All things considered, the pioneer behind the modern computer has been relatively quiet in the area of new developments. Microsoft sat idly by while Apple took over the portable music player market by storm with the iPod.

A five seat compact from Honda is making a strong bid for your hybrid dollars and thanks to an innovative new design it’ll take fewer of those dollars to get you behind the wheel. The comparatively smaller price tag attached to the new Honda Insight is due, in no small part, to the automakers proprietary Integrated Motor Assist technology, which not only simplifies the design but reduces costs. Add to that a more efficient engine (the heat engine’s cylinders are designed to disengage when the vehicle is at a constant speed on a level surface). But the ultimate question in ...

Years of hype. Countless rumours. Dozens of mock-ups. Yes, the rumoured Apple tablet has garnered quite a lot of attention for a product that may or may not even exist.

It’s been a long and winding road to harmonize the wide world of the web with computers. Sure Microsoft was making browsers back in the early nineties, already rubbing shoulders with rivals. But with the proliferation of laptops and netbooks, the web has become, in many ways, the central modus operandi of the operating system. So it’s little wonder that Google, a company some may consider to be the Microsoft of the 21st century, is releasing an entire OS based around web integration.
