Think Apple/Microsoft is the world's number one brand? It's Google…
Perpetually in the top ten most powerful brands list, Google has knocked off Microsoft on at least one of them, according to the research company Millward Brown.
They’re claiming Google is worthy of being placed in their top 100 global brand power list, or ‘BrandZ’ list, due to a 30% annual increase in its value, estimated to be $86billion, (£43billion)…

YouTube Hits: Microsoft internal video shames even the Zune tattoo guy
Now, I love Microsoft probably more than the average tech-fan, and some may even call me a fangirl. But after watch the video above, I’m quite ashamed to be using a Vista laptop right now.

Wonder what the correct term is for someone who spends 10-15 hours a day…

I take back those insults aimed at Universal yesterday, Heroes season 1 & 2 Blu-ray announced
Need another reason to justify that expensive Blu-ray player? Universal, who I reported yesterday had announced this year’s Blu-ray releases, will be launching both the first and second series of Heroes on August 26th.
Last year the first season was on HD DVD which obsessives such as myself had to import from the US in order to watch, but up until now, there hadn’t been any announcement regarding the second series, or the move to Blu-ray for both of them. The August launch date will be global supposedly,…

'Geek My Car' potential new TV show, with nerdtastic CD-ROM drive for car stereo leading the way
I might just marry this automobile-owner. When faced with a broken car stereo system, what did he do? He only went and popped in a CD-ROM drive from a PC, and lined it with a green kitchen sponge, to shock-proof it. Please tell me his side skirts are made from keyboards, and headlights from blue LED power button lights!…
Universal makes HD DVD fanboys' blood boil with upcoming Blu-ray releases
Those traitors over at Universal have finally picked their dignity up off the floor and announced their first releases for the Blu-ray format, after deciding mid-February to change exclusivity from the defunct HD DVD to Blu-ray.
The first film to receive the Blu-ray treatment in July is ‘Doomsday’, followed by ‘The Incredible Hulk’, ‘Wanted’, ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’,…
