La Vuelta 2011 Review
This year’s Vuelta was a really exciting race and definitely a great introduction to the event for me. Unfortunately I didn’t really get back into cycling in time to catch the Giro D’Italia this year but I was treated to a great Tour de France and a great Vuelta. The race was one of surprise [...]

Thoughts on Baseball Off-Season #1
I recently got bitten by the baseball bug once again after I slipped away from it in the last few years. I used to be a huge Red Sox fan and watched as many games as I could on MLB.tv as well as on TV when Channel 5 used to show live games. Now I’ve [...]

NASCAR Season Review and Look Ahead to 2012
It’s been a great year in Nascar. We’ve seen a lot of great stories unfold, new winners and emerging names throwing their hats into the ring for future sprint cup championship contention. We saw the season open with a very memorable Daytona 500. This race premièred to the masses the new style of racing at the super [...]

OS X Mountain Lion First Thoughts
I was a bit surprised today to find out that Apple had announced another new OS only 7 months after they launched Lion. As you would expect though, Mountain Lion is more of the same in terms of new additions being heavily inspired by their incredibly successful mobile operating system, iOS. Probably the most useful [...]

WWDC 2011 – Part 1: Lion
Apple did something uncharacteristic this year in the lead up to WWDC, they announced what they were going to show at the conference. We knew they would be covering Mac OS Lion, iOS5 and iCloud at the event. Normally they have kept quiet even when the cover had all but been blown on an upcoming [...]
Chromebooks are finally here, but they cost how much?
I honestly don’t understand the pricing strategy on the new Samsung based Google Chromebooks. These go for £350 and £400 and are primarily cloud computers. The £400 3G model may be worth the price if you do get the 3G service for free, although that may be a limited time offer or for the long [...]
3DS Launch Impressions
I don’t think I’ve made much of a secret of the fact that I have had reservations about the 3DS more than I have for any other Nintendo system I can remember, possibly more than any system launch from all of the manufacturers. The poor launch line-up, terrible battery life for a Nintendo handheld and [...]
Sebring 12 Hours, ILMC Look-Ahead
I was a bit surprised when I sat down to watch the highlights of the Sebring 12 Hours to find that Audi were still using their old R15 car while Peugeot had the brand new 908, complete with engine cover fin. If I were Peugeot, I may be slightly worried about the fact that Audi’s [...]
Playstation Plus Update: Online Save Backup
This was something I was hoping would happen for quite some time. I lost all of my saves when our PS3 broke just as I was transferring out data across to our new one, as we knew the original was on its last legs. A service like this would have been great for me back [...]
F1: Season Pecking Order Prediction
Now that testing has come and gone, and we’re 2 weeks away from the start of the season in Melbourne, we’re a little closer to understanding where all of the teams will be in performance. We still are essentially guessing, as a variety of factors can prevent onlookers from getting a true sense of where [...]
WRC Rally Mexico 2011
Rally Mexico this year will be remembered for two main things. The first is Citroen fighting back after their disappointing opening round in Sweden to prove that their new DS3 is just as competitive as the Ford Fiesta. Unfortunately for Citroen, despite their overall strong showing in terms of speed, the other thing this rally [...]
iPad 2
Before getting into my impressions after watching the Apple event, I just want to mention that it was great to see Steve back already for this event. I was sure we would be seeing Phil Schiller take over for the next couple of announcements. It’s not that he does a bad job, but no one [...]
Nascar the game 2011 will go Unreleased in UK
Eutechnyx looking into region-free release of NASCAR 2011 in the UK Thanks activision…. Good thing I was just able to snag a cheap copy of EA’s last attempt at the license, NASCAR 09 to quench my thirst for the sport for the time being. The game is actually not bad, especially considering what I paid for [...]
Williams FW33 Final 2011 Livery
Williams finally showed off their car in its final form today with the definite colour scheme it will sport for the 2011 season. Upon first glance, it isn’t a whole lot different from the last several years, but for several new details which harken back to the 1990s when the team was sponsored by Rothmans. [...]
