Sony’s new VAIO S Series notebooks are looking damned sexy. There, I said it. I know it is supposed to “increase productivity” as the press release shouts at me due to a hefty amount of great features, but I think the design alone is enough for a posting. It features a 13.3″ screen, a “Dynamic [...]

Microsoft have announced that they have worked on a new mouse. The “Touch Mouse”. I can sense the lack of excitement already… It essentially does what a normal mouse does but with the added extra of gestures like flicking to scroll and other actions.

It’s a long standing question asked by many around the world about such a prestigious event, one that everyone just cannot wait for the answer.

Regional prizes include monitors and motherboards, and even those voting on the best stories can win tech too. [...]

I’ve been using Dropbox for quite a while and for some reason I haven’t actually brought it up on TM yet. Strange, because it’s a fantastically useful service that more people should use… Dropbox is a synchronised off-site file-sharing service which is stupidly simple to use. You install an application which creates a folder (unsurprisingly) [...]

Google are looking to kill the humble Jpeg by introducing their own format of image compression weirdness: WebP Based on the VP8 codec used for video, WebP apparently reduces the file size by 39% on average, saving you, your ISP and the website you’re downloading those classy images from money, which will certainly help those [...]

HTC has announced the Desire HD and Desire Z, along with “connected services” through HTCSense.com The new handsets are fairly hefty upgrades to the Desire.
