Sure, I can understand that the estimated 300 million people on Facebook are going to create a hubbub that makes it increasingly difficult to be heard and I'm not going to point fingers at number 299 millionth person (when it was really the 718,543rd one anyway, I'm looking at you, Edith). Nonetheless, the strains of this enormous size have become apparent.

As we mentioned last year, Xbox Reverb is a seriously cool way for fans to see their favorite artists perform in small, more intimate venues. Essentially, Xbox Reverb gigs are a bit DIY, as fans have the chance to interact with their favourite bands and influence all aspects of the gig from DJ-ing on the night, from designing the gig’s poster and to selecting tracks ...

I’ve never really understood the fascination with really big, fancy, LCD-HD-Plasma-whatever TVs.Sure, they look really nice when you’re walking through the TV section of Currys or Target, but I never really understood why people would spend the money on a 42” LCD TV, when surely you could just buy a smaller, cheaper flatscreen TV and be just as satisfied.

As someone who always felt life would be much better if one could carry around a few hundred books at the same time, I am quite enthusiastic about the new Apple iPad. While eBook readers have been around a while and do a decent job of letting readers lug around an excessive amount of books, I could never justify another electronic device just to have a bunch of books on myself at all times.

Yeah, everyone was excited about the unveiling of the new Apple tablet computer. They braced themselves for the inevitable Twitter crash (which didn't seem to happen after all). Geeks everywhere were poised to trumpet or decry the new product depending upon where they positioned themselves along the Steve-Jobs-Messiah-or-Huckster continuum. But the one thing that seemed to be overlooked was the impac...

There is something about eBay that scares me. It scares me in the same way giant thrift stores scare me: I never know where anything is, and I never know how to find it. Yes, I understand that you can, like, search for things and that there are categories, but whenever anyone says, “Look on eBay.” I suddenly become very overwhelmed.

Back in Autumn I wrote about The Impossible Project Urban Outfitter's attempts to bring back the Polaroid in when they were gathering support for the discontinued device through selling books and displaying the history of Polaroids in-store.

Whenever movie stars or celebrities get involved with the Internet, I can’t help but roll my eyes. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s foreplay on Twitter is enough to make me throw up and Kim Kardashian’s blog – albeit highly entertaining – is also high on the “Will It Make You Vom?” scale. Because celebrity’s online are so nauseating, I was pretty skeptical when in I read in

Before I write anything about CSI: Hard Evidence, I have a confession to make… I love the TV show so much I came up with a special dance to go with the credits. That’s to give you an idea of just how receptive I am to a game emulating my favourite show. It is not a bad game either, despite its being a massive throwback to 1998 – but I am not against a spot of vintage gaming.

I interviewed Dell’s “lead environmental strategist” yesterday, and I admit I didn’t expect to be convinced by him. The way I saw it, Dell – and other tech companies – are the bad boys, the ones who drag their feet over removing toxic materials from computers, and the ones who make astronomical profits from selling us technology while ignoring the
