By Geoffrey Tim
October 23, 2017 - 8 years ago

Usually, when great big corporations muddle in social issues, it can come off as cheesy at best – and tonally inappropriate and downright offensive at worst.

September 28, 2017 - 8 years ago

ow minus a lightning storm bathed in particle accelerator radiation hitting a collection of the right amount of chemicals and dousing me with a connection the Speed Force, I probably won’t be the fastest man alive…ever. Nor will I ever manage to figure out how to use Tachyon particles to replicate that speed. What I can do however, is at least look the part, while riding a motorcycle.

By Geoffrey Tim
August 21, 2017 - 8 years ago

In the end, there’s an impressive amount of tech packed into a tiny space. For its price, it stuffed with a wealth of features that you’d struggle to find in more expensive and more established wearables.

65kg down and more to go: A personal tale of weight loss

By Richard Ferreira
August 15, 2017 - 8 years ago

One of the many stigmas that gamers face is that we gamers (and geeks) spend a reasonably large part of our lives sitting in front of a screen, lying in front of a TV or just generally being quite sedentary people.
