“The truth is, no-one in the universe has ever read the terms and conditions. Not even God has read the terms and conditions. Anything could be on there and we’d agree to it!” When Eddie Izzard pointed this out on his 2011 standup tour, 21st century tech’s manifest of ‘the fine print’ wasn’t the same embodiment of public revolt… more

The annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, like many tech trade shows, has shifted its focus in recent years. Front-and-center stands not the cell phone itself but the rapidly developing technology that has transformed the device from simply a wireless telephone to almost anything but. Most of the eight ‘themes’ of this year’s MWC, which takes place 26th February to… more

Colorfy exhibits at Las Vegas’ annual Consumer Electronics Show for the first time this year. The event traditionally showcases the latest hardware and gadgets, physical technology you can hold in your hand and play around with.

How Google’s Assistant Is Ushering Us Into a New Era of Design. While IoT was a term coined in 1999 and its buzz has been building since then, Google and the world’s focus on A.I. marks a tectonic shift in technology, and I believe we're looking at the dawn of something incredibly impactful. After Google’s hardware event last week where… more

I just spent money on something I don’t need — an advanced GPS computer for bikers called Omata One. I’m no biker. Well, of course, I have a bike, and I ride — as most Berliners do — but I don’t care about speed, distances, and vertical ascent. So there is no point in owning a speedometer, especially one this fancy. For me, backing Omata on… more
