So the Space Year 2008 is finally almost dead and buried, and with just under 24 hours of its measly life left to live before its corpse starts to rot and stink up the place, now’s a pretty good time for a bit of a backwards glance, a look back over the past 12 months [...]
Notice anything odd about that image? Apart from that it’s of a weird blue thing with some hard to make out writing underneath it, I mean. No, idiot! It’s not actually an image! It’s full of stars (text)! This cool little tool will search google for whatever term you give it, find the first image [...]
So, due to Bulldog/Pipex/Tiscali being utterly useless, I have been cut off and have had no real internets since the 16th. New phone line won’t be connected ’til Jan 2nd (costing £122.33 too ) and internets about a week later, at best, so until then I’m on a crappy Vodafone 3G mobile USB card thingy. [...]
Cor blimey, what’s going on here? This looks suspiciously like a Sven-style gadget review! Have I managed to put as much effort into assessing things as my venerable homeslice usually does? We’ll soon find out! OK so this thing’s billed as an indoor helicopter, with its most eye-catching feature being a 3-channel control scheme, which [...]

Discovered via /., where there’s [...]

Well, they might be if a team of Japanese scientists’ claims are to be believed (and exagerated (rather a lot)). They’ve managed to reconstruct images a person was looking at, by analysing their brain activity. Spook! To do this, they hooked up a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine to some people’s heads, showed them a [...]
Ok so against popular opinion (and the often accurate portent of it only being advertised a matter of weeks before release) I decided it might be a good idea to go and see the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Was it the right decision? Only time (and some SPOILERS) will tell! Firstly, [...]
Ok so my bro just hit me up with news of next year’s new Z4 model and, crikey, it’s more than a little bit tidy. First thoughts were ‘ah, only a subtle restyling, sleeker looking’ but on closer inspection it’s changed a fair bit. There’s clear influence from the current 6 series and even the [...]
