Archos 70 tablet unboxing

I needed a tablet. One that isn’t bad at what it does but also does not cost something like the Xoom or Galaxy Tab 10. I found the Archos 7o Internet tablet. A VERY NICE device, the thinnest around, for just 229 Euro. Most notable features: – 1 GHz chip – Multitouch display – 720p …

Portal to happiness

This next test may involve side effects of euphoria, depression, happiness, sadness, weakness of the knees and uncontrollable blushing – but the most important thing is to have fun with it! This marriage proposal has just come to my attention, and all I have to say is: knock it off. If you two lovebirds want …

Primarily for the reason that I feel like I’m operating a super-sized iPad with a keyboard attached, and making a clusterfuck within a clusterfuck. (-> Mission Control). Since I purchased it …

So I just upgraded to OS X Lion

Launch Pad

After a bit of waiting for the initial rush of App Store rushes to be over, today I finally got around to have a look at Apple’s latest and greatest. It’s only EUR 24.99, so I thought I cannot do much wrong with that (considering that the Snow Leopard upgrade was already 29 Euro). Well, …
