  • Four Advancements That Bring Tablet Devices From Fantasy To Reality

    Tweet Since my early childhood I had been growing up watching sci-fi movies. In any of these movies you can always find handheld devices, in any forms and sizes, being used for many purposes. It was a glimpse of what the future could hold for us, and for decades that glimpse had been just a mere fantasy. Fast forward to the present, we are witnessing that fantasy coming true! This is what’s happening today with tablet computing.  Sure, tablet as a technology is not exactly a new thing.  It has... Read→

  • Where ‘The Hell’ Can I Find The Gmail Contact Page?

    Tweet Sometimes Google is trying to be clever but at the end it ends up more confusing and ineffecient for the users. Take for example the new Compose window, hands up who tried it and changed back to the old one? Me! But one of these things that managed to make me go around the net to find the answer and almost teared my hair out of frustration is the Contact Page in the new Gmail (not the HTML version)! I mean, where ‘the hell’ can I find the link? Have a look at your Gmail and try... Read→

  • 4GEE Is Here! But At What Price?

    Tweet If you read my previous post about the 4G/LTE network coming to the UK, you would’ve felt how excited I was about it, and so did apparently many people. You can’t blame us though, the promise of having a superfast connection via our mobile phone for an Internet junky like me is just too much to bear. This week, that day has came, 4G/LTE is finally here, courtesy of EverythingEverywhere’s 4GEE. Checkout the video of their launch party on the 2nd of November below where they... Read→

  • What is 4G/LTE? Can We Get It In The UK?

    Tweet I have to be honest with you, I had been ignoring the bruhaha that was 4G/LTE! Even when many technorati seemed to be so excited about it and discussed/debated it so often. I coudn’t care less! Why? Because we ain’t got any! Not here in the UK. So, it’s really hard to get excited when in reality we haven’t got a clue when or if we are actually going to enjoy it. That is until this week! When the iPhone 5 announced that the handset will carry 4G/LTE wizardy in its alumunium... Read→

Star Wars The Old Republic Under the Animated Mouse

Posted by Chris Prakoso On March - 28 - 2013

Tweet No true Star Wars fan can claim his title without having to play SWTOR. As much as the geek community deems it a failure, some of the believers think that EA and Bioware have a chance at turning things around. While everyone is still worried that the animated mouse will somehow elbow its way into cut scenes and we’ll see hidden Mickey’s on some of the backdrop, some players are worried that EA’s license would not be renewed since Disney has their own gaming company. Since this MMORPG... Read→

Posted by Chris Prakoso On March - 18 - 2013

Tweet So, it’s official. Not only has Disney purchased LucasFilm – and with it the rights to the Star Wars franchise – they have announced that “Star Trek” director J.J.

You Can Now Listen To Your Spotify Via Web Browser

Posted by Chris Prakoso On March - 8 - 2013

Tweet I’ve been waiting for this since I’ve heard the news recently about Spotify building a web-based player to compliment its existing Desktop and Mobile applications. The reason being that for a few months now I haven’t been able to listen to my Spotify using the Desktop application when I’m at work.  Obviously the work’s network is behind a firewall, but in the past I could still manage to provide the firewall credentials and off I went listening to my favourite... Read→
