Community Radio: On the wavelength of hopeless dreams

Radio Free Brighton

I'm the technical director of Radio Free Brighton.

We made the decision not to bother with FM at all and are 100% online.

Wi-Fi operators promise globo roaming standard

Eduroam

It's not often we get to say this, but we've had this in academia for years.

Silly Gawkers

Germany warns surfers against Firefox

LTS

Chip cooler launches liquid nitro at CPUs

Perfect

Google Sky gazes at mobile maps

Just paving the way....

Far from this lacking a clear purpose, this represents Google's first steps into the world of augmented reality.

Their goal is to monetize all information on the planet right? Augmented reality is the perfect way to escape from digitized information.

I, for one, welcome our soon-to-be-advert-overlaying overlords.

Prints?

Oi! El Reg!

Any chance we can get prints of these timeless classics? Or how about desktop wallpaper sizes?
