  • Yahoo Time Capsule

    Much has been said of the yahoo time capsule project, and the stupidity of it. Why waste this much energy to beam a message into space, when everyone know that considering the rotation of the earth the message will only be visable for a fraction of a microsecond even at the closest star?

  • A Featureette if you will.

    Everyone loves the all in wonder. The Swiss army knife of programs, gadgets and do dads. But what very few things do is concentrate on improving the user experience on their primary function instead of just simply adding features. Take a PDA or a cell phone both are very useful and functional pieces of hardware […]

  • Terminology: extended rant

    Ok so we have talked a little about terminology in the past, specifically about LCD’s in relation to tech or geek minded people.
