HP TouchSmart tx2 takes a swipe towards multi-touch
HP has released their latest notebook, branding it "the first multi-touch enabled consumer notebook". What's that mean? Well, it lets you perform all sorts of functions with those things on the end of your arms, on the super touchable screen. Photo cropping and rotating can be done using just your fingers, and 'capacitive input' distinguishes…
Shiny Preview: The new Prada and the Link
Last night I got the champagne treatment at the unveiling of the latest LG and Prada collaboration - the Prada and Link Bluetooth watch. It steals its name from its predecessor (which may cause confusion at first), but the Prada phone is so stylish we can let that go. And the inclusion of the Link…

Swarovski's Spring range of phone charms are distinctly edible
I'm a bit of a sucker for sparkly items, and I'm really tempted by the Spring/Summer line of Swarovski phone charms. OK, I've never willingly owned a phone charm in my life, but did I mention there's a miniature radish up for grabs? Add to that an adorable ice cream and a buzzing bee amongst…
Mario-esque vibrating stool

Which explains why this woman is looking so amused - she clearly started over one side of the room and has been vibrated across the wooden floor to her current position. Sadly, what she hasn't realised is that there's an open…
Super Obama World: The best virtual Obama gameage yet
On my web travels today, I came across an Obama adaptation of Super Mario World - Super Obama World. Think Super Mario World but with political themes and real (by real I mean satirical) bad guys like robbers with loot bags, lipstick wearing pit bulls, farm yard pigs (I thought the lipstick went on the…
Brand new Xbox Experience coming tomorrow
Xboxers are getting a mandatory software update tomorrow, and whilst normally these aren't much to shout about, the Xbox Experience promises much to make you fall in love all over again. First up it's slicker, and a lot easier to navigate - for instance, you can now browse the HD downloadable content in Windows Media-type…
Prada and LG have done it again but this time there's a Link
Fashion and technology have collaborated once again to bring you an "Exclusive form of sophistication and style in contemporary mobility" - in other words it's the successor to the Prada phone by LG (that we told you about a while back). The only difference is it comes with a Prada Link accessory watch. The Link…
Having a party but can't be bothered to concoct a playlist? Read on…
You're having a party, everything's sorted - your dress (which is fabulous by the way), finger food, guests, copious amounts of booze, decorations and then it clicks - "oh s**t, the music". You were so wrapped up with finding the perfect dress, with the perfect shoes and accessories to make your ex-boyfriend see green, you…
