Recent postsI have to admit that since I started this blog back in November 2007, I did not expect it to become so addictive. Writing daily became an enjoyable activity, despite the difficulty of trying to combine it with my job activities. My wife’s technical background and ideas were also very motivating, she provided much needed [...]
It all looks like great fun and I am sure it is superb stress relief. And it only costs some feathers! I am talking about massive pillow and water fights arranged via Facebook and the Internet in general. But unfortunately such events can cause considerable damage -see thousands of euros- like in the case of [...]
Maybe you do not mind RFID passport controls, after all if security wants to know something they will definitely ask. But I am sure you do mind if you are in constant danger of having your RFID data stolen by anyone that has the not-so-difficult-to-get know-how. So what do you do? But of course kill [...]
A few days ago I wrote about the new Sony PMW-EX3. Camcorderinfo has an ergonomy preview that you might find interesting. Of course, for a product that costs $13,000 everything counts, even the smallest button. For more details and photos of a pre-production PMW-EX3 you are strongly advised to check out Philip Bloom’s preview. What [...]
A few days ago I started posting “Favourite tech picture of the day” posts. These are in no way replacements for ElectronRun’s normal posts, but represent a small addition that is relaxing and fun.
Spending so much time online and lurking in different sites related to technology unavoidably reveals some super fun pictures I would like to [...]
Is blogging a lethal activity?
Maybe this post arrives a bit late, I have to admit I wanted to read the opinions of other people that are heavily involved with blogs. It all refers to a recent article by the New York Times that describes the blogging profession with pessimism and a stereotypical view. I am [...]
Arthur Clarke is a typical case of an outstanding person ahead of its time. During World War II he got involved as an officer with the British early warning radar system that was one of the decisive factors that helped turn the war tide. As early as 1945, he conceived the use of satellites and [...]
Web surfing on mobile devices is a so far perenial problem and all kinds of indirect solutions are being used. Skyfire is a californian company that wants to make smartphone web surfing identical to that on a PC. Its software is free, currently in beta stage and supports embedded content like Flash 9, Quicktime and [...]
From today I see that Wordpress gives me a whole 3 GB available for my blog -instead of the previous 50 MB.
Thank you Wordpress! I am so glad I chose you for Electronrun!
Now that US economic forecasts do not look so rosy, consumer response related to electronic products has become a constant worry. Manufacturers are churning out new models as if there is no tomorrow and if we are to believe the uplifting CES atmosphere all is going smooth. So who is right, the optimists that believe that the [...]
Electronrun wishes you a great 2008 with health and super tech surprises!
Now that 2008 is only a couple of days away is the right time to write about the developments I would like to see. I am not in favour of votes for the best of each category of 2007. We have all bought and used stuff this last year, we have also already done our [...]
This post is a direct result of recent rumours in several blogs that state that Intel’s Penryn chips might appear later in the market than originally projected because AMD currently has a very weak product line and is not a threat even for Intel’s current CPU models! Of course Intel has the last word in this, but even the rumour is [...]
Unless somebody has been hibernating or decided to live deep in the amazon basin for the last three decades they must have noticed the gradual encroachment of technology in all aspects of our life. Things were interesting enough in the late 70s and the early 80s with the first personal computers. The introduction of CDs [...]
