Get your 12seconds invite here!!!

I wrote about 12seconds (the more video-y Twitter-like service) last week, and lo! We have invites for you lucky people out there. In fact, we've got 100 of them. The idea is that you have 12 seconds to record your musings, plottings or movements, which get uploaded to your own timeline. It's a fun alternative…

Shiny Review: AirDrive headphones

These are possibly a marvellous idea, and possibly filling a non-existent gap in the market. Possibly both. They're earphones that sit over your ears and transmit the noise through your bone and tissue, therefore allowing you to hear the outside world. Crazy, no? Get your Airdrives here.

Science Monday: Female guppy will risk life to escape sexual harrassment

It seems when male guppies get in the mood for love they can be frighteningly persistent, and if they're rejected will apparently "attempt to sneak a mating". Something tells me that the sneak mating move isn't a defence that would stand up in court. Rather than risk attracting males, female guppies will instead choose to…

Elvis re-enters the building with the Zvue PMP player

Ad someone who's a professed PMP fan, loving every offering that I ever get from Archos or Creative, I was initially wary about this player. But on reflection of the sleek silver chassis and etched artwork, I couldn't help but be slightly swayed. It's an extremely unique looking device and a great intro into Zvue's…

GoateeSaver, because "real men wear goatees" (and you might know one)

I don't have a goatee. You probably don't have a goatee. But perhaps your Dad does. Or your brother. Or the person who you're going to draw in four month's time when Secret Santa gifting rears its ugly head again. And then my friend, then you'll be thankful I brought this to your attention. This…

The T-shirt that denotes your relationship

My friend is currently dating a charming attractive man. He does wear white skinny jeans, but other than that he's a delight to be around. And where did she meet this delectable fellow? It was the infamous Match.com! I'm not suggesting you run out and buy a subscription (though it can't hurt), but if you…

Illuminated drumsticks, making Rock Band even cooler

What would make Phil Collins cooler? Light-up drumsticks, that's what (a Cadbury's gorrilla homage to In The Air Tonight can only do so much). These drumsticks each pack an AAA battery, and light up whenever you strike them. There's also a rubber tip to minimise actual drum noise, making them ideal for your Rock Band…

Over ear headphones with in-line mic – a long time coming

Finally! Finally someone realised there are those of us out there who both want to pretend we're some 80's style DJ, whilst simultaneously being able to take phone calls on our *so 2008* phone. These cans feature an in-line microphone, which is something I've only ever seen in rubbish in-ear headphones. At $50, they're suspiciously…

Sega Megadrive classics return on the Blaze portable player

I've already discussed my love for the Megadrive at length (hey, everyone always remembers their first console), so I was excited to hear about this offering from Blaze. It's a portable game player which includes 20 retro classic games, such as Alex Kidd, Sonic and Knuckles, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Ecco the Dolphin. As they're…

Asus previews the 'ultimate Eee PC'

More amo for those people who think Asus might have lost their way slightly since their triumphant Eee PC days. This is a prototype for the S101, which has been branded the "ultimate Eee PC". But rather than embracing the Eee PC's key selling points (i.e. its low cost) in this ultimate version, it seems…
