48 hours with my Samsung Galaxy S3

There are several ways to stab people in the face; a sword, knife, pencil… but not with a Samsung Galaxy S3. The sleek curved lines on Samsung’s new mobile telephony device are a pleasant, albeit slightly retro, change to the normal sharp-edged oblong slabs you see from other phones. Indeed, I was quite impressed with [...]

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.

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.
