Well today I played on the notorious Playstation portable and I actually wanted to find something terrible with it, but surprisingly I am very pleased with it. I was playing “liberty city” and to my eyes the quality was just as good as the PS2, I am aware of the fact that many people who read blogs and who know just the slightest about PC will loath all forms of consoles, but you know what this is different. I think that I could spend a whole day in the back of a car with one of these playing games or watching movies. I think by now most probably have seen the PSP on TV or even in real...

Quite a cool thing from ‘Harold Hanek’, a Wikipedia browser. It basically allows you to browse Wikipedia faster online using AJAX technology. Gollum is the name of my newest crime of invention. By reducing the complexity of information, I have created a fast and eyefriendly browser through the free encyclopedia “Wikipedia”. Originally this invention was built up for my daughter but now I have expanded it to the world for free as an open source project under GPL. -> Check it out!

GMail (or should I start calling it Google Mail?) has added yet another free feature: Virus scanning is here! Get an automatic check-up every time you open or send a message with an attachment. We even try our best to remove viruses so we can protect you against all the ones we find. You’re on your own with the common cold (try chicken soup). Learn more Update: Usayd Ideas on the new developments; PC Advisor suggest that maybe Gmail is finally exiting the beta stage. I personally think that as long as Google continually update GMail then, like their other services, it will continue to become...

At last a new bèta after the eBay purchase: Skype v2.0 bèta is now a fact. Apart from a few changes in the layout, new features have also been added. Stuff that caught my eye immediately are: personal messages that appear next to your name in the contact-list (much like in msn) , new ‘bubble’ sounds, and most important of all: video. Yep, they finally added a web cam feature. Haven’t been able to test it yet, but you can read a review on Skype v2 at latimes.com (you need to register, or use bugmenot ). I’m glad to see that Skype finally added web-cam support, because...

Fisk, in yet another stirring account, paints a disturbing picture of recent history and events in Iraq and the Middle East. I highly recommend listening to this! Robert Fisk yet again speaks the truth. – ICH -

What got slashdotted recently? “Dell Finally Goes for AMD…” While “Remarked Celerons Sold As P4s…” Macworld reports that iPod is competing with Barbie’s for the top 10 girls toys.. What is going on in the world?! I am never usually ‘against’ the advance in technology, in fact I am not against it but I am slightly weary that things generated by the advance in technology such as computers, multimedia, TV and electronic entertainment are possibly taking too much of a role in peoples lives. I know that many children (and adults) spend a lot more...
