Gepe.com - SD Cards Protector →
You have a slim-ultra-mini-camera that you can slip in any pocket…
BUT You are scary about bringing with you a single big 8 Gig SD card, just buy a bundle of 16 x 500 Mb SD cards and buy our protector to carry them, place them in a suitcase, and also make sure you rent a bank truck or a Hummer to carry those for full protection. GEPE.COM, The right solution for you…

Browser comparison according to Microsoft. Are they just fucking kidding or what!?!
And if you don’t believe they are desperate about trying, here you go, look at this. Here are some screenshots of it for posterity.

– Andy Ihnatko for the Chicago Sun-Times: iPhone 3G S is a slick upgrade for a slick device.
The “S” in 3G S does indeed stand for Speed, which is something that this model communicated pretty damned effectively during my first few hours with the machine.
Everything feels faster. Safari on the...

Dell’s Making Money Off Twitter! →
How don’t know if the claim is true, but Dell earned $2 millions via Twitter referrals for their certified refurbs products and $1 millions from people who went from the outlet store to the Dell proper new stuff products.
A simple strategy: offering a mix of Twitter-exclusive offers, Dell Outlet deals and Outlet-specific updates and information.

iPhone 3G S In Depth: Why the 'S' means more than... →
Both the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G are powered by an ARM 11 CPU running at about 412MHz, with a 32KB L1 cache. The graphics processor is a PowerVR MBX-Lite GPU, which is a rough equivalent of the NVIDIA Riva TNT2 series of video cards. Both of these are coupled, along with 128MB of DDR memory, on a single chip that is smaller than the Intel Atom line of processors. By comparison, the...

The chase opens in 2 days, 14 hours…
I will not be so looser to spend my saterday, June 13th, evening looking to grab my username vanity URL (ie: www.facebook.com/username) at midnight, one minute, but the hunt is on for all the John Smith of this world (at least the ones who have a Facebook account).

Online Backup from Backblaze →
I already wrote about my backup strategy.
I’m currently looking if BackBlaze cannot be a better Mac OS X integrated solution for my online backup. The price is similar: $5 a month for unlimited backup per computer (iDrive is offering 150 GB for $4.95 per month, it’s not unlimited, but it’s closed). Note that both service are offering the backup of external hard drives...

I must agree with Frank, this is one of the most amazing cinematic I’ve seen for a game. Forget all the other ones done with 3D realism, this one has style.
The work has been done by Passion Pictures.
