Excellent little Christmas present this one; I mean, who wouldn't want a camera made out of Lego? I'm pretty sure I tried building one myself as a kid, but just didn't have the electrical engineering knowledge (or patience) to finish…

Gadget Ashes – are the Aussies rubbish at gadgets?

If you’re in the habit of spending upwards of $35,000 per year on ice cream then the credit crunch is probably amongst the least of your concerns. Still, if it is you could save money by making limitless quantities of delicious dairy snack with the £35,000 NitroCream machine.

"Weapon of mosquito destruction" developed
I generally wouldn’t want to cause harm to any living creatures (we found a mouse in my flat a few weeks ago, and I wanted to reason with it), but mosquitoes are very much another story. As far as I’m concerned, the little bloodsuckers are very much fair game. And for those not feeling the classic ‘rolled up newspaper’ approach, a scientist has come up with the world’s first automated mosquito laser.
