago I wrote my first iPad skeptic’s review, a more oblique – and personal – opinion on Apple’s tablet than the traditional SlashGear review. A year later I did the same for the iPad 2, finding it improved but, from a combination of hardware and software, not sufficient of an upgrade for my needs to justify keeping it. Now Apple is up to its third-generation tablet, criticized by some as another “minor” refresh but in fact a considerable step up in the overall user-experience.

Your Pod Coffee Tastes Bad
Coffee and geeks go together. Yet, given geeks can be the most obsessive about getting the very best user-experience, it’s surprising how many are content to drink bad coffee. I’m talking about pods, pads and K-Cups, and the shiny, alluring machines that fire hot water through them. Like many people, my morning wouldn’t be complete without at least one cup of coffee, but what really frustrates me is when people who I know love coffee just as much talk in hushed and reverent tones about their latest “heavenly” pod experience. Those super-convenient little Senseo pads, or the Keureg K-Cups? They’re selling you stale coffee.

A new Nexus is a big deal in Android land, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has plenty to live up to.

Read on for the full SlashGear review.

ASUS Eee Pad Slider Review
Tablets took ASUS by surprise this year. The company revealed its two models, the Eee Pad Transformer and Eee Pad Slider, back at CES 2011 in January, and went on to see the Transformer become a sell-out success. The Slider SL101, meanwhile, failed to appear on schedule, and it’s only now – ten months after we saw it first – that units are finally reaching store shelves. Has time been kind, or is this Android tablet just a netbook with pretensions? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
