Coffee Break

If you're an estate agent, you must give the man in this YouTube video a job. Immediately. Watch how he turns what can best be described as an ‘alleyway' into an ‘ample garage' with expert judgement and much comedy.

Then flick through the video and prepare to giggle as he exits his vehicle and steps directly into his living room, adding literally four pounds to the value of his house. People would pay millions for that convenience in central London.

If you've parked in a tighter spot without scraping your doors on brickwork, we'd like to hear about it. Post your comments below, please.

The HP Mini 2133 was one of the most stylish not-quite-netbooks we saw last year. It was one of the few that looked like a real notebook, but at the time we bemoaned the inclusion of Vista.

So it’s pleasing to note that the new Mini includes XP Home as the installed operating system. Microsoft’s XP licensing deal means that as a result the RAM in the Mini 1001TU is reduced to 1GB, rather than the 2133’s 2GB, but XP with 1GB performs better than Vista with 2GB, as our recent RAM performance tests showed.

While we benchmark all the netbooks and notebooks that come through our labs, we’ve found amazing consistency for the Atom N270 processor. Even so, the HP Mini rates on the higher side of performance.

It’s score of 0.41 is better than the other nbetbooks we’ve seen bearing this processor – The Eee PC 901 scored .39, for example, and the Wind 0.38. But it’s not in performance that the HP Mini stands out.

Instead, it’s style and usability where HP has focused its efforts. The lid has a silver spiraling pattern across the piano black surface, making it the most attractive netbook we’ve seen.

The Mini-note 2133 had a beautifully stylish silver keyboard, and the only way in which the 1000 is inferior is in colour – the keys are ... [Read full story]

Traveling is what brings me to read a little, this time it was an interesting pick in fact, the author herself is an architect, worked as a production designer and written two screenplays. It’s amazingly her first book as well. In an astonishing literately novel she tells a story of a twin, Rahel and Estha. Which Feels as watching a motion picture than just reading through, she has an amazing way of taking you into these little kids brains, living and experiencing what they truly go through. It goes backwards from sorting the incidents only then to tell you how they happened and what they’ve gone through. A tragedy their life is, from a crucial environment to their own family at their own home.
