Crank up the karaoke with Lucky Voice

Pandora had a box, but she wasn't supposed to open it and ultimately her curiosity got the better of her, unleashing evil on to the world; in this box however, you'll find over 6,000 karaoke favourites and classics (which some may deem as evil), providing hours of unadulterated singing related fun (much to the annoyance…

Shiny Review: LG Arena (KM900)

I got very hands on with the LG Arena, which can I say, is one might *mighty* fine handset. And I must admit, I got a little carried away... for a whopping 9 minutes and 36 seconds. What can I say? It's such a lush handset and although there are aspects of it that are…

Light emitting water bottles – I kid ye not

The recession has everyone in thrift mode - well apart from the more affluent amongst us - and it's all about saving money in anyway we can, even if it means forgoing your favourite brand of bacon for the cheaper brand (*sad face*). Lighting is also another area that can be sacrificed in order to…

Oparla: The search engine that puts pounds in your pocket

Google dominates the market in terms of search engine. It has some competition from Yahoo and ASK, but essentially rules the roost. Well a new player is entering the scene, and though we wish them well, their USP better be very good as otherwise they'll be swallowed up. The new search engine is called Oparla,…

CB2 the biometric child – just don't look into its eyes

We've seen a lot of sinister attempts from the Japanese to bring us a robot with human-like features and they'll get there... eventually. It's just right now, they're still in the very freakishly scary/nightmare inducing stage. But hey, if you want to experience what it's like to have a kid akin to Damien or the…

Le Whif: Don't eat your chocolate, inhale it

Your mother always said don't play with your food. She didn't however, say you couldn't inhale it though, did she? I imagine inhaling food is a popular method of food consumption for the freakishly skinny and inhaling chocolate seems more than bizarre (inhaling = no calories, right?). But according to its cerazy creators, the Le…

Shiny Review: Medion S1211 Hello Kitty netbook

A netbook with Hello Kitty all over it? Hmm. You'd assume they might have sacrificed substance for style, but surprisingly this isn't the case. I test drive the Medion S1211 and discover how impressive the specs are (160GB HDD anyone) whilst fighting my urge to call it cute. £329 from Medion

Hold the phone – a Whirlpool microwave winner has been chosen

Remember that competition we put on the site two weeks ago with the dazzling red microwave as the prize goodies? What am I talking about, based on the ridiculously high number of entrants, of course you know what I'm talking about. There is either a hell of a lot of people in need of a…

Inject some animation into your audio with the Headphonies

Is it just me, or do the Headphonies sound like they should have their own kiddy TV show on Saturday mornings? No, just me then? OK. Well, they're not a set of cerazy looking critters designed to bring joy to littler kids while their parents cash in their lie-ins, they're actually some kind of moshi…
