I’ve recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my NetBook, up until this point I had Ubuntu running on a much older Windows laptop and then I installed Ubuntu on a virtual drive via Oracles VitualBox on my new Windows 7 Lenovo laptop. The only problem with the virtual drive was Ubuntu ran quite slow and to be honest I really wanted to install Ubuntu on its own separate partition. The reason I didn’t do that on the Lenovo was purely due...

A group of young developers with a plethora of experience in game design, have splintered from their previous companies; gathered together and formed Elastic Games.

The game has been in design for the past six months and only now have the developers come forward with an official announcement. Elastic Games have now...

We are fast approaching the summer, time for the lucky ones amongst us to go on holiday or vacation, depending on your geographic location. Now of course the most stressful part of going on holiday is all the packing, which I got to admit, in my house, this is completely left down to my wife. If it was left down to me goodness knows what we would all be dressed like going out. However one bit of the packing that is left down to me is...

Over the last week or so the tech media and community have been hot on the topic of the Flashback Trojan Horse which has reportedly infected just over half a million Macs. The flashback malware uses the Mac Java version to exploit a system. The way it works is, once on your system it could install without a password should the user visit a malicious website. This was first brought to our attention by the Russians, The Cold War is Over guys,...

I’ve been involved in the tech scene for about ten years now, however I’ve only been actively posting videos on YouTube for about  four years and posting articles on web sites for about a year and a half. Techmedia Fusion on the other hand has only been live since January  2012. During my time online, one thing that has become very clear to me is that the US is technically better than the UK. I have my own personal thoughts on...

For those of you who are not aware, when I was medically retired from the British Army, I retrained in IT and became qualified as an MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer). However after about 5 years of using Windows I bought my first Mac, an iBook G3 and from that point on fell in love with the ease of Mac and basically dropped Windows. Lately though, I know I have fallen too far behind in the Windows seen and I needed to do something...

Angry Birds, first developed for  Apples iOS platform in 2009 and now on many different platforms across the gaming spectrum, has gone from strength to strength. The manufacture of the game, Rovio, is a fine example of excellent success in the App market. The basic structure surrounding the game is a slingshot action of flightless birds in order to knock off pigs and other obstacles in the way. New to Rovio’s fine selection of Angry...

From the first laptop computers, or mobile computers as they where first referred to, manufactures have been trying to squeeze as much power into as small a case as possible, however none refined this skill quite as well as Apple did when they introduced the beautifully stylish MacBook Air. From the MacBook Air on wards however, so many laptop companies have step up their game and in particular Asus with the Asus Zenbook UX21E The...

In my humble opinion I have noticed over the very few years I’ve been active on YouTube and writing for my tech sites Techmedia Fusion and Tech Planet 30, that the UK really does not appear to be as prolific as the US and certain European countries when it comes to pretty much all things tech. Despite the fact that some fantastic scientific minds have sourced from the UK, we still seem to be quite a bit behind the game, particularly...

I think it was inevitable, that something negative was going to be reported soon after the launch of the new iPad and here it is new iPad overheating. Already certain media, press and blog’s are reporting overheating issues with the new battery, which has been used in order to give the new iPad the same battery life as the iPad 2. Obviously because of the retina display and faster A5x processor, something had to be done with the...

As a generation who live pretty much most of our lives through our smart phones, tablets and the internet, a generation of individuals who simply must have to hand at all times, 20,000 song’s, access to enough movies to run a cinema, our family tree in photos and a copy of our entire credit history, cloud storage has become big business. I remember getting one of my first PC’s, it had a 2GB hard drive and I can remember saying...

For all fans of the cult game, Guild Wars 2, the 10th of April 2012 is a big day. Although no definite public release date has been set, Guild Wars fans will still order in their droves and on this occasion there is perhaps even more reason to so so than before. When ordering your copy of the game, you will have three options to chose from, game sets to be more precise, Standard, Digital Deluxe and Collector’s Edition. Obviously the...

Most of us may have heard of ARM, however for those of you that may not. ARM, a British company from Cambridge was originally founded on November 1990 under the name of Acorn RISC Machines Ltd. Back in 1990 ARM became a joint venture between Apple, Acorn Computers (I remember the old Acorn computer well as my cousin had one) and VLSI Technology, (Very Large Scale Integration – Technology) another US company based in California, who...

Here in the UK it would be a tough decision as to which supplier of console and PC games was the biggest, Game or Gamestation; that was until quite recently. Game have recently been struggling to keep the wolves away and in doing so find themselves in a never ending circle of financial hell. However more about the irony of the two companies. Game is owned by The Game Group, and here in the UK Game Groups board members have been in strict...
