Okay, so I was close. For those of you just joining us, the Apple Store went down recently, and the rumour mills went even wilder than normal.
I made some predictions for the comeback, and I was close. I predicted things like updated iMacs *ahem*, colourful iPhones, or more storage.

That pretty much sums it up. The Big Fruit has knocked down their store, and the Apple rumours are flying fast and thick as to what could happen.

This is a (pretty cool) demo of a new ‘next-gen’ physics engine that’s sure to cause a laggy death.
Based on virtual layers of human elements, like a skeleton, virtual muscles, and collision detection.
The video also goes on to explain how amazing this is over ‘ragdoll’ physics, where parts of characters are stitched together.
Technology like this paves the way for virtual game characters that actually act like humans. I’m game.
All we need add to this is a Wii suit.
[Stay tuned for my look at the Wii fit]
Just an update for all my readers: as some of you may know, for months I’ve been threatening to move to a new, more professional website.
Well, I am.
It isn’t easy to get hold of the right people, but its in the works. The new template is working well, and I’ve lined up 2 definite providers for my month of wall-to-wall product reviews. That means a launch month with so many products and video reviews, you won’t be able to keep up.
Like I said, just an update. The new site will be arriving soon, along with some other major players, plus the long-awaited affilliate scheme, and more features, too.
These 15 exoskeletons vary from the sedate to the mind-bending, featuring gems like this Stelarc 6-legged monster, which reminds me of futurama’s Mobile Oppression Palace.
If I could have an exoskeleton, I’d have to go for one that made me really tall. And had wings. And maybe jet engines. What would your dream exoskeleton look like?

Randy Pausch’s last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University has become a hit on YouTube, watched thousands of times the world over.
It’s the literal last lecture of the Universities’ lecturer, as he is dying of pancreatic cancer - I defy anyone not to be touched by this.
Be warned though, the video is 78 minutes long, so you may want to set aside some time first.
