Make a call on a cup all day long you'll have good luck
Ok, I can't promise you good luck, but there is definitely 100 percent truth in the first part. Take a cheap fast food cup, stick in a telephone wire, a keypad and the ability to make calls, and what do you get? An absolutely awful and ridiculously designed telephone concept ever, that's what. If you…
Defunct records have been given a new lease of life
Ahh vinyl - the forgotten format that once use to rule the dance floor and the DJ box. Much like the video/DVD transition, there are some who just couldn't let the past go and move into a new era and the same can be said for records. But if you have moved on to greater,…
The Asus S101 gets the pink paint job
It's as if a gadget is not a real gadget until it's received a pink makeover - whether it's Barbie pink, cerise, baby pink cherry and all the other variations. And if the pink make over, real gadget thing isn't an urban myth, the Asus S101 has just received its official 'real gadget' stamp. The…
Would you tweet your plane crash?
Your plane has just slid off the runway during take-off, one of the engines catches fire, your heart's beating at one hundred miles per hour and your life is almost certainly flashing before your eyes. So what do you do? Tweet it all? I can't imagine Twitter being my first train after thought after "oh…
Sony has something up its sleeve for its Vaio range in the New Year
Word on the web is, come January 2009, a revolutionary and jaw dropping Sony Vaio laptop is going to be unleashed into the world of the portable computer. There is even a dedicated website with a countdown clock and the words "On the 9th of January you will change the way you look at laptops…
Yay! Hello Kitty competition ends, winners announced – it's all very exciting
Today is a great day I tell you. Why? Because the HK competition is over (remember - those five Hello games up for grabs?) *fanfare*. And I learned a valuable lesson - do not, under any circumstances provide a competition question that requires people to get their creative and comical hats on. Let's just say,…
Shiny Review: LG KC780
Dan gets hands on with LG's other 8 megapixel snapper - the KC780. LG describes it as a "slim 8 megapixel slider" camera phone - Dan's not so sure about the slim part of that claim (the words 'clunky' and 'basic' are used). So, as you'll see in a mo, Dan isn't entirely won over…
New ThinkPad W700ds set to impress with slide-out LCD screen
Internally, the ThinkPad W700ds has got nothing to shout about, as the specs are pretty standard - quad-core 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 processors, up to 8GB RAM, 17-inch screen, 320GB hard drive, an Nvidia Quadro 3700M graphics card and a dual-layer Blu-Ray drive. Externally however, this thing is nothing short of impressive and momentously…
The Android G2's a' coming – or so we hear
The G1 dust hasn't even settled yet and those Android G2 rumours are doing the rounds again. The T-Mobile G2, as the device will reportedly be called, is expected to trump the G1 in the specs department, and I should think so too. A five megapixel camera, memory card slot, VGA camera for video calling…
