DAB seems to be the watchword for radios nowadays, but if you can't be bothered to tune in your bedside clock or don't have a good wireless signal it's probably not for you. So why not return to the joys of the humble FM radio? You could do worse than this stylish looking box (available…
The spherical mouse is like no other
This Spherical Wooden Mouse throws all the rules of a standard mouse out the window.

Day four: coming off the social network crack
It seems I've picked an ideal week to ignore the internet - reports are that it's loaded with US election related stuff (interesting the first time it's mentioned, but there's only so many time you can read 'X is thrilled Obama won' without grinding your teeth). And yes, that would indicate that I've found some…

Heidi Klum next to do a bit of Risque Business for Guitar Hero
In light of the column I wrote last week on the association of technology with women, it couldn't be more palpable than it is in this snippet of advertising for Guitar Hero World Tour. It's a short vid of the ever-stunning Heidi Klum, donning the pink shirt and white socks as famously worn by Tom…

Bonfire Night is tonight, and you may be already planning what celebration you'll be attending. Even if you're just having fun in your own back garden, it's always nice to capture the moment but how do you get a pic that isn't full of strange lights and fuzzy?
