10 Hand Drawn Gadgets on Guidesk that I’m Proud of

It’s been a wild month, I discovered I’ve got next to no talent in drawing things by hand, and that I’ve got an extreme tolerance to monotony. I’ve drawn a few pictures in the past thirty-some days that I’m proud of, and I’d like to present you with an unordered list of what I think to be a selection of my best. Feel free to enjoy, share, comment or just…

I’m just as much a freebie surfer as the next guy, but this little app made me fork the $0.99 out like nothing else. Let’s see what it is that turns your iPad into a radio receiver. It’s nothing else than the app that’s able to pick up any of an alleged 40,000 radio stations: TuneIn Radio. As you might have noticed, your iPad does not come with an AM/FM…

Let’s put the differences with ChromeOS aside for a litte, and concentrate on the hardware, which is important enough to be looked at. At least that’s what I had in plans for today — giving the Samsung Chromebook the time and attention it deserves. Tech Specs Samsung’s stab at Chrome OS based netbooks will be powered by an Intel Atom N570, Dual Core 1.66 GHz CPU. I wouldn’t expect much…

Until I’ve got the change to put my hands on a working, commercially available Chromebook, I can’t possibly offer you anything else but an opinion on the chrome based netbook from Kogan that beat Acer and Samsung to it by a week and a…

This friday I’d like to present you with the concept netbook I drafted. It’s a netbook that converts to a tablet (that is not touch-enabled) and is powered by an Android phone.

iPad Thursday – iPod the Way Music Was Meant to be Enjoyed

Alright, I give in right before starting out; music was meant to be enjoyed amongst friends, sitting around a campfire with an acoustic guitar, singing. Music is personal and interpersonal and should be enjoyed with others. Let’s just assume for a second that you’re a bit further away from finding the time and a suitable campfire on a daily basis to do that. Let’s assume you listen to music at…

Dell has announced and started shipping its new MacBook Pro killer laptop. At least that’s what they intend it to be. Having spent about a day’s work trying to draw this laptop I noticed a few things I’m not sure I like. With an actual Pro next to me, I’ve got some good reasons to believe Dell has shot for Apple’s image and missed. First of all, the design. You’ve…

This Friday we’re going to establish a definition of the best netbook, simply because there are dozens of different types and it isn’t an easy task to pick the one that represents netbooks the best. The following (hand drawn, gets bigger on click) illustration shows what the best netbook is like. A little explanation to each point to let you see their importance, and how they contribute to a netbook…
