Last night's episode of Stargate Atlantis was the eighth in the final season, and saw a whole new role for Rachel Luttrell.

I bought this router to replace my faithful old Netgear DG834G that our ADSL ISP suspected was contributing to some ridiculous loss of sync issues. It was direct off-the-shelf and I hadn't read any reviews, but knowing to stay away from Linksys and being careful not to go with the same brand that might have [...]

I got a sneak peak tonight at the upcoming re-make of Robert Wise's film adaptation of "The Andromeda Strain" by Michael Crichton. This new adaptation is brought to us in mini-series form as has become popular with producers lately and is well worth a look when it gets a full release in the UK. It's already aired in Australia and will be on US TV later this month.

I've been following with great interest a series of articles centred around what has become one of the most ubiquitous features of modern OS design: the shutdown dialog.

I've been a loyal fan of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica since the 2003 miniseries, and it just goes from strength to strength. After a very "different" few episodes centred around a planetary settlement and subsequent enemy occupation (which sent the show's focus plummeting down from space), the stories following the inevitable "escape" have been incredibly [...]

I enjoyed this episode and agree that it was a good end to the show. If anything, though, I felt a little cheated that the TNG characters had 'stolen' the last episode of a four year saga from us — I think I'd have felt more comfortable if B&B had let our heroes finish the [...]

Having just upgraded MSN 7 Beta to v7.0.0777 I have to say, whilst some annoyances from the previous version have been 'fixed' — eg. the 'Allow contacts to nudge me' option, which conversely, when disabled, actually displayed incoming nudges anyway but blocked all *outgoing* nudges entirely — I've been disappointed by several things. Firstly, the [...]
