Real-time Twitter searches on Google results
Have a click on the image just here on the right and once it’s bigged itself up, you’ll notice it’s a Google search page with five Twitter results at the top. That’s because some clever soul over on MT-Hacks has created code for the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox which offers a degree of real-time search on Google…
R2-D2 Boom Box by Bill McMullen
If R2-D2 were a transformer, this is what his alternate state would be, possibly reaffirming his status as one of the most badass robots in the galaxy, whether it be ours or one far, far away.
It’s been suggested that this stunningly fantastic and, sadly, non-functioning ghetto blaster by artist Bill McMullen…
The HD video capturing Sony Cyber-shot HX1
We saw a hybrid from Samsung yesterday but the Sony Cyber-shot HX1 is the first bridge model I’ve seen for a while. Sitting pretty with a 3-inch tilt LCD, a 9.1-megapixel Exmor sensor and a hefty 20x zoom, it’s easy to see why frustrated compact users might look to it as the next step up.
It records full HD video footage at…
Samsung NX hybrid camera unveiled at PMA 2009
Samsung is on full camera takeover for 2009 as they come in with yet another wave of digital snappers in the shape of the NX hybrid series.
This latest concept range appears to be the tech leviathan’s take on the micro-four-thirds system and is designed to bring compact size to DSLRs, or DSLR usability to compacts, however you wish to look at it.
The NX comes with the same kind of APS-C image sensor…
World of Warcraft stein collection – for the beer of the Lich King
I’ve never quite worked out the point of a stein. I’m not often plagued by insects landing in my pint and why I should want to drink beer out of a stone mug is beyond me. But then, cover one in World of Warcraft geekery, give it an ornate handle and I’m starting to get the point of why you might want one of the Lich King special edition.
You can pick up a $89.99 Blood of the Horde or Alliance United…
AVG 8.5 anti-virus software out now
For me anti-virus is all about AVG and Avast because I hate paying for things. In fact, paying for things is one of my greatest enemies in life.
If we fight the same foe, then you’ll be pleased to hear that AVG has released the 8.5 version of its security software today as of 1pm. This latest incarnation comes in a three tiered paid version and, of course, a basic one for free.
The free version now comes with…

According to all rumour road maps that seemed to be going to plan for last year, we were supposed to be on the receiving end of some new iMacs in November and a Mac Mini by MacWorld. We got neither. However, according to two separate sites, Jobs, Schiller & Sons is planning an event for 24th March.
Even money says we’ll be seeing new iMacs…
BeBook reader updated with touchscreen and Wi-Fi
So, here am I just about to nip off for a Friday night beer to celebrate/mourn the Shiny exit of the fantastic Susi Weaser and a certain mail drops into my box about the next incarnation of the superb BeBook reader to be unveiled in Germany at CeBIT very shortly indeed.
No pictures as yet but there are two things BeBook is adding which should keep its nose out ahead of the competition. First is Wi-Fi…
SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Optoma Pico Projector
I’ve had this thing for far too long but after a fair bit of faffing around to find the right cables, I finally got a good go on the PK101 Pico projector from Optoma. So, grab yourself a cup of tea, sit back and I’ll tell you all about it…
