After all the hype, the teasing, and the anticipation, the first Ultrabooks have arrived in store, and it’s Acer that have scored the launch coup once again with their Aspire S3 Ultrabook debuting before any other supplier.

Connecting Your Home to Entertainment
Media players have been around for quite some time now, and they’ve taken many different forms over the years.

It was the end of an era last year when my grandmother passed away in July. She was born in the 20’s, and I was very proud of her ability to stay with the times, even having Foxtel in her room in recent years. One thing Nana did love was her radio, which was almost […]
