Make a call on a cup all day long you'll have good luck
Ok, I can't promise you good luck, but there is definitely 100 percent truth in the first part. Take a cheap fast food cup, stick in a telephone wire, a keypad and the ability to make calls, and what do you get? An absolutely awful and ridiculously designed telephone concept ever, that's what. If you…
The Random Paragraph generator is rather puzzling
'Below shiny shiny beams the morning ice. Shiny shiny riots opposite Zara. The beginning concentrate swings before the close trend. The continent unlocks Zara. Shiny shiny takes Zara before your stamp. How will the steam conform?' Yes, I realize that doesn't make much sense, but that's what the generator came up with based on me…
Defunct records have been given a new lease of life
Ahh vinyl - the forgotten format that once use to rule the dance floor and the DJ box. Much like the video/DVD transition, there are some who just couldn't let the past go and move into a new era and the same can be said for records. But if you have moved on to greater,…
The Asus S101 gets the pink paint job
It's as if a gadget is not a real gadget until it's received a pink makeover - whether it's Barbie pink, cerise, baby pink cherry and all the other variations. And if the pink make over, real gadget thing isn't an urban myth, the Asus S101 has just received its official 'real gadget' stamp. The…
Get your poke on with party Poken
Remember the old days? Pre-internet and mobiles when you had to communicate by talking or *gasp* letter form?

Say hi to the Poken, a cutesy RFID…
LG to launch sunlight Illuminated LCD laptop at CES 2009
We know that green is a big watchword in the tech market, and if you team that up with a fully functional laptop you might just have a winning combination. True, it's a 14.1 inch LG notebook rather than a netbook (hey three buzzwords would rule) but it's supposed to reduce power consumption by 75%…
Would you tweet your plane crash?
Your plane has just slid off the runway during take-off, one of the engines catches fire, your heart's beating at one hundred miles per hour and your life is almost certainly flashing before your eyes. So what do you do? Tweet it all? I can't imagine Twitter being my first train after thought after "oh…
Sony has something up its sleeve for its Vaio range in the New Year
Word on the web is, come January 2009, a revolutionary and jaw dropping Sony Vaio laptop is going to be unleashed into the world of the portable computer. There is even a dedicated website with a countdown clock and the words "On the 9th of January you will change the way you look at laptops…
Yay! Hello Kitty competition ends, winners announced – it's all very exciting
Today is a great day I tell you. Why? Because the HK competition is over (remember - those five Hello games up for grabs?) *fanfare*. And I learned a valuable lesson - do not, under any circumstances provide a competition question that requires people to get their creative and comical hats on. Let's just say,…
