This is Real Art was commissioned in 2009 by the satellite operator SES- Astra to document the build of a new bird, the Astra 3B, at their factory in France and its subsequent launch. Collaborating with photographer Simon Norfolk, they've produced a stunning series of photographs, a brochure and seven documentaries that show the commerical side of space. If you want to go
Want to Facebook on Mount Everest? Maybe Foursquare at the Antarctic? Twitter from 50,000 leagues under the sea? Wherever we go, we will be able to connect and communicate. The most recent news - Mount Everest gets an Ncell tower so you have signal on your climb up. It makes sense - if you get in trouble, you can contact
Smashing Magazine just keeps coming up with great stuff. This time they've got a beginners tutorial on how to develop for Android using Eclipse, XML and Java. Starting with an introduction by way of "Why Develop for Android", it takes the user through installing the development environment Eclipse and the Android SDK, before setting up the Android Virtual Device, so that

As you may have heard recently, Limewire has been ordered to finally shut its digital doors. Yesterday, a federal judge granted the shutdown request from the RIAA after a ruling in their favor several months ago. All searches, uploads and downloads through the client were ordered to stop.

A White Buffalo is a rare thing. The Native American nation regards them highly - a sacred item. The calf comes out with blue eyes, as oppose to any other albino animal, which normally have pink eyes. So is a white iPhone the sacred device? Apple announced the other day the white version of an iPhone will not be available
The Plantronics .Audio 1100M is a simple USB VoIP telephone handset optimised for use with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 and Lync 2010, though it will also work with Skype and other softphone applications. Habitual users of these systems will recognise the benefit of having a dedicated handset rather than relying on speakers or built-in microphones. As you'll see from the photos,
Hey folks back in Hawaii for two shows only, then I will be in Albuquerque for 3 weeks on a consulting gig. Really weird doing the show without the tricaster, one thing for sure I have a whole lot less to do in the show which was kinda nice for a change. Had my outpatient work done on my arm
