Get touch feely with the Rubik's TouchCube

It seems the youth of today just aren't impressed with anything that doesn't flash, light up, come with sound effects etc - poor Twister, it must be covered in cobwebs in the back of a warehouse somewhere. So here's the Rubik's Cube, with ANOTHER modern day makeover, instead this one is electronically light based. Being…

Bye!

I can't really believe I'm typing this, but this afternoon is my last here as editor of Shiny Shiny. Without getting all Kate Winslet on your asses, I really have had the most fantastic three years here at Shiny Media, and I'll be really sorry to not be bringing you the pinkest, most diamond-encrusted, most…

Japan gets special coloured editions of the DSi

We've not even had a brush with the upcoming DSi here in the UK yet, and already those lucky folks in Japan are getting special edition colours. Whilst we'll get the black and the white version, we won't be seeing the pink, lime green or blue at launch, as far as we know. But there's…

Asus to launch super-thin 'Shell' Eee PC

The Asus S101 is a rather deliciously luxurious piece of kit, isn't it? Well, word on the web is that Asus is prepping another computing beaut, and much like its fine fine sibling, will probably have us dribbling at the mouth too. At the moment all we can provide is this rather interesting picture of…

Rock Band 2 finally coming to the Wii and Playstation

No longer is the right to rock something reserved for Xbox 360 owners - as of the 24th April, Wii owners will be able to get their hands on the Rock Band 2 kit, and on the 27th March, PS3 and PS2ers will be able to do the same. For the Wii, the game alone…

Microsoft shows Xbox Live player Red Ring of Homophobia

Watch out Xbox Livers - enter your sexual orientation in your profile, and Microsoft will have you removed before you can say 'Milk'. Teresa was apparently harassed by other Xbox Live users for having the fact that she was a lesbian in her profile, and despite moving from game to game to avoid those people,…

Philips goes for chunky with its handheld camcorder

Is it a retro music player? Is it a mobile brick from the 90s? No, it's Philips' new CIC471 4BB/27 camcorder (catchy). It's certainly no Flip Mino, or Creative Vado (which are now both available in HD) for that matter, but it is still a camcorder nonetheless... just not a very good one. Rather than…

Friday Video Fun: Animal 24-7 with sign language

Adam Buxton is something of a hero round these parts. For those of you unfamiliar with his heroism, he's a comedian who can currently be found presenting a radio show on BBC 6 Music (the resulting podcast of which is one day to be to blame for getting me smacked for mistakenly laughing in someone's…

Go back to the future with the Delorean replica

Yes, that's me... and yes that is the real Delorean, as in the Delorean used in Back to the Future one and two. Sadly, we can't all be blessed with the necessary connections to grant you access to the *actual* Delorean like me (boo hoo). But never fear, a replica is here. Albeit, it's a…
