A news report has quoted Samsung’s “bullish forecast” for Blu-ray
adoption and sales, but this is hardly a surprise now that it is the
only high-def optical format on the market. Still, has Blu-ray left its
run too late?

The 3G Blackberry 9000 series – due for release in the US soon – and a

The Fiat 500, said to be ‘car of the year’ in the UK, is as cute as a

where’s the electric version that would make this car glide, instead of
sputter?

Uh-oh... pirate copies of Grand Theft Auto IV are roaming around the
web, causing havoc - but why risk downloading a pirate copy at 6.32GB

Roll up, roll up - who wants to buy US WiMAX spectrum? The spectrum:
billions of dollars. The equipment you'll need to sell to consumers to
access that spectrum: billions more. The look on Spectrum Wireless
executives faces when they sell that spectrum? Priceless.

How quickly will Australia’s dominant telco, Telstra, act to fix
remaining CDMA blackspots now that CDMA network has been given the
green light to shut down on Monday April 28? A Liberal Party Senator

If you’ve been using AVG’s free Anti-Virus 7.5 on your computer, it’s
time to upgrade. Why? So you get the new version with free anti-spyware
protection, as well as search protection, showing you a real-time

not. But where’s the Firefox 3 compatibility?

Remember that 3G iPhone ‘black case’ that has made the rounds of the
Internet? Turns out it’s just a third party case that you can pick up

Are the inclusion of GPS, a 3G chipset, a black plastic back that still
won’t let you replace the battery and a normal (not recessed) headset
socket the only differences in the upcoming 3G iPhone? Or does Steve
Jobs still have some iSurprises up his iSleeve?

A Linux Ubuntu 8.04 virgin no longer, I popped my own cherry last
night, installing Hardy Heron for the first time, with some odd

Got Windows XP and feel like breaking the law? We don’t recommend it,
for it’s illegal, but XP SP3 is reportedly available on torrent sites –
