IT career virgins need
a cherry on top
For those who still haven’t decided what to do on leaving university, the news from the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) is relatively good. According to its annual survey the job market is holding steady, but unfortunately so are salaries. However, the IT sector appears to be bucking the trend, with a year-on-year fall of 14 per cent in terms of total vacancies – but a 4.2 per cent rise in median salary, to an average starting salary of £25,000.

Puttnam: 'Forget Facebook,
think mainstream'
David Puttnam has blasted 'me-too' advertisers so blinded by trendy web 2.0 sites such as Facebook and Twitter that they forget about the more 'mainstream' sites used by the majority of the world's 1 billion web users. "No-one is interested in using digital [marketing] to talk to average families about cornflakes," quoth the media Baro.

R2D2 Wireless Web Camera
"Help me Obi-Wan, you're our only hope." The R2D2 wireless webcam sadly doesn't offer holograms of space princesses in distress but it is a wireless webcam that can transmit still and video pictures and comes with a remote control/internet phone that looks (and sounds) like a lightsaber. Ideal for Earth-bound Jedi plotting the demise of the evil empire.

i-Sobot
Robots, what are they good for? In the iSobot's case they can dance, hula, kung fu kick, play air guitar and perform push-ups, somersaults and animal impersonations. They can also respond to applause and beg for mercy, draw like a gunfighter and walk like they're drunk. In other words, the 6.5in mechanical dude's a one-bot laugh riot for home or office.

Flicflex
 |
|
Is this the future of paper? It bends, folds and even tears just like paper. But it displays digital images and text, and flips through content by 'flicking' the page. Forget paper, this could be the future of books and even computers. It's only a concept by a British designer right now, but check out the video, it's well flexy.
