Google Blacklists The Whole Internet
The 40 minute “glitch” initiated by Google’s malware detector which trys to block sites that may be malicious to the user. Unfortunately the Malware Dection was a little off and caused every site in Google’s search (which most people use) to be blacklisted. The world almost came to a standstill! Just think how many geeks were struggling and twitching not being able to jump into the cloud! Anyway Google has shrugged it off as “human failure” blaming it on an engineer who apparently added all sites instead of one site to the blacklist. Easily done it seems.
One wonders how long until an engineer accidentally deletes everyones GMail account?

The Cargo Scooter Concept Bike
Elliot Ortiz has designed this interesting bike concept called the ‘Cargo’ . While it looks quite futuristic I cannot help but wonder how long before every deliveryman/courier/pizzaguy has one. Aah those documentaries in China will never be the same!

First computers, then TV’s, then PDA’s… is Michael Dell turning Dreadnought Dell onto a collison course with Apple and Rim? Rumour has it that Dell are about to leap into the race for a share of the smartphone pie! Watch this space – I will keep you posted!
Denon DVD-A1UDCI Multiformat Player Delayed
Denon’s all conquering Multi-Format-Universal player has been delayed until March 2009. Japanese firm Denon has not released too much info as to the reason for the delay other than the cliched “production problems” (made famous by Wii makers Nintendo and obviously catching on!) It plays Blu-ray, SACDs, CDs, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and it looks beautiful!

Colim Is Your Very Own Optimus Prime Camper Van
The Colim , which stands for Colors of Life in Motion, is the brainchild concept of German Designer Christian Susana. Go on holiday, park somewhere nice and detach for a little jaunt around the city! Sleeps 4 with a top speed of 90 mph. Makes sense doesn’t it? No word on when they will go into production but keep a look out.
