Shiny Review: Sanyo Xacti 2000HD camcorder

This is the latest in the Xacti range, and Dan's pretty impressed. The idea is that it's a dual camcorder and stills camera - there's heaps of stills camera features that make it a decent piece of photography equipment and the 1080p video capture keeps it in top end of camcorders. Sanyo

The day the Google died

If you were online over the weekend, you might have been aware that Google ran into some fairly serious issues, incorrectly identifying ever site on the internet as harmful to your computer. No search results originating from a Google search were accessible, with the same going for Google's own sites, such as their blog, or…

Shiny Preview: Philips Cinema 21:9

I maintain that when it comes to televisions, you don't know what you're missing until someone points it out to you. I feel a bit like that with the new Philips 21:9 - I was perfectly happy watching my movies with black bars at the top and bottom, but after seeing them fill the screen…

Jeeves and Wooster in handy lamp format

With the insane popularity of Stephen Fry on the internet, it's surely time that Jeeves and Wooster saw a revival. These hats are in fact called Jeeves (the bowler hat) and Wooster (the top hat) so perhaps it could start there. I'm not entirely sold on which room these would be most appropriate for, but…

Philippe Starck Parrot speakers – tights sadly not included

How cool are these girl's tights? I know, right! If she likes these speakers, then I think I will like these speakers. And whatever she's listening to, that's what I want to listen to. And whatever she's done to be able to afford these £1200 wireless speakers by Parrot, I want to do that too.…

Nothing says geek scenester like a Nerd Merit Badge

The problem with being a grown-up is that there aren't enough opportunities for people to validate you and your choices. No one ever gives you a certificate for getting up in time to get the early train, for making sure your drunken friend got home OK or for not stamping on the foot of the…

Orange launches the first PAYG Blackberry deal

Or, it's like the new indigo Blackberry Pearl, now available on a PAYG contract - the first of its Blackberry kind. The pay as you go deal will see you shelling out £145 initially, with £5 a…

Shiny Review: Improving your Apple experience

I've become somewhat of an Apple zealot in the past couple of months, but even I recognise that those products aren't perfect. I've run down the stuff that I've been investing in to make the Ultimate iLife, but if you've got something you can't live without, let us know in the comments below. Etymotic hf2…
