Archos 9 comes with a 9 inch touch sensitive display and the netbook weighing just 22 ounces is much more than a mere media player. It comes with the latest Intel Atom Z515 processor, a storage capacity of 60GB or 120GB and now it’s loaded with the latest Windows 7. The company hasn’t announced the price of the product yet and I don’t think it’s going to be cheap either. The company is planning to ship the product by...

Military researchers have built a tiny drone that looks and flies like a hummingbird. It flaps its little robotic wings to stay in air like the real birds. The mock bird has only stayed aloft for 20 seconds at a time. But it has shown its capability as a spy in this short spick of time. AeroVironment doesn’t just want the little drone to fly like a bird but also look like one. So it has been given by...

Sony had major plans to make a PSP without the UMD drive right from the beginning of the system’s life. The company didn’t want to just bring it on just like that because they thought nobody would enjoy it. So they built the right environment for it first. They have been working on this for the past two years. It certainly makes sense for Sony to plan ahead so far in advance, since most hardware manufacturers do. [1UP]...

Freaky! Those of you who has acrophobia, or fear of heights, will faint just reading this. In Chicago, there’s a new element of tourism. It is the service to see the city in air.

It is a balcony at the Sears Tower, which has a small extension outside the building contours, made of glass....

The Sonos C100 which costs $400 did not have a touch screen. The cousin, CR200 comes with a touch screen but why do I have this feeling that it is a bit late now. But whatever it is, its Sonos fault anyway. Come on I can’t take the blame can I? well we don’t have any price or specifications for this yet but it is surely going to be tough competing as an add-on product especially if it is...

These are lights at an exhibition called Artemide. One of the cool entries is the Altrove by Carlotta de Bevilacqua, which is a decorative wall or ceiling light that uses transparent wires to allow the light to flow. The interesting feature of this lighting system is that it makes you all confused thinking what is this thing! The next one is Ross Lovegrove's Cosmic Leaf. This one is actually awesome. It falls like a hallucinated piece of furnishing and...

I still dread the sight of the wooden scale that was constant companion to school as it rolled over in my bag with everything else that I used to pack. This is mainly because it was used as a weapon against me for squandering my evenings in the park, thus missing out on my homework. My palms would go red and warm with the whacks that old Mrs. Robinson inflicted on them. However, I’ve grown up to be a...

Off late Windows has gained reputation as one of the most unreliable system to build critical software. It is also prone to virus attacks and is a favorite target of hackers around the world. This belief was reinforced when all activities at London Stock Exchange (LSE) came to a standstill after its Windows-based TradElect system allegedly had a problem. TradElect was created by Microsoft and Accenture with the goal to maintain sub-ten millisecond response times, real-time system speeds, for...

There will be a day when we all stand up to those crowds of paparazzi who will click away, just to get my face on their newspapers. But hey, that’s not what I want the fame for. I prefer the money, the gigs and a Grammy or two. So how do I fend off these hounds? Ah! Here’s it! The Anti-paparazzi purse that allows me to remain unseen in most (if not all) photographs on Page 3. The purse...

He had redefined music a couple of decades ago, bridged gaps between genres and even introduced the element of dance, to go with live ‘non-lip-synching’ performances. Best know for being the highest sold artist on the music stands, Jackson’s music is still worth more than a penny. Just a week after the death of the King of Pop, a million songs of his were sold on the Internet already, creating a new record. His music will completely dominate the...
