First off, this article is long overdue. But as they say, better late than never (whoever said that is a genius, by the way). Unfortunately, as of today, tablets have become synonymous with the iPad. Though tablets have been in existence for a long time, they have only gained popularity now (for numerous reasons not within the scope of this post). One of the major reasons for this has been the

A month or two back, I wrote about GM's tryst with the "green-movement" - the result of that unholy union was the Chevy Volt (and I'm still psyched about it!).Well it seems like those leprechauns are at it again! This time, they've gone straight to root! They've bewitched those incorrigible fools at BP (which is short for "Bouffons de Pluton" or "Buffoons from Pluto") to get rid of all the

Ever wondered what the deal is with Sony's logo for their VAIO series? Sure, it's an acronym and you can get the non-abbreviated phrase with a simple Google search, but do you know why the logo looks like the way it does? Look closely: The letters "V" and "A" together make up an analog signal (the proverbial sinusoid). The other two letters that look like the numbers one and zero, represent a

What? 'Realistic' and 'Concept Phone' in the same sentence? This is madness! That is perhaps whats is going through your head right now, but I'm not trying to beguile you. Andrew Kim of Design Fabulous has arguably done just that.Most concept phones are usually products of violent nerdgasms; as improbable as they are dreamy. But not the HTC 1, which finds its roots in utilitarianism. And that

It's no wonder "El secreto de sus ojos" won an Oscar! (Not to mention a bunch of other awards.) I saw it a few weeks ago in the theater, and there might not have been many people watching it, but those who were stayed through all of the credits. In my experience, people tend to leave even before they see who the actors are. We all stayed to see who the costume trainee and digital intermediate

As of July 1, 2010, any Starbucks you walk into in the US or Canada, will be host to free WiFi. No payments, no time-limits. That next cup of Frappuccino will surely taste really good.

Well, that isn't true entirely as of yet. Anyway, if you didn't hear about this last October, I'll append your memory. Back in October, 2009, the Finns passed a law that would make high-speed internet a civil right in Finland. Yes, you read that right: A Right to Internet. So, the law called for the deployment of these internet connections by July 2010. And, you know, it's July. As per the law,

This isn't a Chinese rip-off of Japan's Asimo. And it surely isn't a nuclear warhead. This is Surena II, built by Iranian students and unveiled recently by Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Its predecessor, Surena, was built two years ago and was remote controlled. The new version, apparently, can carry itself about autonomously. And while the Iranians are eons away from a robot that has

I found this idea exhilarating. We've all used a real notepad (maybe) before. And, well, quite a few have an idea about the virtual notepad provided by the Windows operating system (if you're a Mac user, and there's a high probability that you are, you don't need to hit the back button; I'm not done with what I want to say, so stop judging me!). But, here's something I came across, that I feel is

I'm sure 9.9 of 10 readers of this article use Google for all their search needs (or possibly Yahoo or Bing). Well, while 9.9 of you have been sticking to these good ol' search heavyweights, that last .1 reader (shut up) have been using newer, snappier and snazzier search engines. In the past year or so, there has been a mini uprising of new search engines with more features compared to Google/

E3 2010! Lot of noise about motion-control with Microsoft and Sony announcing the Microsoft Kinect and the Playstation Move. Good for them! It's not like Nintendo did the same thing 4 years ago with the Wii and now has a new enhanced set of motion-based-controllers! But that's OK, because Sony just announced Full-3D gaming capabilities for the PS3! Kaz Hirai, the president of Sony's Networked

It's official! Project Natal is a project no more! Microsoft has announced the release of the final product: Microsoft Kinect. It seems units will come out this November. Hit this link to read about it more. Time to invest in an Xbox if you haven't already.

Fact: People in Hong Kong and Macau drive on the left side of the road. And, people in China drive on the right side of the road. Situated so close to each other, how would you connect roads between the two "regions"? Fascinating question, isn't it? Well, at least for the architecturally-inclined. So, there are already a couple of such changeover systems in place. The first of its kind is the
