The Palm Pre is the Boston Red Sox of smartphones. The Red Sox won the first “World Series” championship in 1903. Palm’s first product, the Palm Pilot 1000, was the first populist handheld device.

Then what happened? The Red Sox closed an 86-year losing streak by barely squeezing out a championship to the dominant New York [...]

A boom technology – and a boon technology – of the last five years, satellite navigation systems have seen many a motorist bidding a not-sofond farewell to the dog-eared roadmaps that used to live in pieces under the passenger seat.

Nikon’s brand-new D5000 camera is essentially a Nikon D90 re-packaged in a cheaper camera body, with a funky yet lower-resolution screen added.  Within Nikon’s camera family, the D5000 lives snugly between the Nikon D60 – their £400 entry-level snapper – and the D90 – Nikon’s photographic weapon for the more serious amateur market.

The Review
 
It’s testament to the longevity of our favourite elementary school brats that the first South Park box sets came out on VHS. 12 seasons later Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny have made their way to Blu-ray and we’re still laughing our wooly hats off.
