Are you nocturnal? You’re probably smarter
Thats the good news… the bad news is that you’re probably also depressed. 🙂
New research bound to re-ignite old debate about early versus late risers
Sleep is a fundamental component of animal biology. New evidence confirms that, in humans, its timing reflects intelligence. People with higher IQ’s (intelligence quotients) tend to be more active nocturnally, going to bed later, whereas those with lower IQ’s usually retire to bed sooner after nightfall.

Just say NO to DSLR’s – Canon S-series rocks it
The Canon S-Series rocks… its a great size and takes perfect photos… Pogue thinks so too…
Dear Canon S95,
I don’t often write love letters to gadgets. But you, you’re something special.
Truth is, I’ve been searching for someone like you for years.
See, I love the huge light sensor that’s inside an SLR. It can take sharp low-light shots without the flash. It can blur the background the way professionals do.
I just don’t like how an SLR is big and heavy and obtrusive.
What I’ve always wanted is a little camera with a big sensor. Is that so hard?
Apparently, yes. The problem is covering a rectangular sensor chip with a circle of light from the lens. Bigger sensor? You need a bigger camera. Those are the simple bylaws of physics.
But you, oh, cute little Canon PowerShot S95! I love that you’re a pocket camera, only 3.9 by 2.3 by 1.2 inches. I love your big, bright, three-inch screen, your built-in flash, your H.D.M.I. output for hi-def TV sets. I love that you turn on directly into Playback mode, without having to extend the lens.

“White Space” Wifi coming to Houston
Wow, coming to houston!
A couple dozen residents of the working-class Pecan Park neighborhood in Houston are about to do something few Americans have yet tried—access the Internet through a wireless connection that uses the empty TV-band “white spaces.” And the federal government is picking up the tab.

English language in 24 accents
Not tech related, but pretty entertaining to watch:
Me attempting to do 24 different accents from my own country and from other countries around the world. Hopefully I got most of them right but I may have made mistakes and I can do some better than others. However, I made this video for my friends because I promised them I would do an accent video. I mean no offence to anyone and please don’t be upset if I have not included your specific accent or got it wrong.
