Hot-Off-The-Press iPhone 5 Shown Off In New Video
Another day and yet another video showing off the new iPhone. But stay with us, because this might just be the most authentic-looking one yet, seeming to confirm everything we've heard about Apple's latest in one fell swoop. A taller screen? Check. A smaller dock connector, deeper 'home' button? You bet. And much slimmer, still, than the iPhone 4S.

Torrenters Beware, You're Likely Being Tracked
There aren't many people in such Internet-savvy times who would plead ignorance to ever using a BitTorrent client to download pirated music, video or programs.

Samsung Galaxy Camera. A Pointless Product
So Samsung have introduced a slew of new products at their Unpacked conference at IFA 2012. My main focus lies upon one specific product: the Galaxy Camera. I said this when the initial Galaxy Note was released, and it seems that the lesson wasn't learned. So putting it bluntly: converge products too much and they become pointless, like trying to put a phone into a camera, rather than a camera into a phone.

Goophone i5: The iPhone 5 Is Already Being Cloned In China
It's fair to say that we've seen a fair few mobile devices from China that far surpass the idea of shameless copying beyond anything that Samsung has ever infringed upon.

[Infographic] The Internet, A Decade Later
The Internet has come a heck of a long way in the short 10 years since 2002. Ultra-fast broadband has taken the place of the blips and bleeps of 56Kb dial-up systems; flashy ads, high-resolution pictures and interactive banners have replaced basic HTML coding; while the introduction of ‘Web 2.0’ has changed the way in which we interact with the World Wide Web forever.
Instacube: The Live Instagram Digital Photo Frame

Google Nexus 7 Review
Let's be honest, Android tablets have been a sort of sketchy affair. A mish-mash of hardware form factors and disappointing user experiences. But that is about to change.
"7-inch tablets are going to be dead on arrival," the late Steve Jobs proclaimed in October 2010. Google, myself and probably lots of others would beg to differ with the Nexus 7.
The next in the line of products that present the metaphorical middle finger to OEMs and their depreciation of the stock Android experience through needless clutter and skinning, the Nexus 7 redefines your pre-conceptions of what makes a budget tablet. This software and hardware love affair between Google and Asus has produced something with the real potential to kickstart the campaign for Android tablets as a whole.
