All things to all people?

Recently I got my hands on a Samsung i900 , aka the “Omnia” (which is Latin for “all” or “everything”) and I’ll be honest, I had been coveting this device since I first set eyes on it last August. Looking Good What’s not to desire? 5MPx camera with flash,

Roadtest: Acer Aspire One

I’ve now been using this great little laptop for just over a week. Where last week I was asked “Which one did you get?” this week I’ve constantly been asked variations on the same question: “How does it perform?” “Do you like it?” “What would I do with

My new toy: Acer Aspire One

I did it! I followed my new rule for gadget buying. i.e. Divide the price of the gadget you desire by $100. Then consider the purchase for the resultant number of days. As it turns out, with the Aspire One, I considered for somewhat longer than the 5

PDC2008: Microsoft Research

I love working for Microsoft! I guess that’s self-evident considering my role, and this blog, but it’s on mornings like this that it becomes more than a trite response to people asking how I enjoy my job. I’m in LA, as in Los Angeles, at the Professional

TE08: Getting Tactile

Hear it, See it, Play with it! TechEd as a conference is so much more than it used to be . I mean there's always been the Welcome Event, the Closing Party, and the Track Sessions. Sometimes there have been inspiring Keynotes, and sometimes, well frankly

We’ll we all made it to Paris. I got in last night, and Karo arrived with most of the Australian Winners, Team SOAK this morning. Unfortunately, due to a visa mixup, Dimaz will only be arriving on Friday morning – probably a little too late, not to mention

R42 New Tech - Dell XPS1730 aka "The Beast" - Part 1 "Procuring"

For over 6 months I've been wanting to purchase a personal home computer. My home interests include video editing, and I gave my last laptop to Em (my 18 yr old) for Christmas, before she headed to Uni. So I've been computer-less. Not entirely of course,

Twitter for those who still don't get it
