Here's a list of my favorite gadgets for summer 2012!
1) Mophie Juice Pack Air ($79)
The Mophie Juice Pack Air basically doubles your battery life on your phone which I am always finding I need. My phone, especially as it gets older, runs out of battery pretty fast from my heavy usage so this is awesome. It's sort of expensive, but all phone cases are getting really expensive these days.
Hi Guys, I am back with another post.
Today I will speak about all the people out there who are getting into the whole Social Media thing but want everything to be done their way.
Question is, when are people actually going to make an effort and make things happen rather than wait for something to happen which at the end of the day becomes something a lot smaller than it needs to be!
Have you had any similar experiences lately? Let us know
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Very few cosmic spacescapes excite my imagination in a way that the Orion Nebula does, this recently published 'super hi-res' image from the Hubble telescope is pretty damn epic.

Also known as M42, the nebula's glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away. The Orion Nebula offers one of the best opportunities to study how stars are born partly because it is the nearest large star-forming region, but also because the nebula's energetic stars have blown away obscuring gas and dust clouds that would otherwise block our view - providing an intimate look at a range of ongoing stages of starbirth and evolution.
So since the Higgs Boson thing, I haven't really written much about science. I thought I'd do a quick one on panspermia to amend this little problem.
Of all the theories on how life on Earth originated (or to be more specific, how it accelerate at such a rate), panspermia stands out as the most likely (in my opinion).
We all know life evolved over billions of years (it's estimated that the earliest forms of life existed on earth around 3 billion years ago, if I remember my astronomy course correctly), but there was a period of time where evolution was sped up beyond predicted levels, allowing multicellular lifeforms to evolve in a much shorter time than they would normally have needed.
Bigger ain't always better. Ask anyone who's watched the world's greatest soccer player, the 5'7" Lionel Messi. Or someone now regretting that they just snarfed down a Supersized meal.
Despite Steve Jobs' public trashing of smaller-than-10-inch tablets, an iPad Mini seems, based on the history of Apple rumors and my own reporting, to be not only inevitable, but a likely hit, too, especially with big businesses.
Both my parents work long hours, my step-father in particular. My mother, also, rarely finds time to go to Tesco to do the weekly food shop. In the case where she finds half an hour spare, she does her food online and it gets delivered to our doorstep, a handy process.
I, myself, am working long hours this summer too to pay for university next year (if you’ve read my previous blog posts you will know about this).
I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul...
We're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.

Articles that begin with the question "did you know?" usually turn out to be pretty dull. Not so here (we hope).
So here it goes. Did you know that Wrexham - like that fictional hero Captain James T Kirk - is helping man boldly go where no-one has gone before?
Scientists at Glyndwr University are developing prototype mirror segments for the aptly named European Extremely Large Telescope (it will be extremely large).
