Our seminar agenda will be held across 8 theatres, with a renewed focus on the key subject areas driving change in IT departments across Europe and the rest of the world. Here is a little summary of each dedic…

IBM is not shy about showing off its scientific prowess, after-all this is the company that has a dedicated innovations division that puts out supercomputers and androids on a regular basis. The latest thing to marvel at from IBM is the “world’s smallest movie.”

The movie (after the break) has been made using one of the smallest things in the universe, an atom and it is entitled “A Boy and His Atom”. For us to see the images IBM has had to enlarge them 100 million times, so yes, this is a…

It seems as though man is attempting another giant leap with the Mars One project, but are we leaping before we can walk? Mars One is a 10-year scientific project that aims to put a workable colony on Mars by the year 2023, and the great news is, it is open to everyone.

The project will be funded by several methods, including the selling of merchandise, donations, sponsors, and an agreement for exclusive rights to the project with the Interplanetary Media Group (IMG). The only catch is th…

Google Glass is the futuristic mini computer that can be worn on the eyes, a piece of technology that just a few years ago would have seemed straight from the realms of science fiction. Google will release its latest innovation this year, and even at $1,500 a pair there is likely to be high demand for the device. However, it seems that not everyone will be welcoming Google Glass with open arms.

In fact, it seems that the technology will be banned from use in more places than it is allowed…

FIFA, world footballs governing body finally relented recently when it made the decision to allow goal line technology into leagues and tournaments around the globe.

Apple could be readying a prepaid version of its iTunes Store that would allow users to purchase media content straight from the cloud without needing an internet connection. The Cupertino company was granted a patent today from a 2010 filing for a system that allows users to make iTunes purchases offline with a credit card.

The system works by giving the user the ability to buy credits online and then store them both online on iTunes and locally on a device. iTunes would automatically ca…

Working as an aid worker or indeed in any other industry in hostile places around the globe comes with a number of dangers. One of the most clear and present dangers is kidnap, but a new device has been produced in a bid to help gain faster responses to kidnap and hostage situations.

The Natalia Project Bracelets look like funky watches, but they are actually satellite communicators of sorts. The bracelets are fitted with satellite navigation technology that can be triggered to send alert…

Normally when talking about cars, one may think straight away about American, European and Japanese cars, and the others making little impact. However, the South Korean car manufacturer, Hyundai Motors, is now making some big achievements as it has now overtaken some of the global players in this field at least in Australia.

Hyundai Motors announced today it has beaten the local giants in Australia, Ford and Holden (subsidiary of the U.S.-based General Motors or GM), in car sales with a t…

Google is ramping up its Google Glass propaganda as the company draws nearer to delivering its revolutionary product. Google developer advocate Timothy Jordan has been speaking about Google Glass today, while the company has released a first explainer video for the device.

Jordan rather strangely described Google Glass as a way for people to distance themselves from technology, which is kind of bizarre considering the device is a personal mini-computer that is worn on the eyes. More speci…
