Samsung to launch touchscreen eReader in the UK?
So, the Amazon Kindle may or may not make it over here. Quite frankly I'm getting bored of the whole will it/won't it scenario. But it turns out I'm not the only one who's fed up of playing the waiting game - so is Samsung. Joining the eBook party and bringing with it some touchscreen…
Ice invaders: Invading a drink near you
If you're anything like us and the myriad of gaming geeks out there, you probably spent a substantial amount of your youth wasting putting your parent's loose change into that two dimensional alien eliminating arcade game, Space Invaders.

Last.fm to introduce charges
The Spotify team must be rubbing their hands together like a bunch of evil geniuses after hearing the news that its key rival Last.fm has announced it will be introducing charges for its music streaming service. Could this mean a surge of new Spotify users? Now that you've closed your mouth, I can tell you…
Samsung brings back Betty Boop
It's a bit of a mystery who the target market is for Samsung's Betty Boop phone. She's a bit too sexy for the kids - just look at that sultry pose on the back cover - which brings me to my next point, do kids even know who she is? Perhaps the target demographic is…

iPhone apps assume cupcake form
There are no surprises as to what inspired this batch of tasty looking cupcakes, is there? But it sure is genius. It's my birthday soon and I don't usually opt for bday cake, but if I were to celebrate with baked goods and provide birthday treats for my well wishers, I would want us to…

We've heard from the horses mouth itself... well, not quite -it was announced at a GameStop meetup, which Engadget then reported on, that Nintendo's DSiWare app store is going to include downloadable Gameboy and Gameboy Advance titles, injecting a bit of retro gaming into a modern machine. If this is true - how frickin' great…
Undo email faux pas with Gmail's 'undo send' button
Ever sent an email and then thought to yourself "shit, I really shouldn't have said that", or "shit, I really should have read that properly before I hit send" (I did it 20 minutes ago - oops)? Regretful emails are bad, and I'm not trying to be cool by implementing street slang into my post…
