Yesterday News broke that Apple is sueing HTC over a shitloads of patent infringements. This is kinda unbelievable since HTC have been in not only in the smartphone game, but the touchscreen smartphone game For a lot longer than Apple have. As have…

In it's most simplistic form, I'd say web culture Boils down to one key thing, Making Long distance communication Easy and affordable. For the price of approx 10-20 pounds sterling (over here at least) Someone could write an article, Make a game, v…

I think this is well worth the listening space and time of Mixers. Only recently got wind of this, but the bugle has been a popular podcast over at the times online for around 2 years.  It features Banter between 2 British comedians. Andy Zaltsman,…

Given the direction epicfu is going, I think it is worth bringing Oliver postgate to attention here. He was a maker of children's TV programs from the 50's to the 80's, and he sadly passed away in December 2008. He was a true pioneer in terms of fil…

The Late Oliver Postgate

Given the direction epicfu is going, I think it is worth bringing Oliver postgate to attention here. He was a maker of children's TV programs from the 50's to the 80's, and he sadly passed away in December 2008. He was a true pioneer in terms of film, animation, and storytelling.

It's Exacly the kind of show that's right up my street, I LOVE videogames, it features chiptunes as its regular soundtrack, and there are regular discussions and videocomments which usually end up in sheer geeky indulgence, And the guys behind i… Continue

If only all gadget strip-downs were like this...

Sod Boring manuals in both paper and PDF format. Think what you like about my attempt at making replacing a touchscreen fun.. but techrestore have owned this area with a capital "P", with awesome stop motion videos of unboxings and dissasemblies. Like, for example, this one of the more recent PSP Go.



I think this is great as it clearly and concisly shows how to take apart modern electro… Continue

Great show. I love Extranormal. It's so easy to make robot movies without a video camera. FYI, I'll be interviewing Zadi at 2:30 Eastern on 9/2 on http://thepulsenetwork.com for http://stevegarfield.tv The show will be archived too.

What do you do when you've been gone from forums or online communities for months/years at a time, and want to get back into the groove? Post about it? Sidle silently back into things, without acknowledging your prolonged absence? Just curious. Not…

Sorry, it seems like I'm digging this up, it's been awhile since I've been around. First, I wanted to apologize for being kinda rude earlier. I was being a little stubborn and didn't do my research either. Not to mention just being an idiot. Sorry!…
