Laptop specialist Rock grudgingly offers Blu-ray support
Hardcore power-laptop maker Rock has decided to dump its HD DVD-exclusive stance and let buyers stick Blu-ray drives in its range of gaming laptop beasts should they so desire.
Rock’s CEO Nick Boardman said “We’re disappointed that HD-DVD didn’t make it and we value the support Toshiba has given us. Although Blu-ray has technical advantages…
Mind that vacuum cleaner, it's Tuesday housekeeping here at Tech Digest
Just a spot of housekeeping here on Tech Digest today, with a few new changes to our staff roll-call.
Firstly, our Editor In Chief, Stuart Dredge, has moved over to the green pastures of Pocket Gamer, a site dedicated to keeping you informed about mobile gaming. It appears the mobile gaming industry isn’t scared of him just yet, after he recently accused them of being sexist at the GDC!
I’ll be taking over the site as Editor, after close to a year of pouring Stu endless cups of coffee and picking up his drycleaning being Deputy Editor. You can reach me at [email protected].
The hugely-knowledgeable Dave Walker is still contributing to the site, in fact, as our new Contributing Editor. You can reach him here if you fancy swinging some compliments his way.

VIDEO: What's best? Working from home? Or working in the office?
Thanks to working for the very forward-thinking and modernist Shiny Media, I’m often afforded the luxury of being able to work from home.
But is it all it’s cracked up to be? Is the relaxed nature of home working beneficial, or do you end up slacking off more? Does the stricter office environment force you to work harder, or does the diversion of other people actually slow you down? What’s best? Home? Or office?
Let’s find out via a video comparison!
'Breast massaging robot' takes cyber-love to the next level
No doubt there’s some sort of serious scientific/medical use for this that’s of global importance. It will no doubt save millions of lives, somehow, in the near future.
But there’s also a good chance it’ll just end up letting you virtually grope women in Second Life.
Porsche raging against London Congestion Charge – sets up web site to FIGHT THE POWER
No doubt with half a mind on the masses of Porsche Cayennes currently cruising between Starbucks and Wagamamas over in fashionable West London, Porsche has called for an official judicial review of recently announce changes to London’s Congestion Charge.
“Gas guzzling” cars – like, say, the ludicrous Porsche cayenne, which is the stupidest car to ever drive within 50 miles of London – will be hit by a new £25 charge from this October, a tax intensified by London Mayor Ken Livingstone’s removal of the exemption for people who live inside the C-Charge zone…
Robot dogs just as good as the real things in reducing the emptiness and loneliness of modern life
Researchers at Saint Louis University gave one group of old people in nursing homes a proper biological dog made out of bones and meat, then tried a robotic AIBO out to see how the old folks reacted to the two.
They were both, incredibly, received very similarly, with the oldie subjects bonding pretty much equally with the robotic and real doggies…
