Port Designs pink laptop carry case
When it comes to laptop bags, it seems we've seen them all. We've been impressed, we've been unimpressed, but sometimes we just want to hark back to a basic carry case that does the job. So, back to basics we go (don't worry, we didn't lower ourselves so far as to going for a black…
Friday Video Fun: Guns are bad… but watching bullets in slow motion is fun
This is actually an anti-gun commercial, but before it gets to The Message (one I think we can all agree with, no?) there's some amazing slow motion photography of bullets ripping through household objects. And, it's set to classical music, so edumacation level here knows no bounds.
Hauppauge offers you Freeview on the move with MyTV
Don't you hate it when the only TV in the gym is firmly switched onto Sky Sports? It totally puts me off my workout and that's never a good thing. Having this fab Freeview portable TV in front of me would really help, as I could catch up on my Hollyoaks oblivious to the grunting…
Edifier Audio to launch in the UK
You know how Brits like to complain? We get everything later than our overseas friends and at an inflated price. Thankfully some of this angst can now dissipate because Edifier, the makers of high quality affordable audio products are finally getting an airing on our not so sunny shores. Pictured above are four products that…
WowWee's Femisapien: the feminism ends with the name
I don't mind admitting it - when I first saw this robot I wanted to *be* Femisapien. She looks hot. And she dances. And the original Robosapien did some really cool stuff, so I'd assume the Femisapien would get the same treatment. Not so. She's a girl, right, so she dances. And whilst the original…
The Mobiado Lucido: Silly name, silly phone
Why do people insist on creating phones that are uber expensive and rather unattractive? At a pinch I could understand it if someone wanted to coat the latest BlackBerry in molten gold, but pimping what looks like a fairly basic handset seems rather silly. Say hello to the Mobiado Lucido, a mobile that combines sapphire…
Palm make the Treo Pro officially official
Everyone else might be enraptured by Apple and Blackberry, but Palm still has a loyal, if rather small, following. The Treo Pro is both a reward to those few, and a recruitment call for others to join the group by Palm themselves. It doesn't look a million miles away from the design of the Blackberry…
Shiny Review: Nikon D60 DSLR
I find that I can't help but love the Nikon DSLR range - they make it fairly impossible to take a bad photo, even for a decidedly non-expert photographer like myself. Dan's taken quite a shine to the D60, which totes 10.2 megapixels, a 2.5-inch screen and some magical capabilities. Nope, magic is not too…
Blip.fm – It's like Last FM and Twitter had a baby
Bored of Twitter yet? Me neither, but that's not going to stop me from playing with the other Web 2.0 children, and Blip FM is like the illegitimate offspring of Twitter and Last FM. Create your user profile (because you haven't got enough of those, right?) look for tracks using the simple search bar, write…
Wii want Light Sabers!
First we had the LED Rock Band drumsticks, and next we get these glowing saber battle sticks for the Wii. I'm sure this will appeal to all those Star Wars fans who wish they could recreate that Luke Skywalker moment, and I can see them happily battling the dark side from their living room. (more…)
