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.

Rachel McAdams & Why "Green Is Sexy"

Whenever movie stars or celebrities get involved with the Internet, I can’t help but roll my eyes.

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.

Dell Considers Building Indian Tech Recycling Plants

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

Gender Blogging: Writing Under a Female Name Online

Blogger James Chartrand revealed this week that "he" is actually a she and deliberately took up the name after finding it impossible to make a living as a female blogger and facing ridicule and dismissal. It's hard to tell whether female bloggers were more disgusted that pretending to be a misogynist jerk actually worked or depressed that nothing has chang...

Machinarium: Worn Out Places, Worn Out Faces

Videogames that trigger any form of emotion apart from “grrrrr I need to kill them all” are few and far between. When it comes to games available online, they are even rarer.
