I am often asked what the difference between overstreer and understeer are.  Well, i’ve been working my way through all of Top Gear from season 1 recently, and I found this little snippet of a gem in season 2 episode 5.

So heres a very simple explanation from the one and only Richard Hammond.

Check out this video of a flexible OLED prototype, by Samsung, its a 2.8″ display (166ppi), and it’s just 20 micrometer thick.

Want to know just how durable these new OLED screens are, watch this;

If you can’t see what a big deal this is, and the impact it will have in revolutionising the devices of the future, well all I can suggest is that you stick to your sundial.

Vodafone NZ’s Symphonia features 1000 cellphones syncing 53 different ringtones, alerts from 2000 sent messages to reconstruct Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture.  This is just brilliant :)

And here is how it was made, part 1, part 2.

Enjoy :)

Well, Windows 7 has launched, so no doubt they’ll be a few Windows 7 related posts from me over the next few days.  Firstly, and very surprisingly I haven’t kept up with all the hype, I haven’t tried out the new OS from the boys and girls at MS, and honestly, I’m not all that bothered.

I find that I’ve evolved past a state of caring about the “mac vs pc”, and “windows vs linux” arguements, or paying much attention to what OS I’m running or how its configured.  These days, all I want is for things to work properly, very quickly, without stalling, and with absolutely zero drama.  So yes, I’ve ditched all my PCs (and millions of screens) with XP, linux, and BSD and exclusively work on my Macbook running OSX – why?  It ticks all those boxes for me.  Don’t get me wrong, I have XP on here too, running virtualiased under Parallels – whatever gets the job done :)

Anyway, here is some fun from the boys and girls on Apple’s “get a mac” campaign – brilliant as always :)

Enjoys :)
