Campbell will produce and star in the project, said USA programming chief Jeff Wachtel, which will focus on Sam Axe's last day of military service and how he became the character he is today. Burn Notice is currently in it's fourth season. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=474 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=474 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 06:32:00 +1000 5th July, 2010 06:32 AM - The Rinse FM iPhone App has now been updated to 1.6. With 1.6, the app now supports iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhoneOS). One of the many benefits of iOS 4.0 is Background Audio, so now you can listen to Rinse FM and switch to your other favourite app, whilst still staying locked on. We've also added a Timer / Snooze feature. You can preset how long you want to listen to Rinse and when the timer is up -- the music will stop. Handy for when you want to listen to some tunes before going to bed. We've made some changes to the Schedule page. At present, it's currently offline -- more soon on that. Plus we're working on some other cool features -- look out for 1.7 soon. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=473 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=473 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 02:00:00 +1000 7th June, 2010 02:00 AM - Today, Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference kicked off in San Francisco at the Moscone Center West and this time, I was there in person (actually 12 rows from Steve).

That pretty much sums up the new LP from Sabre, who has continued with his usual style of laid back production, but has taken it to a new level and delivered a harmonious soundscape."

When the iPad was released with no Flash -- this "discussion" came up again. So, Steve Jobs posted his Thoughts on Flash, which had some very valid points as to why no Flash. Adobe tried to fire back and mentioned how Google's Android would be getting Flash. Well, here's a hands-on preview of the Android Tablet (or whatever it's going to be called) showing YouTube running Flash crashing the browser. Enuff said. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=468 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=468 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 06:00:00 +1000 29th April, 2010 06:00 AM - So true ... http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=467 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=467 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 06:09:00 +1000 8th April, 2010 06:09 AM - Today, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs gave a sneak peek into the future of the iPhone OS.

ABC News reported that "Landmarks across Australia were being plunged into darkness, also including Parliament House in Canberra and Melbourne's Luna Park and Federation Square". Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating.

Whilst, this is the original, the Drum n Bass mix knocks it's socks off. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=463 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=463 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 07:59:00 +1000 23rd March, 2010 07:59 AM - http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=462 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=462 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:27:00 +1000 18th March, 2010 02:27 AM - What a work of art -- made by none other than modder guru, Ben Heck, engadget has an awesome video of it's making, so check it out. When I was a kid, we use to make very simple pinball machines using rubber bands, pegs and marbles -- ah good times. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=460 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=460 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 05:02:00 +1000 3rd March, 2010 05:02 AM - The "machine" used in this video was designed and built by the band, along with members of Synn Labs over the course of several months. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=459 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=459 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:35:00 +1000 2nd March, 2010 12:35 PM - As heard on KrankyDigital Radio 28th February, 2010 it's The Chill Factor with DJ Sikosis. Session 3 kicks off with some chill, followed by some slowed-to-perfection house, some more chill and then rounded off with a classic DnB track -- sounds like The Chill Factor to me. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=461 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=461 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:00:00 +1000 21st February, 2010 10:00 AM - Classic. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=458 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=458 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 12:13:00 +1000 13th February, 2010 12:13 PM - As heard on KrankyDigital Radio 31st January, 2010 it's The Chill Factor with DJ Sikosis. Very quiet in the chat room this month, however some very chill tunes this session.

Unfortunately, my microphone wasn't working so I couldn't give any shouts out to the chat room -- should have a solution by next month. Til, then sit back and relax with Session 1. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=456 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=456 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:57:00 +1000 3rd February, 2010 06:57 AM - Check out this very addictive flash game by Bell Brothers called Record Tripping. Basically, you use your mouse to scratch the music, which in turn controls the game, so you can then complete the objectives. Sounds weird? It is, but it's also fun to play! http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=453 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=453 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:00:00 +1000 27th January, 2010 09:00 AM - "Following on from his brilliant "Crash, Bang, Wallop!" LP release in 2009, Logistics has been entrusted with mix duties on the latest Hospital mix -- which is a good thing, as we're still trying to scrub the memory of mix 7 from our brains."

"A large, high-resolution LED-backlit, IPS display. An incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen. And an amazingly powerful, Apple-designed chip. All in a design that’s thin and light enough to take anywhere. iPad isn’t just the best device of its kind. It's a whole new kind of device." Except it's just a Kindle killer and for a market that only a small percentage care about. Anyway, get your Apple fix here with the Steve Jobs keynote. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=452 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=452 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:32:00 +1000 26th January, 2010 03:32 AM - Happy Australia Day! Let's hope our Internet isn't brain dead from government filters by this time next year ... anyway, not to begin on a sour note, as today is a day to enjoy, as it's also time to celebrate the Top 20 Drum n Bass of 2009. Once again we teamed up with Dancenode, but I'm also joined by Melon and N3B for comments on our favourite tracks over the year. So without further ado, here is the 4th Annual Top 20 Drum n Bass of 2009. Will you be as surprised as one of our judges was with the Number 1 ? http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=451 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=451 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:17:00 +1000 19th January, 2010 04:17 AM - "Australia Day won't just be celebrated with the usual barbecues, pool parties and the Top Drum n Bass of 2009 [oh and Triple J Hottest 100] this year. A throng of Australian websites will mark the event by fading to black as part of a week-long, national protest against the Federal Government's proposed internet filter."
