It was widely reported in the blogosphere that Samsung would be releasing a really heavy, really big, non-Atom Samsung NC20 netbook next month. It calls itself a netbook, but given its 12.1-inch display and 1.5kg bodyweight, this is an extremely dubious claim. Adding to this rather questionable assertion is the fact it'll run off a…

Remember last week, when we asked you if you'd consider dumping ten of your facebook pals just for a free BK Whopper (times are hard ok?)? If you're nodding profusely and can hold your hand up high to culling more than a few unwanted FB friends, I'd put a hold on all that excitement. Despite…

He's cool, he's down with the kids, he's a firm Apple aficionado (or was that Zune?) and even online games have been crafted with the President-elect as the main attraction. He is quite possibly going to be the coolest President to have graced the White House...EVER. As every President knows, the Presidential portrait is an…

Now here's a name you don't hear very often - MCH Media. But it's not a name to be ignored. I know how easy it is to sweep less well-known brands under the carpet, in favour of media players that feature the words 'iPod', 'Walkman' or 'Zune' in them. But the CS-one Media Box Touch…

Never before has one man had such a profound effect on the technology industry. But Steve Jobs is about to deal another blow by taking a "medical leave of absence" from the company "until the end of June". He wants everyone to know it's just a temporary thing, so hopefully there won't be too much…

Your parents always said minor drug use would eventually lead to the hard stuff, and apparently they were right. But I'm not talking about narcotics in the traditional sense - you know, the kind that involves a dealer and parting with a lot of money. I'm talking about computer games, and in this case, Halo…

Well done to everyone who braved the bitterly freeeeezing cold weather conditions last week as the UK decided to quite literally freeze over. Didn't it give the impression that if you were to step foot outside you would freeze over almost instantly? One of the uncomfortable side effects of sub-zero weather is frostbitten nips. This…

Some people just can't let things lie. Just when you thought Strictly Come Dancing was all over and you were safe till the next season, Q4 Technology comes out with some clever robot programming software, allowing you to instruct your WowWee robot (up to 11 different models) to accomplish moves Arlene Phillips would be proud…

When you think rechargeable batteries, the word urine doesn't spring to mind, and why should it? Batteries and urine aren't two things closely associated with each other - unless you're really into peeing on power sources, in which case you probably smell like the entrance of a tube station and have unsanitary gadgetry. It doesn't…
