Whats New: Windows 8

With the success of windows 7 (after then bungling mess that was vista Microsoft is hard at work with Windows 8. The information is starting to trickle out about the new features that are being added to 8. The biggest and most obvious change is the initial interface that your given when the computer starts up, instead of getting the desktop interface that has been then staple of windows since 3.1, the user is given the windows metro (Box Style) interface from the Windows Phone. It seems Microsoft wants this to become the main way that people interact with Windows, and this targets tablet computers much more than the traditional PC. Each of the boxes are set up as “Apps” which are opened apon clicking, and one of these is... (more...)

iGamers Return: Samsung Galaxy S2 Review

It has been quite a while since i’ve updated my blog. I’ve been overwhelmed with uni and just felt i didn’t have time for it, but a twing in me still wants to post reviews of things i’ve been trying in my off time and discuss new technology thats coming.

Adam Investigates: The Internet Weirdness

I like many other have been baffled by the strange changes to the internet over the last few weeks, so after a helpful suggestion from a friend, i decided to create this segment, to discuss the weirdness of the time.

They changed the player to a more streamline flash version a while back, and are now beta testing a HTML5 version, which looks very similar to the old one.

News: SGU Season 1 Finale Approaches

In 1 day 15hours and 29 minutes from the time i post this blog entry the season final of Stargate Universe will be wrapped up in a little bow. We already know that there will be a season 2, and from the scuttlebut it will be much better than the first. My favourite episode would have to be S01E11 “Space”, and i don’t think that will be changed by the airing of Incursion Pt 2. The show has had up’s and down’s especially because of the cancelling of Stargate Atlantis right before its startup making the fans of SGA think that they were trying to replace it, but as the story goes along i feel that it will get better, and i don’t care what the critics have to say, its still stargate! DocFox01 A.F.K. Watch Stargate... (more...)

Ok so i finally got round to buying and playing Halo Wars, it was $30 at Dick Smith and i just couldn’t say no anymore.
