Shiny Video Interview: Mimi Rogers – ex-wife of Tom Cruise and poker player extrordinaire
Mimi Rogers was in town the other week promoting World Poker Tour and it’s recent launch online. She took time out to teach Susi how to play Texas Hold ‘Em, tell her about why women have the advantage over men in poker, and who was her favourite – Pacey or Dawson. Just what we always wanted to know…
The amazing PowerDic dictionary for Windows Mobile
We are quite clearly only mentioning this because of its name.

Pub Guru: What is Steampunk, and can it iron my trousers?
Pub Guru is a new weekly feature you’ll see here on the pages of Tech Digest, and will give you enough knowledge about a particularly subject so you can fake your way through a conversation with your mate down at the local boozer. And when their eyes get that glazed look after droning on for so long, you can then steal their Fruli and run off into the night, cackling like a mad Belgian with the last barrel of fruit beer.
