  A super professional concept video, but this style of flip makes no sense to me. You may get a more pocket friendly device, but the compromises required would be far too numerous to make it worthwhile. And, how many people… Read More ›

• ‘Trapped’ by the iPhone

  By Shaun on March 21, 2021 • ( 3 )

  

  I have willingly trapped myself in the Apple ecosystem, and I’m not looking for a way out. I’d wager that this is the case for a lot of others, too, given how effectively the company has managed to market itself… Read More ›

  I headed down to Osaka for the opening day to see exactly how Nintendo and USJ would pull this off. The short answer is that they’ve succeeded. Super Nintendo World is a gleefully surreal experience that pushes surprising technological boundaries…. Read More ›

  I received a new work laptop this week. It was much quicker and powerful enough to cope with every piece of software I need to use in my job. It was also long overdue, but the jump in performance makes… Read More ›

  The Crescent Earth rising beyond the Moon’s barren horizon, July 26-August 7, 1971 sold for £50,000 through Christie’s. This is a print. Yes, it is a print and Russ Garrett is right with the following tweet– It’s a PRINT of… Read More ›
