Brando continues to puzzle customers, with their USB-powered blender alarm clock
I’m sure that if Brando ever went into liquidation and had to sell off all their stock for CRAZY BRANDO WAREHOUSE prices, the whole internet would probably crash, due to people plugging all manner of USB gadgetry into their computers. The internets would all blow up 🙁
Take, for example, their latest gizmo, the USB Blender alarm clock. Firstly, who has their computer on their…

Another mouse for your desktop – Forus Mouse Speakers
If the R2D2 speakers were a bit too 'geek' for you, how about something a little more cute – like these Forus Mouse Speakers? Actually, they look more like Clangers than mice, which gives them an added retro cool. But…
Whack it! Whack it good! (With the Desktop Arcade Challenge, not Devo)
This USB desktop version of the ancient What It game is probably intended as a fun way to pass the time away whilst at your desk, but for me, I’m envisioning taking out my rage at pages not loading fast enough and my favourite blogs not being updated enough, BOP! BOP! BOP! TAKE THAT! POW!
I can feel the rage seeping away already. The aim of the game is dead-easy, you just have to whack the coloured ‘moles’ (or Jelly Baby heads, as I call them) on the head as they light up, with the pace of the game progressing faster and faster in either a 30 or 60 second limit. Powered…
More Star Wars geekery – R2D2 desktop speakers
Let's be honest, you can release a Star Wars-themed tooth pick or cocktail stirrer and they would shift a few units. Make something useful (and with appeal to IT professonals) like these R2D2 desktop speakers and you can safely…
Art Lebedev-designed Sonicum desktop speaker system
Let's be honest, most of the kit around your PC is built for function, not looks – but design is up there with sound quality with the Sonicum desktop speaker system. Yes, look closely and you'll notice that the Art…

Posh Prezzies bring back Prohibition-era style webcams and VoIP phones
Who doesn’t want to feel like a character in George Clooney’s Good Night and Good Luck black and white film? Grab your flapper-dress, top hat, and a couple of ’40s-style peripherals for your computer, from Posh Prezzies.
The web-cam on the left may only have 300K pixels, but gosh does it look good. £30 gives you 15 frames a…
Sony updates BWU-200S PC Blu-ray burner SHOCKER!
Yes, bit of a boring product here, obvious through it being shunted off to the left there, with the text wrapped around the image so firmly. Definitely one for the Blu-ray fanatics to ogle, whilst the rest of us can shake our heads disapprovingly, smug with our HD-DVD blankets around us.
Sony has updated their internal PC Blu-ray burner, with the BWU-200S writing up to 50GB in just 45 minutes. For the Sony fanboys who’ll buy anything with a Sony badge slapped on it, but haven’t yet made the move to the HD format, they’ll be pleased to know it also writes to standard DVD…
