GADGET SHOW LIVE TALK: Gadgets to make you look good and feel great
Technology has long been used to aid and enhance our life. At its highest (and yes I do mean most expensive) form there are tools available to cater for your every whim - you can have a robotic maid, automatic dishwashers and computers that wake you up with a personalized hello and back massage tailored…
Battle of the budget touchscreen: The LG Cookie vs the Orange Vegas
In this current climate, no one is spending much dough. And as much as you'd love a shiny new iPhone it doesn't seem feasible tying yourself into a pricey 24 month contract. You've probably started looking at other cheaper options, and that's when we get to the world of budget touchscreens. I was very impressed…
On demand adverts from SKY with a click of the green button
How do you feel when adverts come on TV? Frustrated? Excited? Unhappy when they finish? If you agreed with the last two adjectives then you'll be thrilled to hear that SKY are now going to provide you with more adverts than ever on their channels, and if you fell into the former category than you'll…
Geek Chic of the Week: Rubik's cube for the blind
Despite my geek credentials I must admit to never having managed to complete a Rubik's cube. I've struggled many hours with one, and the only way I've ever managed to make the colours line up is by cheating. Just because you have poor vision is no reason not get involved with the nefarious cube, so…
Get a hi def G-Shot from Genius with the HD520 videocamera
It seems like every videocamera nowadays is trying to emulate the success of the Flip Mino, and turn a teeny weeny handheld into a piece of high definition shooting action. Well this baby manages all that, plus more, and manages to provide you all this for a very attractive price. You get a 2.5 inch…
Twitter saves TV series: The best use of micro blogging ever?
Remember the uproar when they cancelled My So Called Life? No, maybe you were to young. Sigh. Well how about hit show Firefly or the much loved Pushing Daises? Gone, without a trace, despite our best efforts. At the time all we could do was grit our teeth and write long letters of disgust/strongly worded…
Shiny preview: The HTC Magic
One day after telling you about the latest phone to get Android software, along comes a video that shows us just what the G2 is going to look like. And it's pretty damn impressive, A video camera, a larger trackball and a shiny white gloss finish (black for Italians). I think I'm a little bit…
The Mo:ben lunchbox means you can leave the microwave at home
OK, I know you don't tend to take a microwave with you wherever you go, but there's no denying an office that's lacking that mean machine is like an office with no computers- simply unworkable. Sure, you can work off laptops, or go to Pret for lunch, but those options aren't ever going to be…
Samsung put the Android OS on the i7500!
It's no secret in the office that I'm a huge fan of the T Mobile G1, the first phone to utilise the Android OS. It's such a lovely interface to use and were the G1 slightly more stylish I'd proudly wear it round my beck like a Japanese tourist. Well Samsung is stepping up to…
