Are you a budding DJ? I remember taking every opportunity I had, regardless of what hardware or even music I had around me, to create “proper” mix tapes and voiceovers. I’ve even DJed a few private parties, though I’m certainly no Armin Van Buuren.
I just love having the ability to mix together music and play [...]

How do you obtain legal software? Do you go out to a local computer store and buy off the shelf, order it from an online retailer, direct from the vendor, or do you download it?
According to a recent study (for Microsoft, no less) downloaded software is eight times more carbon efficient than its boxed equivalent.
Some [...]

Can you believe it? It’s been five years since this awesome Internet browser was first launched! I still remember using it for the first time – a couple of months after it was released – and vowing to myself that I would never use Internet Explorer again. Yes, that vow has been [...]

For anyone wanting to know what best practise for using Comic Sans in documents is, the following flowchart should really help. Also works for PowerPoint presentations, billboard advertising — anything, really.

It would have been more effective had the flowchart been constructed with a Comic Sans font, of course. Preferably in bold. ;)

Sorry for getting your hopes so high. I invented the title because I’m not really sure whether Burger King Japan is actually offering Windows 7 as part of a value meal package. But  what I know and perhaps you do to by now is the fact that Burger King has released (tech lingo when new [...]

Words on the streets say that Windows 7 is now the biggest pre-order product of all time beating Harry Potter. But that’s for the Amazon UK Store only.  Not only is Windows 7 the biggest pre-order product of all time but it has also sold more copies during the 8 hours of its release in [...]

Twitter’s popularity as THE microblogging platform of choice for millions of people all over the world is well deserved. The popular service enjoys the support of high profile personalities, which absolutely helps its reputation and street cred. I opened my Twitter account almost a year ago when I kept hearing about it from my friends. [...]

Here’s a really interesting idea for those irritating (but reasonably necessary) password forms you have to fill in.

Assuming you haven’t got all your passwords stored in some kind of manager, when you do have to type in a pesky passphrase, how do you know you’ve got it right?

Here’s a great little Flash tool, particularly if you have a fairly distinct name, that will show you interesting tidbits and build a line of categories that you fit in to — according to the Internet.
Putting in “John Smith” might not get you a very personalized result, but it’s quite interesting to see what comes [...]

There’s an interesting set of diagrams and discussion over at the Mozilla Wiki about adding multitouch and gesturing to Firefox.

It doesn’t mention what this is in response to — Apple MacBook multitouch trackpad, perhaps, or the increasing number of mobile devices with touchscreens — but of course it is dependent on associated hardware to work [...]

In memory of (the nearly dead) Internet Explorer 6 comes this nifty little piece of JavaScript that will wreak havoc with your web page, turning it into a pile of unreadable junk that even Steve Ballmer would be proud of.

The IE6IFY site proudly proclaims: “After years of observation and reverse engineering I am proud to [...]

I sometimes wonder what processes font designers go through to develop a new font. I bet not many do it this way:
Teaming up with Toyota Belgium, two typographers used the Toyota iQ car to drive out each letter, digit and piece of punctuation.

Attaching four colored dots to the roof of the car, these were tracked [...]

Ahh, how much time we used to still spend arguing over which is better: Windows, Mac OS X or Linux.
Seems that the following graph, though not comprehensive, arrives at one stark conclusion: your choice of operating system is irrelevant when it comes to…
…watching porn:

Here’s a pretty cool app for anyone designing pixel art while on the move.
The title gives a clue: this is a 32×32 pixel editor with a pretty intuitive interface that lets you map out thoughts in grayscale pretty quickly.

The idea is that you sketch out ideas on the move, then sync up and use more [...]

We’ve seen the origami desk lamp and Starcraft origami, now here’s something for your computer desktop.
Here we have origami-styled logos for Firefox, Twitter, Apple, Digg, Basecamp, Flickr, GMail, IE (broken, love it), iTunes, Mint, RSS, Opera and Skype, designed by Paddy Donnelly.
They can be downloaded in a variety of formats. Jump on to see them [...]

If you thought we had had it with the useless iPhone apps, you are wrong. Apple long has promoted ‘There’s an app for that’ and the fun site App for That can someone bring the occasionall laugh, but sometimes things just go to far.
We all know the Lightsaber now, the Cylon Detector and the different [...]
