Do you want to be invited to Google Wave? I have 20 Google Wave invitations to spare at the moment.

Just to let you know that today, I received a review unit of the next generation fan, the bladeless fan, a.k.a the Air Multiplier from Dyson. The Dyson’s Air Multiplier is a new innovation and already available on electronic stores near you (you might even already stumble into one). It’ll be cool to see the real comparison between this and the conventional fan that I use every summer. Actually, this is the perfect timing to test Dyson’s Air Multiplier as summer is approachi...

On November 14th, Craving Tech had around 10,000 visitors coming from all over the place such as Neowin.net, Lifehacker.com, CNET.com, TomsHardware.com, and TheRegister.co.uk.

I knew the post was going to be a hit because the screenshots and short impressions of the Office 2010 official beta weren’t available anywhere on the net yet. Knowing about the going-to-be-a-very-pop... Read Full Story

Machinarium brings a new fresh perspective of puzzle-based games in the current market. Lots of puzzle-based adventure games nowadays focus more on the voice dialogues (to make the story more convincing), 3D jaw-dropping graphics that makes you go “Oooohh”, and challenging puzzles to keep you on your toes. Machinarium has no voice dialogues and the game was developed in Flash so you won’t see those gorgeous 3D scenery graphics rendered by a 3D engine. However, Machinarium s... Read Full Story
