Geek Anvil (currently geeking...)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Grabbed a Samsung Galaxy S II this week. Mad how things move on since my last phone was bought 18 months ago.

1.2Ghz dual core, plays pretty much all formats up to full 1080p HD inc HDMI output, takes video up to 1080p @ 30fps, a pretty decent 8M camera and an eye-boggling 4.3'' Super Amoled Plus screen......

.....and it's 8mm thick at it's biggest part! That is mad.

I wonder what things will be in another year or two at this rate?!

I just do not get the current fad for "3D" (actually stereoscopic) TV and films. From what I hear, audiences are agreeing with me; the "2D" versions of both the new Pirates Of The Caribbean film and Kung Fu Panda 2 both did far better at the box office than the "3D" versions.

Once the audiences are bored of it, Hollywood will stop making "3D" content. Why bother paying to make them if no-one's watching? Without the content, your very expensive telly is stuck back on "2D" mode for the rest of its life.

Totally agree and that was my stance until I saw the 3D demo, it wasn't all colours and objects flying out the screen, it was the enhanced depth of image onscreen that so impressed. I was just trying to be a bit 'futureproof'. :|

and for me
a Spamsung SMART HD 3D Blurray player.

Wondering what people's thoughts on Google's Chromebook were?

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I can't quite bring myself to trust Google (or any other global corporation) with my data.
