iPad Launch Day

April 3, 2010April 3, 2010 | Technology | Today is the Apple iPad launch day. I thought I would write a few words about this much-raved-about product. Personally, I still don’t see why and how this tablet should be so revolutionary. Maybe it is the user experience ...

Browser Wars

Nexus One Adventures

March 13, 2010September 24, 2018 | Technology | My Nexus One was rooted the same day I got it. In fact, it was rooted even before I got around to doing much with the phone. It’s something I consider a necessary consequence of owning a phone like the Nexus One. It’s ...

How to Copy a 8GB File in 1 Second

March 6, 2010May 14, 2016 | Technology | Sounds impossible. But it is. That’s if you have about US$60K to spend on a PC. Yup, just one PC. Patriot built a PC with 40 TorqX SSDs and demonstrated copying a Blu-ray rip in 0.9 seconds. That’s really super fast. ...

What if Google Became Evil

February 11, 2010October 26, 2014 | Technology | Google just launched yet another new service this week. It’s basically a Twitter-like service called Buzz. Not everything Googles jumps into actually takes off really successfully, so it is still to early to say how Buzz ...

Linux Kernel is Dazed and Confused

February 2, 2010 | Technology | The Linux kernel admits to being dazed and confused, but tries hard to continue. Unsuccessfully. One of our server died. We looked at the screen, and were amused enough that everyone (who had a decent camera phone) took a picture ...

iPad – iDisappointed

January 29, 2010April 3, 2010 | Technology | I fail to be wowed by Steve Jobs latest product announcement, the all new iPad, which is supposedly so revolutionary that it creates a new product category. I guess it still does deserve its own product category, but it is ...
