BBC One and Two to be streamed for computer-telly
So this is a little weird: the Big British Castle has decided to stream both BBC One and BBC Two live, over the internet. This is apparently a reaction to the success of the iPlayer. And I suppose it'll be really useful, when you're... in a hotel with no TV? Would like to be tied…
A Christmas decoration with added RAWWWK
This is the best Christmas tree ornament EVER. Forget balls and baubles and even the star - no one will even give those inferior ornaments a second glance when this mini electric guitar's hanging from the ends of your holiday tree. They'll be too busy appreciating your Electric Guitar Christmas ornament and trying to keep…
Shiny Gallery: World of Warcraft T-shirts for the fans
As all hardcore World of Warcraft gamers will know, the long awaited expansion - Wrath of the Lich King - launched into the gaming world almost a week ago. What am I talking about? Of course you knew. You're one of the dedicated fanboys who queued up for it in the wee hours of the…
Guess which badly dressed celeb is showing off his Blackberry Bold?
Who's this colourful fashion victim (someone call the fashion po po) looking like he's just been vomited up by the 80's? And is that a Spiderman hat I see? Going on past precedent, it's safe to say this person's fashion choices are really out there, so I'm not really surprised to see him in such…

R2D2's new guise: Fishtank
Is there no end to R2D2 paraphernalia? This probably marks the 100th time R2D2 has been transformed into something gadgety - I lost count after the projecting alarm clock, mini fridge, USB hub and webcam. While R2D2 transformations usually fare well in my books, this robotic aquarium falls into the tacky and tasteless category for…
Wispa calls on die hard fans for the love of Wispa TV ad
Wispa bars are so unbelievably yummy, I didn't even think twice about the repercussions I'd face for stealing the Wispa bar my sister was saving when we were younger. And I'd do it again - I just can't get enough of its melt in your mouth chocolate-y goodness. Needless to say when Wispa ceased production…
Combat SAD with the Philips Wake-Up Light
The drastic weather change hasn't gone unnoticed, and while some of us are happy to swap our gladiator sandals for Ugg boots, there are some who don't take to weather change very well. These people are just SAD. No I'm not mocking them for being affected by the shitty British weather, I'm highlighting that these…
The Chugulug Drinks factory brings drinking games to a whole new level
