Samsung Galaxy S4 Australian Review: Pipped At The Post

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is finally here, and we have been spending some time with it. We put it through its paces and pushed it right up to the limit, and as a result, we can finally emerge from our lab (read: dungeon) to tell you what it’s like. Can it beat the HTC One at its own game? (Hint: not really)


Store Your DSLR In This Camera Lens Stool So Your Most Expensive Possessions Can Hang Out

We have to get over it right up front. This stool costs about $US780, which is stupid a lot. But now that it’s out in the open we can move on and admire how cool it is, right? Riiight?

Andy Rubin, the now-departed former boss of Google’s Android division, has revealed that the OS was initially developed to power digital cameras, before the slump in snapper sales encouraged his team to turn it into a mobile phone system.


Sony Xperia Z Australian Review: The Magic Is Back At Sony

Remember when Sony could do no wrong? Back in the days of awesome CRT TVs, Discmans, Walkmans, miniDisc players and killer sound systems? The shine has been off Sony’s apple over the last few years, but ever since last year’s IFA tech fair in Germany, we’ve been seeing hints of the Sony sparkle here and there.

Nokia Lumia 820 Australian Hands-On: The Lumia 920′s Not-So Poor Cousin

The Lumia 920 is hogging the smartphone spotlight right now. Telstra — the 920′s exclusive carrier — sold out of device pre-orders and now people are scrounging to find one before launch day.

Samsung’s New Gesture-Controlled Panel Hits Australia And It’s Bloody Enormous

Seventy. Five. Inches. That’s the size of the new Series 9 LED TV just announced from Samsung. It’s promising a clearer picture thanks to some maths, and it has some decent tech to go along with it, including a built-in Kinect-style camera and new catch-up features. Mighty shiny.


Dead Heat Photo Finish Stumps Finish-Line Cameras

The US sprinters Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh are equally fast. How do we know? Well, yesterday, during the women’s 100 meter Olympics qualifier, they both finished the sprint in 11.068 seconds — and not even a camera running at 3,000 frames per second could tell their performance apart.
