February 25, 2016 By Ritchie

I’m dangling off the edge of an airborne helicopter, watching wildlife scatter as we pass over them in a flurry of sound and wind. I look back at the running wildebeests as we fly low and fast. I look up and see the helicopter rotor blades and wonder why I can’t feel a blast of […]

Samsung Series 7 Slate PC: First Look

October 3, 2011 By Ritchie

In October, Samsung will be releasing their latest offering in the tablet/slate space, unaffected by legal wrangling. Samsung provided an evaluation unit of the upcoming Series 7 Slate PC for a few fun hours, and I walked away quite impressed with what they have been able to do with a Windows-based tablet.
