Shiny Review: Buffalo MiniStation Turbo USB External Hard Drive
If you haven’t yet invested in an external hard drive, consider the MiniStation Turbo jobbie from Buffalo, which Alex has reviewed here. Does it earn your hard-earned £49.95? Read on below to find out…
There are so many compact external USB hard drives around these days, that it’s hard to differentiate between them. In some cases it’s extra value – a large capacity for a low price – and often it’s just looks, as in the case of the Pininfarina-pimped SimpleTech drives. But Buffalo’s Turbo USB claims to improve transfer speed by up to 64%. That’s compared to a 4200 RPM HDD, but it should also be substantially faster than a similar 5400 RPM HDD.
I was testing the Buffalo shortly after some other standard drives, so was able to run a pretty fair comparison and conduct something more akin to a group test. Most of these had a slightly higher capacity – usually 160GB – than the Buffalo Turbo’s 120GB. But did it really improve on performance?…
Opinion: Does Nokia move pave way for car that drives itself?
I’ve wanted a car that drives itself ever since I first watched Knightrider. What child of the 1980s didn’t grow up hoping that by the time they turned 17 a real-life version of K.I.T.T. would be on the market. Well, this weekend I turn 30 and that hope is still not a reality some 13 years later…

Moblogging puts everyone in a foul mood for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics
Our pink-laden sister in the know, Shiny Shiny, has let it slip that this is the official logo for the 2012 London Olympics. Oh. My. Goodness. I can’t decide whether it reminds me of the costume I wore to a bad ’80s party recently, or, as a commenter on Shiny Shiny stated, (which I can’t not think about when I look at the logo), Lisa Simpson performing fellatio…
DecideIT software helps you make better decisions
If you don’t have a mentor to teach you about risk management the alternative is DecideIT, the software that helps you figure out if you’re doing the rational thing. “It is based on unique algorithms that make it possible to deal with and analyze complex decision-making situations, even in cases where precise information is not available. It is often sufficient to use probabilities, utility values, and weighting in the form of comparisons or intervals, but the tool also informs the user where more resources should be used to obtain a better basis for making a decision.” [GT]

How David Beckham can prepare for a possible England recall
Beleaguered England coach Steve McLaren has hinted that David Beckham may be coming back to the squad.
McLaren’s quoted as saying he’s been “keeping an eye” on Beckham’s “form” (and with pictures like that, who hasn’t?). So how can our Dave ensure he’s in McLaren’s eyeline? By working the spotlight with an array of handy gadgets, of course.
Want to keep a closer eye on Beckham yourself? Then enter Lost Weekend’s amazing Beckham competition.
Pacemaker's Pocket DJ MP3 player perfect for twatty Nathan Barley types
If ever there was a piece of technology that couldn’t be suited more aptly to Nathan Barley, it’s this – the Pacemaker Pocket DJ MP3 player. Based on the notion that simply listening to your East-London grime on any old MP3 player in its original recording is just not good enough for ‘self-facilitating media nodes’ such as Barley, the 120-GB player features DJ mixing technology internally, where you can cross-fade, add effects plus a bunch of other spiffy pieces…
