What is a NUC?

You may have heard of the term NUC but don't know what it is?

Well NUC stands for Next Unit of Computing which simply means a small computer. The small size opens the usage up to a series of different usages such as:
  • a multimedia machine
  • usage in small spaces
  • digital signage
The unit can be attached to the back of a monitor and has inbuilt WIFI so space and cords can be kept to a minimum.

For a look inside a NUC check out the following video:

Samsung Galaxy S3 Teardown

Well it had to happen. After I dropped my phone into water and the phone survived (check out the video here - http://youtu.be/Q0CMZlcewqY) one of my techs left a phone in his trousers and then it went through the wash.

We tried the rice method of saving the phone (to try and save your phone check out the steps here- http://dpcomputing.com.au/blog/smartphone-survives-swim/) but was unsuccessful.

So what to do with a broken smart phone? Well we decided to pull it apart and video the process to show others what the insides of the Galaxy S3 smartphone looks like.

So check out the video below and if you have any comments please leave them below.
