Anthony's FRESH PLASTIC

Gave up on Slingbox because of the difficult set-up? I know I did!

2008-05-16T14:57:28Z

When I could get Sling Player working on my phone it was great. Unfortunately it wouldn't work with my replacement wireless router. Oh well, I thought, I'll just have to plug the wired one back in again. Still couldn't get it to work. Tried re...

Spreading the 3G love via WiFi

2008-05-16T12:11:12Z

UK mobile operator 3 are looking at spreading the HSDPA (3.5G) love all around your home with a special wireless router. I like this idea, I like this idea a lot. Right now I'm on 3's mobile broadband in an abode that doesn't have ADSL or cable....

Eee PC 901 out June 3rd, priced at £325, where?

2008-05-16T11:26:25Z

According to DigiTimes the latest Eee PC, the 901, will be coming out on the 3rd of June. It'll be priced at $650 (£325) or below - but where? I seriously doubt it'll be that price in the UK. With the added features/benefits (including Atom pro...

Stick 'em up: I don't like things jutting out to the side

2008-05-15T17:13:26Z

The picture above shows (a rather grainy) image of a 'One For All' AV sender. The SCART plug (for those of you outside of Europe, it's the part with silver pins) simply fits into the back of a TV and the rest of the device bends up until vertica...

N95 8GB doubling up as games console complete with wireless controller and big screen hookup

2008-05-14T19:38:21Z

The picture above is rubbish and wasn't planned. At the time I was trying to operate a Lumix and it was meant to be in video mode. Clearly it wasn't! I did eventually make a half decent video but it was just too damn good for Vox's upload syst...

My Eee 900 has a dead pixel! As does the Toshiba I chose for parents...

2008-05-14T09:34:03Z

No pictures at the moment, but I've got a really annoying dead pixel on my Eee PC 900. Bright white and very noticeable. Just a week earlier I chose a Toshiba satellite laptop for my parents and it too had a dead pixel, although that was right i...

Boost your mobile broadband with 'Blu-Hack'

2008-05-12T18:06:52Z

I've been using 3's Mobile Broadband extensively since Saturday. As a trialist I can use it as much as I want, it's truly unlimited! In the real world, 3 offer packages of 1GB, 3GB and 7GB (Lite, Plus and Max respectively) - unlike their handset...

Uploading a 50 meg video via mobile broadband... possibly not a good idea!

2008-05-12T15:54:21Z

Currently trying to upload a quicktime video that's a tad under 50 meg to Vox. It's taking a while, and I'm in a HSDPA area (in the garden, with me dongle high up in the air and sitting within spitting distance of the network's nearest mast)! Th...
