The Nintendo 3DS literally allows you to play games in 3D, WITHOUT the need for 3D glasses. That’s right, non of those dorky glasses, you can actually use the Nintendo 3DS console out and about.

If you had to use 3D glasses you could pretty much guarantee that you would… Continue Reading»

For those of you who don’t know, CSS3 has been in development for some time and browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, and Safari have kept at the cutting edge of this technology for years. However Internet Explorer has refused to include any CSS3 compatibility in it’s last two releases,  much to the annoyance of the thousands of web developers who love to use the gradients and radial curves which CSS3 allows.

The original mobile phones cost around £2,000 in the money of the day,  today that would be worth around £6,000, They also weighed in at around 6 Kg, and had to be carried around in a shoulder bag.
