Armin Van Buuren enters the Wii world with 'In the Mix'

I have a rather soft spot for Armin Van Buuren which comes of spending an evening with him at The Cross, and then beating him at Connect 4 all night. I'm pleased to announce that he's now making a foray into the gaming world with the launch of his new game,'In the mix'. The player…

Get cheaper currency with the FairFX card

Every time I travel I always seem to spend more than I plan. And why is this? It's not because I go seriously crazy in Marc Jacobs USA (well, not that crazy), it's because every time I withdraw cash I get charged a withdrawal fee; and extra money gets taken because they're translating the currency…

Stay cool, but be uncool with the solar hat fan

Yes, seriously. OK, the Australian looking child and matching hat aren't included, but $10 will get you a clip on solar fan that can be attached to your favourite baseball cap/trilby/turban.

You don't tend to think big black and bulky but that's just what you get with Jabra;'s latest Bluetooth headset. It's not all bad news though, as despite the lack of singing cherubs the set…

The Kindle DX takes eBooks to a 9.7inch level

I'm a huge fan of eBooks as they're an easy way to transport a huge library around with you, but should you be trying to view a newspaper of textbook, the screen size tends to be distinctly lacking. Sure you could get the iRex Digital Reader, but you want he whole functionality of the kindle,…

Geek Chic of the Week: Star Trek Phaser

Perhaps it's the fact that I'm going to see Star Trek tonight, but I find myself very drawn to related gadgets today.
