Hands-on with Samsung Galaxy S3

The hype was slowly building and it has been ramping up for several weeks now. But the wait is finally over, as I entered Earl’s Court to discover what new device Samsung was unveiling to the world. Samsung have done well to be very tightly lipped about what new device they have been working on, [...]

Alienware X51 event – 3D model of yours truly by NVIDIA

If you remember, I attended the launch party of the Alienware X51 gaming PC. In between getting abused at the Street Fighter tournament and playing on shiny new boxes, I took a break to have my face scanned by NVIDIA. A 3D wireframe was generated based on this facial scan to construct models, using 3D [...]

LG Future TV event – A unified approach

I felt the stars were aligning when I discovered that my TV had a dead pixel. This is most unacceptable and of course it means I must now buy a new TV which was my plan all along. Television technology has been moving at a rapid pace and the choice available to consumers provides us [...]

Alienware European launch – X51

Alienware have been busy and Girlygeekdom had the privilege of being invited to the European launch of their new magical box, the X51. Upon first look, it reminds me of the XBox 360 S console with the almost monolithic yet sleek lines. However, this does not mean the insides are meager. On the contrary, it [...]

The diary of a female I.T consultant

I’ve not been in this consultancy business for long, but I have been a technical architect for some time. The difference with consultancy is that it seems even more cut throat in a highly competitive environment. Why? Because there are even more egos floating around that is desperate for attention. Before I begin, being a [...]

Christmas ideas? Canon EOS 7D DSLR Camera

First of all, I’m not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate a fine camera when I see one. I used to have a Sony DSC-R1 for many years; in fact at every event or spectacle it rarely left my side. I felt that it was lacking somewhat in [...]
