Normally I would not post anything remotely related to boats on this blog, but the moment I saw this bad boy, I knew I just had to share it with you guys (and girls :-) ), it does after all make use of the latest technology known to man...when it comes to boats that is. And even though it is just a a concept and still a long way from actual production, it is an indicator of where the boating world is headed, frankly, I must say that I am dully...

It’s been in the works for a while but the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft was by no means a surprise to anyone and was. And Microsoft isn’t wasting any time with publicly showing the change.
Images from Harri Kiljander (Director of F-Secure Lokki) show what appears to be Nokia House in Finland with a crane truck up front, preparing to take down Nokia’s logo and another photo showing the S and F from Microsoft’s logo, reportedly...

Windows Phone is yet to become the game changer Microsoft wants it to be. It didn't quite experience the kind of explosive growth that could've put Nokia back in pole position, but it has been steadily climbing up the ranks. Maybe an upgrade of the scale of its 8.1 version is all it needed to go into overdrive and really challenge the big two in the smartphone game.
While some analysts are predicting huge gains in the next few years, others are...

Heart problems anyone?
23:51
No comments
With its latest flagship, the Galaxy S5, Samsung decided to ramp up the health tracker angle, so much so that they included a heart rate sensor – the first of its kind on a mainstream smartphone.
In certain countries this qualifies it to be considered as a medical device, and Samsung’s home country of Korea is among them. Seoul’s medical ministry recently evaluated whether the Galaxy S5 qualifies as a medical device, and although it has...

Microsoft will be giving game developers a closer look at the next version of its graphics API set on March 20 at Game Developer Conference or GDC. Microsoft didn’t reveal much about it right now and all we know for sure is that AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and Qualcomm are onboard with it right now.
But while Microsoft did not reveal much on its website, the GDC schedule for the DirectX event does give a good hint at what we can expect. According to the...

Koenigsegg is celebrating its 20th birthday this year, and for the occasion, the Swedish specialists are taking the hypercar to the next level with its new Agera One:1 at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. In fact, it claims that, because it is the first production car with a one megawatt of power (1,341 horsepower), and a power-to-weight ratio of one-to-one (kilogram to horsepower), it goes beyond super or hyper and is actually the "world's...

We call them mobile phone because they are,well, mobile, but when they first came out, they were big and clunky and yes still mobile because you could carry them around but they were hardly portable. they were the size of bricks and weighed a lot, they were like Thor’s hammer, only a select few could actually manage to carry them around. Over the years, mobile devices have evolved so much that they look entirely different from when they first...

Finally the call on the WhatsApp logo makes sense.
WhatsApp is adding voice calling to its popular instant messaging app, with iOS and Android the first two OSes to get the new features.
At WhatsApp's MWC press conference, CEO Jan Koum said that some BlackBerry and Nokia phones will be next in line for the voice messaging update, although the company didn't give any idea of exactly when we can expect it to land beyond "Q2" - that's April...

This week's launch of Nokia's new X handsets has generated more headlines than you'd expect for a family of fairly low-end devices.
That's because the Windows Phone-supporting, soon-to-be-part-of-Microsoft phone firm has embraced Android. Here's what you need to know: tech first, and then what it means for Nokia, Windows Phone and Microsoft.
Which Nokia phones are running Android?
So far we've seen three. The four-inch Nokia X...

The name Bugatti is synonymous with mind boggling speeds, speeds incomprehensible by the mere mortal's mind,it is with caution that i urge you to watch this video, as dementia can follow soon after due to your minds incapability to comprehend the speeds being achieved in the video, it's absolute madness!

When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S5, the world sat up and took notice, simply because it's one of the most anticipated phones for 2014.
But how did the South Korean giant become so influential in the mobile phone market? Lest we forget, it was a no-hoper just a few years ago, spraying out demi-smartphones that were met with shrugs and derision in equal measure.
Then Android emerged, Samsung decided that enough was enough, and it decided to...

In the beginning, when most of the internet was still rolling green fields, there was no need for antivirus software. Early web users could swap files with anyone without risk of infection - and they did, en masse, on messageboards and servers across the early web. Those were carefree days.
But in the early 80s, just like in the real world, everything changed. A program called 'Elk Cloner' was the first computer virus to appear in the wild....
