Geekender Gallery: Mutant Clones from China review
Reviews Nothing conveys the swagger of someone who just doesn't care as walking along the road apparently talking to a packet of fags. One of the most interesting groups of technologists in China are the shanzhai — a word with connotations similar to Robin...

Netgear DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway review
Reviews And instead of tech support talking the user through the modem’s set-up process screen by screen, the two of them will have to work out, between them, just what is where in the set-up for the particular modem in question.

When two-factor fails review
