Its the shitz, man


We just had a phone call from Brett to tell us he couldn't make it to work today as he hasn't slept all night. He took home his new Gyrodec and spent the evening setting it up.

36 hours

The longest day of my life started in Salt Lake City, Utah. After a quick bite to eat and some cold and flu tablets, Paul and I jumped into a shuttle bus and headed for Chicago. A short stopover later and the next thing we know we're greeting the sun again at Heathrow airport.

Opinions

  • The Sharp Quattron has landed - rab
    We have just received the first examples of this much awaited divergent LCD tech screens from Sharp...
  • Transparent OLED Screen - rab

  • The writing on the wall... - troy

  • Obsolete ... - rab
