Slingshot having problems. go cache oh.

Well Slingshot had been having problems with the new caching software, it broke youtube, it made developers life hard as updates to websites would take hours sometimes to become live.

Today Panasonic unveiled a raft of new compacts including the successor to the Lumix TZ3, one of our favourite compacts of last year.

I have a phone again, amazing! My internet has only failed 3 times today (it is of course only mid morning, but that's cool.

And in reply to the comment about how retro I am still having a phone line, think of it this way, it comes with the net and it means that relatives who are still more analogue don't have to pay me, but there's a thought, maybe the ones I don't care to hear from won't lol.

Olympus E-520 - full review and video tour

The Olympus E-520 is the successor to one of the best-selling DSLRs of last year, the popular E-510. The new E-520 takes the 10 Megapixel resolution, Live View, built-in stabilisation, and effective anti-dust features of its predecessor and adds new contrast-based AF in Live View with Face Detection, a bigger screen, quicker continuous shooting, support for wireless flash control, an extra IS mode for panning with the camera held of its side, and a new optional underwater housing. It also offers improved dynamic range and previews of many adjustments. So one of the most feature-packed DSLRs has just got better, but is it enough to compete with the latest rivals? Find out in our Olympus E-520 review and to see a demonstration of its highlights, check out our Olympus E-520 video tour. Read More

Sidekick LX

The Sidekick LX is an upgrade to the Sidekick 3, with a vastly improved screen, slimmer profile, video support, and a standard headphone jack. The flip-out screen and roomy QWERTY keyboard are the centerpieces, ensuring that kids will be hammering out messages instead of paying attention to where they're going for some time to come. Prospective iPhone buyers will be disappointed by the Sidekick LX's lack of robust 3rd-party app support and WiFi. But make no mistake: You can't beat the LX for compulsive texters and instant-messaging nuts.
