I’m not a great fan of cloud computing. I can see how it is useful and how easy, and cheap, it will be for the users but what I don’t like is the lack of control and/or accountability. Maybe it is just because I am a control freak.
Here is a case of [...]
This sounds like a good step forward for our society. Biodegradable mice. Just think of the number of old computers, keyboards, monitors, mice and printers currently in landfill. Waste seems to follow our society.
Now it seems that the mouse isn’t completely biodegradable but most of it is. That coupled with the previously [...]
I still think Smart PDA type phones are the way of the future. There are many applications out there that show they are leading the way on innovative new ideas to make life easier for us.
Take this new application, iCar, that acts as a car cam and allows you to record what [...]
I believe the future is electric. I see us moving away from gas, oil and coal as providers of energy because, quite simply, it is the right direction to go. In saying that it needs to be done in a controlled manner, causing us the minimum impact possible, i.e. no impact, and as cheap [...]
Here is a proposed solution to everyones problem, except for the government of course, a new green fuel which directly replaces petrol. We will love it, a direct replacement for petrol at $1.50 a gallon (remember them). Greens will love it (or should if they were interested in facts) as it is a [...]
I like books. I like to hold them and read them, make notes in them and put little bits of paper in them to mark the interesting passages and they can be put down within reach for easy reference. As far as books are concerned I’m a Luddite and I’m happy with it.

Seems like a technique created for food may be applicable to medical use. Scientists are proposing that the technique used to preserve sushi can be used on human organs. Making longer term storage viable.
Normally, when something is frozen ice crystals form and as they form they expand, rupturing the cell walls and [...]
It seems that my search for a modern toilet has gone down the pan.
Instead of finding a tiolet that analyses your waste and monitors your health at a price we can all afford I find this. Toilet games.
What is the betting that these will make it into pubs and clubs and become [...]
It seems that the government is unable to steal enough from the poor public and the corporations to keep its IT funding in the way they have become accustomed.
Even though government systems have always been rubbish, poorly specified and managed by too many rules it seems that they have been designed with the [...]
I’ve said before how wonderful nature is. Some things are beautiful but deadly such as this cancer.
Some things are ugly but beneficial such as this Axokotl.
We discover new things every day that make us wonder and we learn from them. Medicine seems to be one of the biggest areas of [...]
