I was reading this blog post recently on Enhanced eBooks on idealog. Part of the blog post was familiar, having lived through the technology-days of the early 90s, and part was brand spanking new to me. For example I did not know of Expanded Books. I was surprised that these expanded books worked on HyperCard because as a Mac owner (in 1994...or was it 1995?) I had not seen any of these expanded

I guess this is a jab at some horrendous video game adaptations of movies (looking at you ET!, and others). I found this via Boing Boing today - a retro look at what a (crappy) rendition of Avatar would look like, in video game form, for the 2600. It's easier to make fun of bad games for the NES and pre-NES era, that still amuses us. Bad games for the playstation and beyond era don't even muster

Props for @nellleo on twitter that brought this to my attention :-)So Printers are sent from hell! This was a funny little comic strip about one man's frustrations with printers. As someone who does not own a printers at home (any more), I can commiserate. The thing that I found astonishing was that printers no longer come with a USB cable! You buy a "cheap" printer, but then you have to shell out

I came across this inforgraphic last weekend through a contact on twitter (@titanas if I remember correctly). I have to say that I was really surprised at the production/consumption level. I assumed that since a lot of porn is made in the US, that the US would be chief consumer, however China, Japan and South Korea make up 76% of the world's total porn consumption (if revenues are any indication

Τώρα κατοχοίρωσα και αυτό το μπλόγκ στο sync.gr(απλό τέστ αυτό το δημοσίευμα για να δουλέψει το sync)

Εδώ και περίπου ένα μήνα χρησιμοποιώ την εφαρμογή foursquare για το iPhone. Η ιδέα της εφαρμογής είναι πως όλοι μας συνχάζουμε σε κάποια μέροι, όλοι μας έχουμε φίλους και γνωστούς, οπότε μπορούμε να δούμε αν στα λημέρια που συχνάζουμε

I have to say, the Google Nexus is very impressive! So much so that I would not mind giving up my iPhone for it (mmmm...OK, maybe not - but I would use both ;-) ) There is only one small problem - no 3G coverage on the 850 and 1900 frequencies, namely the frequencies that at&t uses.Of course you could buy it unlocked for $500 and use it on GSM/EDGE on at&t but that's so 2000! Why would I spend $500

I was a bit skeptical of the whole "keyboard on the back side" of the motorola backflip - but having seen this video (even in mute) does make the device intriguing. The one thing that is a bit of a concern is that the specs look to be the same as the CLIQ that is presently available for T-Mobile. Interesting form factor, but could we do something about the specs?

I saw this over at the nextweb the other day - pretty funny! What's funnier is that I had a fascinating discussion about twitter-talk (SMS spelling) right after I saw this - completely impromptu

This is wicked cool!They've made a Left 4 Dead version for the NES...I love retrofication :-)
