Not for the faint hearted - especially just after you have eaten! Currently the tallest, fastest and longest drop roller coaster. Watch at your own risk!
Interesting video of a Delta IV rocket take off - up close and personal. Move you mouse left to right and up and down whilst the video plays!/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/6304327/NK_16_8213.0.jpg)
Cross between a drone and a helicopter, this has a lot of potential especially since it is electric and pollution free!
Not good news for the PC manufacturers. In the past we have had to upgrade PC hardware to run the latest Windows OS but Windows 10 runs quite happily on Windows 7 hardware. My favourite PC manufacturer, Lenovo, still remains top dog with 19.3% of market share!
Some interesting photos of the SpaceX launch and landing. See the full video at http://www.spacex.com/webcast/.
Apple iOS enjoys nearly 43% market share in the US - very different to the rest of the world which is largely Android. Either way Microsoft hardly gets a look in!
Think I will leave this one without a comment!
Nice improvement to Speedtest.net coming after a suitable period of beta testing. Go to beta.speedtest.net to try it out!
Be very careful to NOT click on links or open attachments on emails from supposedly Fedex, Australia Post etc. If in doubt as to its origin just delete! Never leave you backup hard drive connected to your PC!!
Google Calendar now has a Bin (Trash) that holds deleted calendar entries for 30 days! It works very well!
Looks like Dropbox is trying to muscle in on Google Docs and Office Online!
Watch those flash drives that you get for free and not in a packet from a reputable manufacturer. Another reason to use the 'Cloud' for backing up and transferring data!
There is some real innovation coming out of Microsoft these days! Just watch this 9 minute video! You had better start moving Apple!
I have always advocated that desktops have a longer average lifetime and a lower cost of ownership. This is what you trade for the portability of a laptop.
Chromecast is so good but I am really looking forward to getting a Chromecast Audio so that I can stream music to my traditional Hi-Fi via Wi-Fi!
Interesting new service from PayPal allowing direct payments between family and friends.
Presumably this will not work for those connected to the Internet over the Foxtel cable as it has no access to the fixed telephone line.
Interesting background to Linux that now forms the base for most consumer and commercial computing today.
Whilst not a Facebook user, I do appreciate the significant contribution Facebook has made to social networking!
Makes you wonder what it sounded like in the cockpit of this plane when it was hit by a hailstorm.
