Recently a couple of my close friends got themselves a brand new iPod each, a 160gb Video and an 8gb Valentines Day pink Nano. Two new iPod speaker docks emerged a couple of weeks later, a JBL top of the range model and a cheap and cheerful model from HMV.
The majority of the time I [...]
Just before Christmas my Dad and I popped into PC World in Salisbury for him to show me the Asus EeePC. It took us a while to locate it as they were hidden away out of sight and employees didn’t even seem to realize the device in the box was a laptop! Anyway my dad [...]
Just been having a look on hackaday.com and came across this rather interesting scooter/skateboard. It’s basically a skateboard style piece of transport with one central mounted wheel. The device works in a similar way to the Segway, basically through gyroscopic balancing.

“We are in discussion with a number of retailers, but particularly when it comes to the mobile networks, they find it hard to see [...]
I’ve been using Firefox for about a year now after becoming so fed up with Internet Explorer getting so clogged up with unwanted embedded items (If your having similar problems and want to continue with IE you might want to try running HijackThis) Anyway, since the release of Firefox 2.0 the Extensions & Add-ons [...]
I was just looking over my RSS feeds today and came across The Xbox 360 Elite on Engadget, which is apparently yet another new console. I’m lucky enough to live with someone who has been able to afford all the next generation consoles but recently replaced the Xbox 360 with the PS3. We were all [...]
