Microsoft Flight: what to expect

If you’re a regular here, you may have noticed a certain passion for flight simulation in our articles. Be it in space or at flight level 390, it doesn’t matter, we just love jumping into a virtual aircraft and fly around. Until now, the best know way of doing this was through a program called Flight Simulator, which Microsoft killed a few years ago. At the time,...

How to choose your personal submersible

We’ve covered some of the coolest ways to get around, but most of these involve machines that operate on dry land. What about cool machines underwater? But let’s forget the “cool machine” part for a while and focus on what makes the underwater world so special. First, it’s beautiful. No cars, no houses, nothing else than pure nature. Well, that was...

R.I.P. Google Wave

Yesterday, Urs Hölzle, Senior Vice President of Google, released a statement acknowledging the lack of plans to keep on developing Wave, a real time collaboration tool released a little more than a year ago. Hölzle mentions a lack of “user adoption”. Wave’s dismissal is saddening because it was one of the most innovative and useful tool Google had...

The State of Apple

Love it or hate it, Apple has pretty much been the epicenter of the tech world lately. The over-hyped iPad, the leaked iPhone 4 and the “Antennagate”, all stories both entertaining, overblown, and symptomatic. Yes, success kills, but has time come already? Is Apple really doomed to become the new Microsoft? No doubt about it, the media make it seem worse that it is, but...

Tab Candy in Firefox 4: Tabs Reinvented

Firefox rose to fame as the alternative browser to still dominant Internet Explorer. It was innovative, both compared to Microsoft’s browser and to the others alternatives of the time. Mozilla rise was accompanied with a certain revolutionnary flare. Using it meant being living in a isle of resistance against the Redmond’s empire at a time where Mac OS was considered...
