| Hot Gadgets – March 2013 (Part 2) |
| You needn’t be an art lover to appreciate what Samsung has pulled off here. Sure. It looks like it’s an abandoned wallflower waiting for an art collector to offer it pride of place. But it looks hapless only in pictures. Up close and personal, it truly is a sight to behold and we mean even when it’s not scorching your retinas with Ultra HD pictures. |

| Hot Gadgets – March 2013 (Part 1) |
| A 7in tablet by Acer, powered by a dual-core processor and Android’s Jelly Bean, for 8k? Sounds like a nasty trick, the same kind you play on your dog when you pretend to throw the stick and he runs excitedly into the distance to find nothing, coming scampering back with the most confused eyes. |

| Giada Mini PC D2305 - A Change Of Shape |
| A quick look at Giada’s Mini PC portfolio will show that several models of the series share the same appearance. Following the common design of a net top, Giada’s Mini PCs such as the i51, i35G, and the Q11 sport the shape and size of a hardbound book. Deviating from this look, Giada’s latest attraction, the D2305, highlights a different design. |

| Rise Of The Thingthernet (Part 2) |
| Here’s an ideal, and realistic, scenario for your daily routine. Your calendar syncs with your alarm clock, telling it when you have to be at work.

|
| Rise Of The Thingthernet (Part 1) |
| On any given day the internet will deliver around 300 billion emails, help YouTubers upload the equivalent of 35,000 films, and support the digital lives of 2.27 billion people. The internet is a rather busy place. But busy as it is, we’re still at the very beginning of the internet’s big bang. How so? Because all of these examples, at some stage, involve people – people typing messages, people uploading videos, people stalking fellow humans on social networks. |

| The Ideal OS (Part 2) |
| Another feature we’d like is an OS that doesn’t require any maintenance on part of the user, and one that shuts down and boots up instantly. Current OSes can take several minutes to boot up completely, as they require the loading of several daemons, processes or services to manage the various aspects of the system. |
|
| The Ideal OS (Part 1) |
| The last couple of years have seen some massively disruptive changes in computing, with several new technologies successfully challenging existing ones. This was particularly noticeable in the mobile world, where the shift towards computing on smartphones brought with it the need for specialized mobile platforms. |
