Deus X Human Evolution Preview

E3 is not far away now so an influx of great new promo materials for upcoming releases is to be expected. One of the first to kick the promo madness into gear is the fantastic new trailer for Deus X Human Evolution. Deus X remains one of my favourite video games of all time - it's successor while still a decent experience failed to impress, but I am very hopeful that the third release in the franchise will be a return to top form. Decide for yourself by watching the trailer below. [flashvideo ...

Backing Up, Carbon Copy Cloner, Time Machine & Mozy

Backing up is something most computer literate people will be aware of, yet it is something that is often neglected my millions of computer users in varying disciplines all over the world. I myself fall into this category to some degree, I do have Time Machine backups and a good part of  my data stored on external hard drives but I do not manage the process with any degree of regularity or indeed care. Listening to a few of my favourite podcasts The Mac Attack, Mac Power Users and generally real...

Transmission – Torrents Are Viable

The very mention of the word torrent signifies illegal activity and the acquisition of files in a non-legitimate fashion. It's a shame because for all it's misuse BitTorrent is actually an extremely useful protocol that when used properly provides a fast and reliable way for people to share data. I guess it's fair to say that it's not so much the concept but how people decide to use it or in this case misuse it. In today's digital media society the connected nature of our existence and the exten...

Western Digital My Book Essential 1TB

After about a week of waiting my recent order with Amazon arrived yesterday evening. I had almost given up on it coming and disappointingly got more than a little upset with the courier, at around 8.30 however a van pulled up at the door with the much anticipated brown parcel. I was surprised by the late delivery and also really happy it had arrived. One of the items in my box of goodies was a new external hard drive. I already own three Western Digital External drives each having served me well...

Getting Things Done, Amazon Order, Pacific & Kate Beckinsale

I decided late last night to refrain from working today, not exactly the most strategic of decisions considering the amount of things I need to get done in the next couple of weeks, but it may well prove to be best option. Firstly it's a Bank Holiday and there are very few people doing anything work related today, I find it very hard to work when I know everyone else isn't. Secondly and more importantly I just need some me time, so I intend to spend the next twelve hours taking things relatively...
