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 [...]

Gadget Review – Neato XV-15 robotic vacuum cleaner

I had the pleasure of trying out the Neato XV-15, a helping hand to the busy modern lifestyle. I’ve always wanted a robotic vacuum cleaner, but I had reservations on whether such a device so small can carry out the functions of my Dyson. Suffice it to say, I was quite surprised and rather amused. [...]

Book Review: The Manga Guide To The Universe

The latest “The Manga Guide To..” series brings us the universe. This is the second book from the series I have reviewed and I was looking forward to how this will encompass the vastness of the universe as a topic.

Book Review: The Manga Guide to Relativity

“The Manga Guide To…” series has been reviewed before, but this time we hit the topic of relativity. This being a lazy Sunday afternoon, I had several options. Play StarCraft 2, watch anime or put my brain into gear and see how much information I can absorb. I chose the latter, and this being a [...]

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 [...]
