Bill Gates goes insane. Completely, properly, insane.

Um, internet, we has a problem. Bill Gates has lost it - he seems to be under the impression he's God. Last night, he unleashed a plague of mosquitos on an unsuspecting TED audience, screaming (I'm not actually sure he screamed. I imagine he did) "Not only poor people should experience this!". He may or…

The Nikon P90 – the P80 upgraded

For me, the P80 is hands down one of the best cameras I've ever had the pleasure of getting my mitts on. I put this down to its wonderful megazoom, compact body and variety of practical and nifty features. Now it's time for the P80 to take a step back and let its successor take…

The Toshiba TG01 has got people pretty damn excited, with its fancy looks, its superspeedy, super efficient Snapdragon chipset, 4.1-inch touchscreen, Div-X and full Flash support, AGPS and GPS... the list goes on.

That great whopping screen you're staring at is a 24-incher (hence the name) edge-to-edge 1080p HD display, which is coupled…

Geek Chic of the Week: Segway T-Shirt

This top should appeal to the Susi's of the world who'd like nothing better than to roll around on one of these all day. Then again, as I've been working my way through Arrested Development (first time around) I think I'd be quite happy with one as well. Sadly the price tag is a little…

Jason Bradbury, best known for The Gadget Show (oh, hi! Did we mention we're partnering with them for The Gadget Show Live?!) has published a kids book, and hallelujah! It's got a fabulously geeky girl as the main character - Brooke English. In a world of few strong literary female characters (I've been reading The…
