Microsoft tells IE faithful on Windows XP to avoid F1 key

admin | March 2, 2010

Still hanging around on Windows XP? Perfectly acceptable. Still using Internet Explorer to browse the world wide web? Just a wee bit less forgivable, but we understand that some of you simply can’t get around it. If we just rung your bell, you might want to rip the F1 key right off of your keyboard [...]

ASUS EeeKeyboard PC hands-on (slight return)

admin | March 2, 2010

Has it really been almost a year (to the day!) since we last gave some first-hand thoughts on ASUS’ audacious Eee Keyboard PC?

Porsche 918 Spyder concept is the most beautiful hybrid we’ve ever seen

admin | March 2, 2010

Um, we’re sure there’s something sensible to be said about this Porsche concept, but we’re not altogether capable of coherent expression at present. We want to own one of these so badly, we don’t even care if it has an engine. And boy does the 918 Spyder have an engine. A 6.2 liter V8 petrol [...]

Obviously this isn’t a complete [...]

ASUS EeeKeyboard PC delayed again, now shipping in April

After so many delays, we’ve nearly given up hope on the EeeKeyboard PC ever actually hitting retail. Having missed the February launch, ASUS chairman, Jonney Shih, just told us that the mythical, magical Eee Keyboard will now arrive in April. He also offered his apologies as ASUS tries to get the quality of the product [...]

Orange and T-Mobile UK merger approved by EU, forms 29.5 million customer juggernaut

admin | March 2, 2010

The European Commission has decided it doesn’t mind the crass splicing of pink (okay, magenta) and orange, and has therefore provided its tastefully hued green light to the UK merger of the two mobile operators. Once the transaction is completed this Spring, we’ll still be looking at two delineated entities on the consumer market, but [...]
