No tethering iPhones to iPads

I previously pondered on this site on one of Mikey's articles if the iPad would be allowed to be tethered (see bottom of article for explanation of tethering, if you don't know what this is) to the iPhone. After all, each one requires an internet connection and it doesn't make sense to require two m...

My Everest Conquered

Fear is a strange thing that many people often experience in illogical patterns. Take me for instance. I have no qualms taking the controls to freefly a small aircraft, which given I had no experience doing before could have had catastrophic consequences. Although there was a professional sitting ri...

In a brazen attack, 4 individuals robbed a European Poker Tournament in Berlin. The robbers managed to get away with some or all of the total 1 millions euro prize pool. Interestingly, the live cameras caught some of the action: The police and PokerStars (the tournament organisers) are ask...

Though games like Mass Effect 2 have been getting wide and respected coverage (rightfully so) I po...

First Crysis II screenshots released

Anyone familiar with the first Crysis will undoubtedly know just how sublime it looked (my original review here). That is assuming of course that you had one of the hypothetical computers powerful enough to run it that hadn't been invented yet. No game has been able to match it in terms of graphics ...

Religious Faith and Belief: explained (pwned)

As a well known, or at least well established, atheist/anti-theist, I am often dragged into debate over the things that can’t be explained. Religious people often tell me that they believe not because they ‘have to’ in order to avoid Hell and get into Heaven, but because they ha...

I'd rather be a Christian

As one of the tens of thousands of atheists travelling to Melbourne next week for the Global Atheist Convention, I’ve been having a good think about the privileges Christians simply take for granted which non-theists are unable to access. If you’re unaware of the controversy, I’...

Condoms for 12 year olds

A Swiss company has released a new range of small size condoms, to suit people as young as 12. The condoms, called "Hotshot" condoms (and are the same length as regular condoms but with a smaller diameter) have been released in response to studies which show children at this age are now...
