On the weekend, the missus and I were on the Gold Coast briefly and required a rental car to get us around. We ended up with a Toyota Camry (sadly not the hybrid model) which isn’t a bad car. Whilst not difficult to drive, I did find myself falling into the regular habits of driving …

Senator Scott Ludlam, communications spokesman for the Greens, today labelled the net filter as a “toxic subject” which would be swept under the carpet until the federal election.

Yesterday, I looked at how people may be using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) without knowing it as well as how it might help make your consumption of digital information more efficient. Despite its name, people may think that RSS could be rather complicated but with a little time and understanding I reckon most people could figure it out …

For those of you who don’t know, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and a lot of you would be using it, perhaps unknowingly. How so? RSS is a major part of how iTunes works particularly when checking for new podcasts and the update features contained within other pieces of software use RSS to check …

Just a short one today. Have you had a lot of gadgets in your life and perhaps trouble keeping track of what has come and gone from your possession? Perhaps you like to keep up to date with the latest gadget news and reviews or perhaps you just need a helping hand when it all …
