  I hijacked the PS3 at Mind Candy – LGGD 6th Anniversary

  It was that time again, another birthday for London Girl Geek Dinners and this time Mind Candy kindly hosted the event. Since the lovely Judith Lewis was the organiser, chocolate was involved.

  Review: HP ProBook 5330m laptop

  I got a chance to play with this laptop sometime ago; it has some interesting features such as the Beats Audio sound. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the brushed aluminium chassis. It is quite shiny and I cannot help but feel they tried to take a leaf out of [...]
