Shiny Review: Minoru 3D webcam

Zara's been checking out the first 3D webcam and scaring people in the office left, right and center. You get five pairs of 3D glasses with the camera, so there's been much fun had by all. Get yours here for £49.

A library on your mobile thanks to Google Book Search

You know when you're all, like, 'Man, I wish someone would go ahead and invent X already', and then lo and behold, that very same day someone goes and alerts you to X, and you're all, like, 'Woah! That's awesome!'. That's what's happened to me today. Sitting on the bus I was thinking that it…

Gmail gets multiple inbox panes

Goodness those Googlers have been busy little bees recently (mainly because they're all allowed to spend 20% of their time on these fun labs side projects). The latest labs product is Multiple Inboxes, which will create separate panes for different filters or labels. So, you can see your inbox, all messages containing the word 'pub',…

New PSP colours to hit Europe

You might want to cancel that flight to Tokyo that you booked when you found out they were going to get three new PSPs in Carnival Colours.

Bill Gates goes insane. Completely, properly, insane.

Um, internet, we has a problem. Bill Gates has lost it - he seems to be under the impression he's God. Last night, he unleashed a plague of mosquitos on an unsuspecting TED audience, screaming (I'm not actually sure he screamed. I imagine he did) "Not only poor people should experience this!". He may or…

BT launches MyPlace location based recommendations service

2009 seems set to be the year that location based services really take off, with BT adding further location fuel to the web app fire with the launch of MyPlace. This webpage will work out where you are, bear in mind your (already inputted and stored) preferences and then make recommendations on things like restaurants…

Shiny Preview: Toshiba TG01 smartphone

The Toshiba TG01 has got people pretty damn excited, with its fancy looks, its superspeedy, super efficient Snapdragon chipset, 4.1-inch touchscreen, Div-X and full Flash support, AGPS and GPS... the list goes on. The only slight detraction so far is the fact that it runs Windows Mobile 6.1, but we're willing to be convinced on…
