My task was to design a landscape iPhone stand at zero cost to myself using my immense design skills and my engineering prowess!?! Well maybe not quite, more like my love of building stuff out of Lego when i was a kid. So i set about looking around my flat for some suitable things to make one. After rifling though my man drawer, full of manly things, i was at a loss as to what to use. That then lead me to remember a Tecnic Lego Dirt Bike, tucked away in our storage cupboard and thought that this might be a perfect start to my little design project.

It was October 2008 – I decided it was about time I stepped away from XP as it felt like the OS was slowing down to a crawl too often. “Format C” was becoming like a marriage. I had pretty decent hardware at the time (I love gaming) and a good amount of RAM and thought that this should not happen in any modern OS. Maybe Vista can change this? Divorce please!

Imagine, if you will, an electronic world where pulses of data zip along minutely thin metal pathways on their journey between chips of all sizes. Now imagine yourself as one of these tiny pulses zooming towards a giant metal enclosure with a strange whirring sound emanating from within. Inside this enclosure you find a blur of huge metal disks spinning and giant arms furiously fluttering forwards and backwards across the vast expanse of the disks.

Microsoft released their pricing for the latest incarnation of Windows operating systems recently. The cost of an operating system at a consumer level seems to be the most expensive yet. But for some bizarre reason, pre-ordering early means we get a full copy for less, much less.

This guide demonstrates a fresh install of VMware ESXi v4.0 on a VMware Fusion v3 platform on an Apple Mac running Snow Leopard. The same principles can be applied for an install on a Physical Hardware Server such as an HP Proliant G5 or a Dell 2900PE III. Both of which are suitable hardware configurations to run ESXi.

Hopefully, if you followed our previous setup guide, you would now have a fresh install of VMware’s ESXi v4.0. Either on a VMware Fusion created VM or on a physical server of your choice depending on hardware compatibility. Now we will run through the next stage of the setup.

It seems that technology is here to stay for the long haul anyway. As mobile phones become useable computing devices that we, the consumer, just cannot live without. As our cars now rely more on their ECU’s & electronics instead of their raw mechanics and engineering. As even our children now require laptops for schools replacing the good ol’ text book with the back pages all scribbled to death with who loves who & inane doodles of boredom.

Technology is a constantly evolving creature, thats never standing still and is always being pushed beyond its limits. One such technology that has recently (within the last couple of years anyway) reached its way into the mainstream is multi-touch. This multi-touch technology requires the use of one or more fingers one a glass screen, such as a computer or phone, and acts as a direct point and click device giving control similar to that of a computer mouse or track pad. This method is very direct and incredibly flexible, especially when more than one finger is introduced. Not only that, because most of the modern touch screens only require a light touch and not a stylus, it makes them brilliant to use for any age (2 year old nieces for example).
