If you have been wondering all these years where all your money went, telecoms should be at the top of your list. I do not want to think of the unavoidably huge amounts that went to calls for family and friends… It is with great happiness and a feeling of sweet revenge that I read [...]
The newly announced Olympus E-450 comes to replace the existing E-420 that we covered in 2008. This is indeed a quick replacement. The competition in the entry DSLR segment is fierce, with competitors like the Canon 1000D, the Pentax K-m, or even from inside the 4/3 universe via the Micro 4/3 Panasonic DMC-G1 and its [...]
Finally the Tesla Model S is here! It is sleek, but somehow it is heavily inspired from Maserati designs and has an Alfaesque or Mazdaesque butt. I much prefer the initial proposal with the massive low air intake and the gorgeous wide rear. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, why do designs always get fiddled and overcooked? I am sure [...]

Megapixels have not stopped creeping up, now at a slower pace than previous years of the decade. Many are happy with what they got, others will [...]
The PS3 started as a promising super game machine. As a real product, it developed into a mildly accepted new game console. In a way the PS3 together with Blu-ray discs and Windows Vista are the great disappointments of recent years. The later two however are near monopolies, while Sony has to beat the Wii [...]
A custom PC case of ancient Egyptian proportions. Lots of work to fit everything in an awkward volume and get the cooling right, the result needs to be applauded.
Let’s make it clear it clear from the start. I am not a hardcore gamer. So when it comes to violent games I am not hardened enough to ignore extreme violence and non ethical behaviour. But at the same time I recognise computer games as a full blown type of recreation and try to at [...]
Since the advent of USB connections the number of available accessories have grown exponentially and never seize to impress.
