ems as if the future is here today as Telstra demonstrated a working Hologram displaying a person giving a speech from 460 miles away in Australia.

The life sized 3D image was projected onto the stage where CEO Hugh Bradlow interacted with the audience (who he could see via webcam feeds)

This has been one of the few real examples of hologram technology put into use for communcations, although it is still too expensive for any real business or personal use.

The hologram technology is a fantastic step forward, and proof that it can be done with todays tehnology. … Continue Reading»

Solid State Hard Drives, such as the flash cards you use in your camera, have long been proposed as the future of information storage.

The Nokia N96 was first revealed to us at the 2008 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.  Ever since I saw this phone i have to admit I wanted it, with its sleek looks, massive array of gadgets built in and its tech prowess that stands it head and shoulders above the competition.

Unfortunately Nokia have made the exact same mistake that they made with the N95.  They have built a phone and then priced it ridiculously.  For the same price as this ($802 Dollars or around 550 Euros, £400) you could get… Continue Reading»

9X are one of the worlds top leaders in monitor design solutions, this was all but apparent as I stared up at this gigantic, and aparently ergonomic Beast that sat in their lobby.

From this picture you cannot actually grasp the sheer size of this technological gargantuan godsend.  I did not dare ask how much they charged for a 30 screen combined visual unit, and instead walked into the back of the store to see some of their other products (Whch can be viewed here).

After nearly half an hour… Continue Reading»

I saw the LED Pillow alarm as I was browsing teh web this morning, jsut after having my alarm rattle my head, and I couldn’t help but think ‘Genius Idea!’

Then two things hit me, first off i have a tendance to sleep on my back, and secondly that if three rather noisy vocal alarms can wake me up what chance does this have?

So in the spirit of enquiry I borrowed a light emitting alarm off a friend who had recommended it.  I was quite surprised when i used… Continue Reading»

Today he proves this with his release of Light Emitting Wallpaper that will make its debut this year at a Milan Design Festival. This wallpaper not only houses an infinate array of designs but it can also be switched off and leave the wallpaper jsut as it would be without the lights.

Infact the only downside I can see to this amazing looking technology that can easily keep a whole room well lit is the sole… Continue Reading»

When Sony first announced their HD DVD format, otherwise known as Blu-ray they said it would be uncrackable for 10 years, minimum.  It does however seem that our friends at Skysoft had already cracked it in November, they were simply waiting to see which format won the war before releasing a new version of their software.

Personally I think this is a good thing, not for the aspect of people burning their own copies of Blu-ray movies, but more because I hate the fact that Sony is always… Continue Reading»
