Google Chrome promises to be the next evolution of web browsers for the internet, they claim to run multi processor tab browsing with a good balance of “simplicity meets complexity”, in other words they want some cool features in there but they don’t want to bulk it out and slow it down.

For months now my main computer which is Microslow Winbloze XP would be mysteriously rebooted whilst I was away from it, I just put it down to some Windows updates which forced a reboot. Occasionally it would also just cut out but we do seem to get short lasting power cuts fairly often

That was my Wireless WUSB54GS yesterday as it laid in the bin.
Ok a little over dramatic, it never quite got to the bin but it was close on a few occasions. Ubuntu is an opensource Operating System which is basically a Linux Variant. An OS (Operating System) you will most likely be familiar with is […]

Think about OO. it’s really nothing more than a set of classes […]

Finally I can play with my own Wii, I’ve waited so long for this, I just haven’t Wii - ing since Sunday.
I’m very impressed with it too, this is the first Nintendo console I’ve owned since the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), in fact I still have the original NES and SNES some where in […]
