30 Days with
iPod Touch 8GB
Everything pod deserves a review, preferably one written after having spent 30 days with it. This month’s reviewer tries to see whether there’s more to the Touch than the touchscreen
Insight
Settling Differences
Any two semi-techies can get into a verbal deathmatch about whether Windows or Linux is better, though most agree that the latter is more secure. So, well, which is better, and if Linux is more secure, why?
Droolmaal
Would you believe there exists a quad-Xbox360 system, complete with fans to blow the wind in your face as you race? This and other more-than-attractive gadgetry—including a pair of headphones touted as the world’s best!

Tech Careers
Mapping A Future
Spatial image processing and analysis, Photogrammetry, GPS technologies, and more—the stuff a mapping career is made of, that is, everything to do with positioning, location, and such

Digital Leisure
Touched By Tech
No Holds Barred
Here’s a sort of round-up of what’s happening in the world of the blind or near-blind. People are doing things to help them, with the help of technology; and they are using technology to help themselves
Tabloid Tech
Five months ago, we said Pamela Anderson loves her Wii; then just a couple of months ago, we reported the same about Jessica Alba. And now, it turns out Queen Elizabeth II loves her Wii, too—only it isn’t hers
