Less than 24 hours after the launch of Apple’s new toy the iPhone we know a lot more both about the product itself and it’s customers. Here’s a short roundup: People are stupid 1 As with the launch of the PS3 evil people are exploiting the stupidity of others through eBay. Sellers are offering up fresh iPhones for preposterous prices (we found this one for $5000) and hoping for... 

So the day has finally come: The long awaited iPhone is actually available to consumers (or rather to those stupid eager enough to stand in line for days to get their hands on it). Because Apple in their infinate paranoia has refused to supply anyone except a very select few with a demo model and we are in Canada where the phone won’t arrive until some time in the next century we’ll just... 

We probably all had one when we were kids – at least we did where I grew up: The Swiss Army knife. And the number of blades and accessories on your shiny red pocket knife was the truest gauge of your status. Well, that was then. This is the future and Victorinox (makers of the famous red Swiss Army Knives) are going full speed ahead into the techno era. In a box by my side lies three knives... 

While the tech world falls over itself in anticipation of the iPhone the small Norwegian browser company Opera puts out a new version of their fantastic Opera Mini browser for cell phones. The new version – Opera Mini 4 – presents the web as it looks on a computer (just like the iPhone) and is completely free (not like the iPhone) for any phone on any carrier (not like the iPhone) and... 

After decades (if not centuries) of consumerism people have finally started to open their eyes to the idea that our wasteful way of life might be damaging both the planet and ourselves. On the heels of the new Green Wave a whole range of new products are arriving to help ease the burden on our planet. One such product is the Universal Solar Charger from USB.BRANDO.COM.HK. This gadget is a battery... 

Good things come in little packages. This is especially true if your big brother is the Acura MDX and you have Honda engineers backing you. The all-new RDX brings the priceline of the SUV lineup for Acura back down to an affordable 40 thousand range. The MDX has moved more upmarket, in size, features and price. The RDX is a fine balance of performance, bad weather capabilities and environmental... 

A lot of eyebrows were raised in the web design and development community when Microsoft announced that they were diving head first into the web development market with a new program package designed to be in direct competition with Adobe’s (formerly Macromedia) Flash platform. In conjunction (though somewhat delayed) with the release of Windows Vista comes the release of Microsoft Expression –... 

I went to the gym the other day armed with a new weapon. Yes, I’ll admit it, some days getting motivated to work out is as hard as actually working out. The weapon? The new Motorola S9 Bluetooth Active Stereo Headset. A whole lot less geeky looking than other models, this new, lightweight (less than an ounce) headset is a perfect pair to your K1 KRZR, especially if you have the RED version. I... 

The European Space Agency (ESA) is looking for volunteers to go to Mars Russia for an experiment in social behaviour. Basically they want to lock a group of 6 people in a research facility for 500 days (the duration of a real Mars mission), shut them off from the outside world and see what happens to them. Kinda like those Biosphere projects they did in the -80s that spawned some godawful horror movies... 

I remember way back when Microsoft released their first ergonomic keyboard. It looked weird and my computer nerd brothers proudly proclaimed that noone with any skills would ever use these things. And then my mom bought one for her home office. Needless to say we were all sold on the concept once we got past the geek factor. Now, years later, Microsoft is releasing their Natural Ergonomic Desktop...
