UPDATE: Final weeks for this.. wing answers along to our email address: [email protected][09/03/10] It has to be said that not everyone 'gets' computers. So it's a good job those more 'IT literate' people are around to help their friends and family with home IT issues! You see, they have to put up with a lot…
The 10 free apps every Mac should have
I can't remember the last time I paid for an application or program -- disregarding mobile apps. Think about it, when did you last pay for native application? Let's ignore games too, because they don't really count. What was it? Mine was iLife '09, which comes as a free suite on all new Macs anyway,…

Ten Weird Facebook Groups about Animals
I'd say 50% of all Facebook groups are weird, so this is just a small taster of What's Out There. I've decided to look at weird groups and fan pages related to animals - just to narrow it down. You always think Facebook is just you and your friends because that's all you see, but…
Apple's Creative Apps: a collection of iPhone apps
Apple have put together a palette of creative editing apps for people interested in design or visuals. The apps aren't new, they've just laid them out helpfully on a page in iTunes.

Move over Slankets, meet the Sealpelt – the hot sofawear of 2010
Deep breath. You've just seen officially the best sofa-wear EVER, I'm not even interested in Slankets anymore. Called Sealpelts, made out of Icelandic wool and roughly the shape of a floppy baby-gro with a hood these are stitched in beautiful geometric patterns that somehow reference both new rave and traditional Nordic knitting at the same…
High-Impact alarm clock Doro HearPlus shakes pillow as well as beeping the hell out of you
If it takes more than wailing sirens to get you out of bed, maybe you should investigate the Doro HearPlus 333cl + Pillow Shaker. Pop the sturdy cuboid clock under your pillow, set its vibrate mode on, and as well as pumping out decibels and flashing a light it will start buzzing and sending vibrations…
App review: Digg for iPhone
Ah Digg, its fortunes may have waned a bit recently, but it's still the go-to place for freakin' great pictures of dogs sitting on top of other dogs. Now those pictures of dogs sitting on top of other dogs are available more easily on your mobile phone because Digg has just introduced an iPhone app.…
Yes the iPhone touchscreen is the best, by far
That iPhone touchscreen was what got me the first time I used it, and it's not just a hunch that Apple's touchscreen is better than other devices, it has just been proved. By a robot. We're not saying it's a better phone - there are lots of different criteria for that, but we're just saying…
Samsung's Galaxy smartphone runs Android, looks good
We mentioned Samsung's new Android handset yesterday, but thought the Galaxy S deserved a bit more space to itself. Key features off the beat: large bright AMOLED screen, 4 inches across. The phone also has a powerful 1 GHz processor. Specs are sketchy but other features they point up: "vibrant HD videos, rich augmented reality…
