Director Alberto De Martino has an interesting list of films under his belt from Ok Connery to Holocaust 2000 and a particular favourite of mine, Miami Golem.

With kids increasingly turning away from books and toward their tablets and smartphones, Zappar has provided a solution – marrying the two with its latest launch: The Boy With His Head Stuck In A Book. An augmented reality book for children aged 7-11, written by a primary English teacher who noticed that disengaged students were more inclined to pick up a book with a technological element, bridging literature and digital media. The relatable protagonist is a school boy that hates reading – he gets his head literally stuck in a book when he is dragged to a library and flung into a fantastical world full of characters from classic novels to contemporary fiction. Referencing a multitude of various renowned books (listed below) provides a quick and easy way of inspiring students to explore these texts in more detail, with minimal nagging from parents and teachers. Coming soon to Amazon, the book is brought to life with augmented reality technology and the free to download Zappar app – discover more about Zappar and their technology here: http://www.zappar.com/ Check out http://www.techaddicts.uk for the full review here: http://www.techaddicts.uk/featured/the-boy-with-his-head-stuck-in-a-book-review/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvTAXvSuVxc

Punch in a piece of software or an online service and it spits back all sorts of other options in the same realm. The results are generally a good mix of open-source and paid alternatives. The site has introduced me to a lot of software and services that I didn't know existed.

My Chromebox is 16GB but when I started monitoring memory usage (using diagnostics) I never saw a point when I was using more than 8GB - this is since Google optimised Chrome and Chrome OS with recent updates. In the end I bought the i5 8GB Acer 516GE (https://www.acer.com/gb-en/chromebooks/acer-chromebook-516-ge-cbg516-1h) and it is highly recommended as a great all-rounder with a fab 16" screen in a virtually 15" and light, too. The only downside is battery life where I tend to get around 6 hours compared to 10 or more on other Chromebooks - the price you pay for the spec I guess. £849 from Acer (https://store.acer.com/en-gb/acer-chromebook-gamer-516-ge-cbg516-1h-grey?internal_source=agw%3A%3Agb-en&internal_medium=product%3A%3A1&internal_campaign=where_to_buy&internal_content=acer_chromebook_516_ge_%28cbg516-1h%29%3A%3ANX.KCWEK.003) News, Mews and Views Bad news for BitLocker users — its encryption can be cracked remarkable easily (https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/bad-news-for-bitlocker-users-its-encryption-can-be-cracked-remarkable-easily) Spiral-shaped lens provides clear vision at a range of distances and lighting conditions (https://phys.org/news/2024-02-spiral-lens-vision-range-distances.html?utm_source=pocket_saves) 31 year old sea-floor generator tech will soon begin commercial operation (https://interestingengineering.com/energy/waveroller-sea-floor-generator-tech?utm_source=pocket_saves) Microsoft is killing off Publisher in 2026 (https://www.xda-developers.com/microsoft-killing-off-app-october-2026/?utm_source=pocket_saves) Hardline on the hardware Samsung will re-release the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet in 2024 (https://gagadget.com/en/buzz/393797-confirmed-samsung-will-re-release-the-galaxy-tab-s6-lite-tablet-in-2024/) - Official site (https://www.samsung.com/uk/tablets/galaxy-tab-s/galaxy-tab-s6-lite-blue-128gb-wi-fi-sm-p613nzbebtu/) Acer Chromebox Mini debuts as a fanless mini PC with ChromeOS (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Chromebox-Mini-debuts-as-a-fanless-mini-PC-with-ChromeOS.801947.0.html?utm_source=pocket_saves) New Chromebook ‘Xol’ emerges with an Assistant Key built in (https://chromeunboxed.com/new-chromebook-xol-emerges-with-an-assistant-key-built-in/?utm_source=pocket_saves) Easy-to-Repair Knockoff of Original iPod is Crowdfunding Smash (https://www.core77.com/posts/128487/Easy-to-Repair-Knockoff-of-Original-iPod-is-Crowdfunding-Smash?utm_source=pocket_saves) The Wearables Watch Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro global pricing revealed ahead of launch (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaomi-Smart-Band-8-Pro-global-pricing-revealed-ahead-of-launch.799975.0.html?utm_source=pocket_saves) Moto Watch 40 announced (https://www.gsmarena.com/moto_watch_40_announced_-news-61513.php) Phone Zone The first leaked Google Pixel Fold 2 image shows an extra camera and a new design (https://www.techradar.com/phones/google-pixel-phones/the-first-leaked-google-pixel-fold-2-image-shows-an-extra-camera-and-a-new-design?utm_source=pocket_saves) HMD Global confirms there will be new Nokia phones (https://www.notebookcheck.net/HMD-Global-confirms-there-will-be-new-Nokia-phones.800857.0.html?utm_source=pocket_saves) You'll be able to use your Samsung Galaxy phone as your PC's webcam from March (https://www.androidpolice.com/samsung-galaxy-windows-webcam/?utm_source=pocket_saves) The Name of the Game Microsoft Store now lets you instantly try games without downloading them (https://www.techradar.com/computing/software/... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1UQ6v0gvDU
