I have a Holux GR-213 for sale. It’s brand new and unused, the only reason I’m selling it is because I bought it to use with Tomtom, but my PDA isn’t compatible with cabled GPSs, only Bluetooth. I’m just looking to break even really, so it’s half the price that Holux sell at.

I've finished my review of the Inpsiron 9400, it's under the reviews section. If you have any comments, please leave them in the forums.

Review: Dell Inspiron 9400

Doesn't quite have the same effect as the real thing, but still cool to watch

16th March 2006: It looks like this is actually part of an advert for The Simpsons on Sky One.

First there was mechanical Pong, now this. The game works by averaging the mouse locations of all the players on the team, so they have to work together to hit the ball.

BT Wholesale in conjunction with the service providers has been testing an up to 8Mbps ADSL service for what seems forever. Today sees BT Wholesale announce the product.

From 31st March 2006 the product will go live on a national basis. The service should be available on around 5300 exchanges, which will cover around 99.6% of homes and businesses in the UK. The key component to the Max services is that they are rate adaptive (i.e. will run at the highest speed they can) in both the downstream and upstream directions, which should see the vast majority of lines running a lot faster than under the existing planning rules used by BT Wholesale.

The potential line speeds are 160kbps to 8192kbps downstream, with upstream from 160kbps to 448kbps on Max, and 832kbps on Max Premium. 78% of BT lines are expected to manage 4Mbps or faster, 6Mbps to around 42%. It should be pointed out that even if you get the full 8192kbps, this is actually 3.6 times faster than an existing 2Mbps line. This is because a 2Mbps line runs at 2272kbps so that with the network overheads people will see close to 2Mbps under ideal conditions, so an 8192kbps line speed will provide around 7.1 to 7.3Mbps of potential data speed.

First it was 512k, then 1Mbps, now 2Mbps, and soon to be 4Mbps or more.

A project of Niklas Roy, a german artist who works with electronic components instead of paint, Pongmechanik is a version of pong whcih uses motors and relays instead of a screen. There's a video with subtitles in english, which I recommend you watch.

It's hard to imagine using a higher resolution display than my notebook's 1920×1200 WUXGA screen, but there are Q-WUXGA 3840×2400 displays available. Images and text are so sharp on my TFT, that I couldn't imagine using a resolution that high on a panel less than 60″. It's four times the resolution of HDTV!

A blatant Digg clone, Yigg.de reports tech news in german. It uses exactly the same layout as Digg, but apparently there has never been any form of communication between it's owner's and Digg.com. The biggest difference seems to be the lack of interesting story, the top story at the minute being that Pluto has two more moons!
