This week we were only able to provide you with the sweet sounds of Macbook microphone recordings and that is all. Nevertheless it comes filled to the gills with sweet sweet tech news. Of both the iPhone sort and the any other possible sort of news kind of news. Such as Creative’s new Zen X-Fi. Which looks to be quite a competitor to the Colossus that is the iPod. We’re in awe at hard drives with awesome capacities and last but certainly not the least, Google has decided that it’ll get into that whole “second life” thingy with Lively!

With honor and valor (blehh)
The Recruit, The Driver, The Desk Jockey

Some people live forever, immortalised by the greatness they have inspired or the people they’ve destroyed. Bill Gates is a man who arguably has done both in the tech industry. We drool and gush over HP’s newest and sexehest PC, the HP Touchsmart. You can now rest assured that someone is working to ensure that those who want to apply Creative Commons to their work will soon be able to do so. Nasi Lemak style! We love Microsoft’s extended love for XP, and Nokia’s arms wide open embrace of Open Sauce. Mmm Teriyaki.

Loving Each Day,
The Jedi, The Airplane and the Pokémon

The future is here and its an open secret. Apple has unveiled the way it plans to make all applications online, and we don’t even know about it. Sproutcore’s its name, and we can wait to see what it does. Youtube launched a thing specially for its Partners, we talk about all the iPhone wannabes and killers and wonder if they do or do not actually match up, and question the future of graphics cards/processors/kitchen sinks. Lastly, Singapore Airlines makes a very BLOCKY impression on us.

Tupolev, Iluyushin, Fokker

This week we discover the joys of having an ethernet switchbox bring gigabit ethernet right to your room, instead of creating tons of hazards by running wires all over the house.

Ok no, this is “WTF is Wrong with the Net” week. On our very own island, VueStar claims the most ridiculous patent yet, and on the other side of the world, automated crusaders cause trouble for everyone’s favorite vidcast production house with a positive DDoS and then deny it. Some deeper discussion about how Nokia is considering using Linux as a cellphone platform, followed by a distinctly more comprehensible rant on “the new MP3 standard” my fat Farinelli a*se. Joy o joy at news of Dell’s foray into the netbook scene with the Mini-Inspiron, before going into our byte of the week, the dropbox-like Windows Live Skydrive.
