Friday Video Fun: Ker-azy little dancing kid
Let this young man inspire your weekend. Let his crazy hair and his complete disregard for having any knowledge of the lyrics spur you on to spend your Saturday night in front of your webcam, a little worse for wear, miming to your very own American Idol hits. I'd recommend you skip to 1.30 if…
LG launches its latest 3G netbook
There's something slightly Fisher Price about LG's latest laptop, although despite the choice of lime green or pink trim, it is apparently aimed at those of legal drinking age. Specs-wise it's not too shabby, featuring integrated 3G connectivity befitting a laptop made my a company with a mobile heritage, as well as an 160GB hard…
XBox Live hackers for hire
XBox Live players: play fair. Don't you remember what you were taught at school? If someone beats you fair and square, it's considered bad form to then hire a hacker to attack your opponent and get them kicked off the system. It's also a sure sign you need to take a walk and get a…
Asus killing off the 9-inch Eee PC
What a difference a year makes. Whilst Asus broke the mould with the first nine-inch netbook, which had everyone clamouring to get lighter, smaller, cheaper, plasticky-er, the time has apparently come to lay that particular trendsetter to rest. From now on, they'll only offer the 10-inch model, which apparently was making up 95% of their…

Shiny Preview: Canon's new Powershot range
Whilst I was drooling over the gold IXUS, Dan was getting all hands-on with the new Powershot range. There's dizzy highs and crushing lows, from the impressive zoom to the irritating poppy uppy flash thing, to some wonderful rock-climbing specific features. Handy. Check it out below.

Retro classic Scandiphone
Landlines are now generally acknowledged to only be useful to parents, and that now quite annoying couple in the BT adverts (Will they? Won't they? Ah, the modern and yet still incredibly dull family dramas). Having said that, the Scandiphone makes me almost tempted to tether myself to a phone socket. Originally popular in the…
Jewel Rose flash drive. Just yuck.
I suspect these crystal rose USB necklaces are the result of Argos' favourite jeweller, Elizabeth Duke, bumping into Mr Brando somewhere in a hotel bar, where they spent the night hammering sambuca, before stumbling off into the night vowing that they would be friends forever. If Destroyed Still True (for those not familiar with IDST,…
Shiny Preview: Canon's new IXUS camera line-up
I took time out from watching clips of monkeys on YouTube yesterday to pop down to the Canon launch to have my make-up done check out the new Canon IXUS range. And praise be! There were colours! And some other camera specs for those not totally taken in by a pretty gold paint job. Canon…
Nintendo DSi set for April 3rd UK launch date
April 3rd is an auspicious date. In 1973, the first cell phone call was made from New York. In 2000, the courts ruled against Microsoft in the United States v Microsoft antitrust case. And in 2009, the UK will see the launch of the much anticipated Nintendo DSi. (more…)
