Then look at a white surface (blank browser, mayhaps) and start blinking. You should see a non-negative image of the girl. WHAT. BRAIN. MELTING. WHAT. OHMYGOD.

We all know that the triumvirate of exposure are shutter speeds, aperture, and ISO. It's this dastardly trio that operates like security guards to photons, standing there, ear-piece in their ears, saying "Oi, if you're name's not down, you ain't coming in".
You're probably wondering just how many social networks we need. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Path are already on my iPhone. You know what, let's add another.

Sure, we all laugh when Honda's ASIMO robot trips and falls, but walking around in plasic armour can't be that easy. Don't believe me? This ridiculous ASIMO costume will let you experience it for yourself.
While we've been spending the last few years being excited about iPhones and hundreds of different Android models, Nokia has been slowly ratcheting up an incredible milestone with its Series 40 handsets -- now claiming to have sold 1.5 billion of them.
Who’s the most recognised figure in the history of human beings? Easy, it’s probably Jesus Christ. But who’s the second most recognised figure in the history of human beings? Hmmm… it’s probably Sonic The Hedgehog isn't it?
I have a drawer filled with USB drives that I've picked up along this windy life of mine but none of them look like Empty Memory, an artsy, almost jewellry-esque USB stick that looks like it's hollow. They only hold 4GB of data but BOY DO THEY LOOK COOL.
It looks like the first Google TV device to launch in the UK won't actually be a TV, but is more likely to be a web-connected Sony Blu-ray player that also supports Google's TV dream.
