Clearly all is not well in the far reaches of the Republic, as this epic duel in rural France will attest to. While details are barely filtering through, it appears that this small out-post and its inhabitants are forced to defend themselves from an invading menace, clearly seen to be blocking vital trade routes, most likely as part of some sort of diabolical plan which has no doubt been concucted by a corrupt member of the Senate working under the influence of a shady Dark Lord somewhere out in the galaxy.

iPad 2, iPhone 5 launch delayed?

Numerous sources are reporting that due to various reasons, one being last minute design changes, the expected release date for both the upcoming iPad and iPhone models has been pushed back. Whilst less is known about the iPad’s regeneration cycles (a new model was predicted originally for June, which has now turned into April), iPhone fans around the world now expect that come Apple’s annual World Wide Developers Conference – one of the Mecca’s of geekdom – that a shiny and brand new iPhone will be announced, sending the pilgrims into frenzy. So come June 5 – 9 of 2011, will the WWDC deliver once more or will we be left unfulfilled and impatiently awaiting the announcement of the iPhone 5?

Thief steals laptop, backs up and returns data to victim

A University Professor is considering himself extremely fortunate after a moment of laziness cost him much more than was saved by avoiding a trip up the stairs to his apartment. The unnamed Professor at a Swedish University was on his way to the laundry room but could not be bothered making the trek up to his apartment to dump his backpack which contained his laptop, and instead decided that it would be safely hidden behind the stairwell door in the meantime. Upon his return a few minutes later, the Professor found that his bag, including the computer, keys, calendar and other documents inside, was gone.

Optus to hold midnight launch of iPhone 4

Whilst we are still patiently awaiting official pricing and/or the chance to pre-order our shiny new iPhone 4, we are at least more enthused to hear that Optus will this year spare its customers from the hours waiting in line and braving the cold as were the scenes for the iPhone 3G launch.
