Chandelier nighlights for children
At first glance there's nothing amazingly techy about these lights. They're rather retro looking and I know a couple of people who would love to have them adorning their walls. Then you take a second look and realise these boudoir-licious lights are aimed at children. Quite apart from the choking potential caused by dangly bits…
The Monkey webcam helpfully holds pens
What do you look for in a webcam? Highest number of megapixels? Flexible stand? Motion detection? Pah! Forget those, and go for something more cuddly. After all who wants a clear picture when you can have a pen holder instead. Yes, a pen holder. Held by a monkey. A cuddly monkey. With a camera stuffed…
Happy New Year! Catch up on fireworks displays from around the globe
Happy New Year! I hope you brought it in with booze, smeared lipstick and unaccountable sticky things stuck to your shoes. If you were ensconced within some sweaty overpriced hall when the bells tolled you'll have missed the New Years fireworks, but why should you forgo that (over rated) pleasure because you were scared of…
Wii TV to bring Nintendo made shows to your living room
Up until now, the Wii hasn't been the console for media - there's no high def, and unless you're willing to crack it, it can't even play DVDs. There's certainly no Xbox-style on-demand movie library (although you can watch the iPlayer). But it seems Nintendo is going some way to address that issue, with the…
Could the soon to be released Windows 7 help Vista haters?
Software isn't always the most entertaining of things, but seeing as 2008 brought us Google Chrome and Vista, I hope you'll bear with me. It seems the highly touted Windows 7 is in the final stages of completion, but what does this mean for PC users who aren't sure of updating their systems yet again?…
Shiny Poll: what did Santa get you?
Well, that's it for another year. Time to pack up the baubles, take off the comedy reindeer antlers and get to the gym. But once all that's done, what are you left with? Tell us - what did you get from Father Christmas? For Christmas I got a... ( polls)
Pink 3G iPhone in the pipeline? Pleasegodno
Stop. Smell that? That's the smell of an Apple rumour - Macworld must be imminent. The above photo has appeared on eBay, of what appears to be a pink iPhone - notice the writing on the back of the phone, which proves it's not just a respray. Whilst this wouldn't normally be news, something is…
Zune struck down at the stroke of midnight
It's a fine time to be British, folks. It's a fine time to not be on the consumer electronics radar, a fine time to only be able to look longingly at North America and their wealth of cool products. It's a fine time to not own a Zune. If you do own a 30GB Zune,…
Geek Chic of the Week : Rubiks cube handbag
There's something so cute about this bag. Maybe it's the sheer impracticality of it, as I know it would fit just a wallet and lippie, and bang uncomfortably against my legs, but still... I want it, I do. Is it too late to get a post Christmas present from someone? $18 from Yes Style [vi…
