When you think MSI Wind NetOn, think HP TouchSmart and Eee Top

2009 marks the year MSI plans to convert those world dominating ambitions into an actuality, by attempting to take a lead in the all-in-one PC market with its Wind NetOn models. Before the doors opened at CES this year, we already knew they were planning to impress with a range of netbooks and notebooks. What…

Guitar Hero cupcakes will make you a cupcake hero

Prove you can still be a Guitar Hero, despite lacking rhythm, having unbelievably inept fingers and the virtual guitar playing skills of an arthritis riddled pensioner, by baking your very own Guitar Hero cupcakes. It's dead easy to do, unless of course you lack culinary skills too (god help you). Cup cakes aren't something you'd…

iHome and the techni-coloured iPod audio system

Somewhere in the middle of the Consumer Electronics Show stood the iHome stand and its translucent iH15 LED Colour Changing iPod Stereo in all its multicoloured splendour. At the touch of a button you're treated to a chameleon-esque techni-coloured light show, customised by you, while you chillax to a bit of Kings of Leon. The…

No Mess Peeler: This is what the future of vegetable peeling looks like

Until someone lets me start a kitchen equipment blog, I am going to persist in afflicting my love of a good kitchen gadget on Shiny Shiny. Seriously, I love this shit. In fact, an ideal afternoon in my world is a good run of random adverts selling things you never knew you needed, all of…

CES 2009: NJOY ecigarettes

Zara managed to track down the only manufacturer of e-cigarettes here in the US, NJOY. And there's more than just cigarettes - there are styles that will make you look (kind of) like Audrey Hepburn, and another that will make you look like Groucho Marx. What fun.

Death to accidentally wiping iPods, with the TuneBlocker

I've lost count of the number of times I've plugged in my iPod to a new computer and absent mindedly wiped the whole library, thanks to accidentally syncing it. You'd think it would be a lesson learned, but apparently I don't have the mental capacity for that. So, the TuneBlocker sounds like a dream come…

CES 2009: The story so far…

So geekeroons, it's that time of year again, when thousands upon thousands of tech lovers descend upon somewhere big enough to house all the gadgets that'll be making their debut in '09. Well, the need for speculation and crystal ball gazing is no more. We'll keep adding the latest gadgets to the top of the…

CES 2009: Mu-bot headphones

Back in 2006 we brought these headphones to your attention, but I can now reveal they're going to hit the USA mass market this spring and move away from their niche resting place in Japan. They're basically headphones attached to a white plastic body, and before you think 'aww how cute', they're actually pretty frustrating…

CES 2009: Skullcandy Pipe iPod Dock and Speakers

We love Skullcandy 'phones here at Shiny, but did you know they also do their own line of audio speakers? This multicoloured barrel is lovingly described as an 'audio bazooka', and the paint job ain't bad either. Naturally it's fully iPod compatible, and also charges the devices whilst they play. You get an included remote…

CES 2009: iPanda and iGhost from Speakal

The iPanda is basically an updated but slightly cuter (in my opinion) version of the iPig we raved about earlier this year. It incorporates the exact same specs,as both have 25 watts of sound,a cutesy case and a mouth that lights up when it's happy/turned on. The iPanda is iPod compatible and plays sound in…
