As I was writing about the Sony Reader the other day, my housemate looked over my shoulder and asked “why would you pick an e-book over a traditional one?” Given that he’s a student, I rolled out the usual justifications of being able to carry all your textbooks in one far smaller unit, easier bookmarking, [...]

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the guys at Microsoft 10 have got their hands on a Zune, but two of them?! I’m shocked and appalled at this blatant favouritism, and you can be sure that as soon as I’ve finished watching their video of the music-playing marvels transferring songs between themselves I’ll be writing [...]
I’m a total Tablet PC convert, so the sight of a renovated Intel Ruby prototype brings joy to my pen-loving eyes. Ruby was a design concept by the processor firm to signpost the direction it saw its ultra-mobile, energy efficient chips heading in; a thin framed compact touchscreen tablet, the media inevitably compared it to [...]
During a senior citizen’s charity barn dance last year, my grandmother was the victim of a very slow hit-and-run incident when one of the other participant’s wheelchairs ran over her foot. With tragedy like this lacing our streets on an almost bi-daily basis, it’s a corn-fed shock to the system that wheelchair users are not [...]
Having recently moved into a flat with someone obsessed with recycling, the thorny subject of needing various bins has come up several times. Me, being of the minimalist persuasion, would prefer one simple bin - probably slender and stainless steel - whereas they would like a number of colour-coded glass/paper/aluminium/cheese bins that would take up [...]
Treehugger have an intriguing post about a self-rearranging home that gradually alters its configuration with the changing weather and time of day.
“A small channel in the floor has stopped streaming cold water, and now appears to be releasing steam. Presumably this is was intended to add a dash [of] humidity and warmth to the room”
It’s [...]

I’m thinking about starting a petition to make concept designers legally obliged to comfort members of the public upset when all their fancy promises turn out - when in the metal - to be shockingly poor. Hopefully the designer of the Porsche Panamera, the “four-door coupé” that will take on the Maserati Quattroporte and any [...]
While the information provide by Engadget and Gizmodo are still rumors and unconfirmed, it’s very likely and credible that the image below is indeed the Microsoft Zune (it’s possible that the device also went by the code name Argo.
According to Engadget’s report, the Zuno display is 4:3 ratio not 16:9. The screen size might be [...]

This nifty little camera tracks its user’s movements, thereby allowing control over a computer’s graphical interface without having to ever touch an input device. While it might be designed to make [...]
