I was kinda wondering what the heck writers had in store for poor ol' Jack Bauer. I mean after 7 seasons, some very hellish days, probably a year or so of torture at the hands of the Chinese, some crazy stuff happening over in Africa...how much more can this man endure?Luckily it turns out that Jack is retired...but he's still dragged (kicking and screaming?) into saving the world. I look forward

Speaking of the Matrix, I came across this video through Pestaola.gr a week or two ago. I don't know if this is an actual Charle Chaplin film, or if it's been made to look like one - but it's a retro reimagining of the Matrix. How would the matrix have looked like if it was shot during the era of the silent film? Well have a look :-) (very entertaining if you are into silent cinema)

A week (or two?) ago Engadget had a new ad for the Nokia N900, and they had a light tongue and cheek comment about the ad hinting toward mental illness. I had a different take on the ad. The whole aesthetic of the ad reminds me of the original matrix (crossed perhaps with the Australian show the hollowmen). I expected agent Smith to make the focus group participants lose their mouth of something

Last week I came across this video of the iControl Pad, a peripheral for jailbroken iPhones that gives you a joypad for your iPhone. This enables you use emulators to play all the great games of yesteryear.Despite the clunkyness, the control pad seems quite usable, and it appears to have a built-in battery to keep your iPhone charged while you game away! I never really thought of playing old games

I came across this funny infographic over at theNextWeb.com about Geek 1.0 and Geek 2.0. Essentially Geek 1.0 is Moss from the IT crowd. Geek 2.0 is something like Roy from the IT crowd, or a Mac Genius (if you are familiar with Apple's retail stores).Now, the big questions is what about Chuck? He seems to straddle the line between Geek 1.0 and Geek 2.0. Is he a 1.5 or is he a 3.0? Is it too geeky

Άσχετη ιστορία που σε κάνει να ξανασκεφτείς...Τις προάλλες ήμουν σε ένα από τα μαθήματα μου, γλωσσολογία για την ακρίβεια, και έκανα μια παρουσίαση για το θέμα του critical reading. Με λίγα λόγια να διαβάζεις ένα κείμενο και να κάνεις

Well, the season is almost upon us...not quite MacHeist season yet (they are usually available around christmas time), but the team over at MacHeist has suprised us yet again! Head over to MacHeist.com to get your free copies of 6 apps for your Mac. I already got the Twitterrific code (an app that I use every single day!), and I installed WriteRoom and Mariner Write - looking forward to taking them

I've been keeping an eye out for video-game to movie franchises and our good ol' prince has made it (or is making it) to the screen this coming summer.The trailer looks kind of generic, if I do say so myself. Don't get me wrong, I am going to go see this movie, but I am only going to see it as someone who's played a number of the classic (DOS and Amiga) and newer (PSP) Prince of Persia games. This

OK, every now and again I come across a story in my RSS feed that sounds completely and utterly ridiculous. Here's one of them "Is twitter replacing RSS readers?" which is a response to Robert Scoble's "why I don't use Google Reader anymore".Seriously? I think Scoble, in this post at least, is taking on the persona of cranky old man waving a cane at the young'ins.One of the crazy things mentioned

Engadget has some first hands-on videos of the Xperia X10 Android handset from SonyEricsson.I have to say that post P800 SE just seemed like a "m'eh" type of company, but with innovations coming through using Android and S60, I have to say that I am interested again! Now if only the really supported american 3G bands...Head over to Engadget for the full review.
