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…

The Airswitch light from Mathmos laughs at touch and clap technology

Not so long ago a house that came with touch sensitive lights was dubbed the epitome of cool by my friends. Look- no switches! A simple touch could dim the light, and provide you with around ten minutes of novelty fun. Well this tech could take s serious backseat to the gesture sensitive lights from…

Friday Wednesday video fun: Wuthering Frights

The typical karaoke voice is never the acutely tuned or refined singing voice, is it? Why is it that the most enthusiastic karaoke singers are 99 percent of the time the worst singers? But I suppose that is the essence of karaoke - amateur singers performing popular songs for LOLs. This is a classic example…

The SKY's the limit for 3DTV: First UK live broadcast last night!

3DTV was big news at CES 2009, but since the initial furore and the many,many promises we heard, their hasn't been anything new in that area recently.

Say hello to the Demy: A glorified recipe reader

What do they say the perfect woman should be? A maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a **** in the bedroom. Sounds like a great deal we have going there... Then again, if you add the Demy to the mix, it might make our job slightly easier. But what is…

The OfficePOD takes working from home to a whole new level

I'm lucky enough that when there are transport issues/ I have an evil hangover I have a job that means I'm able to work from home. There's something uber special about working in your PJ's with your laptop on your knees, but were I to invest in an OfficePOD I might have to don a…

Amusement magazine is an RFID marvel

When is a magazine not a magazine? When it's trying to be part website, part DVD and contains an RFID chip to hook you straight up to dedicated Internet sites (with use of a violet mir:ror) It's a strange idea but it does have a couple of great concepts built in. How many times do…
