Perfect viewing for a lazy Friday afternoon skiving at work is this video Gary did by himself, locked away in his work office down in Brighton. Frustrated with the free 16MB-capacity memory card his new Canon camera came with, he recorded possibly YouTube’s most humorous…
Top 10 reasons NOT to ask for gadgets this Christmas
Pre-Christmas fever is about to get into full swing in UK high streets – this weekend, I saw my first dancing/singing Santa mannequin of the year in Argos, while several other shops are rolling out their Winter Wonderland compilation CDs already.
Nobody bothers recycling broken MP3 players
This is news that isn’t really news, as anyone with two broken phones and two broken MP3 players in a drawer, plus a carrier bag full of abandoned chargers under the stairs will know only too well.
According to an EU report put together by the United Nations University, only a quarter of “medium sized” appliances are recycled…
Top 5 Gadget Sparklers for Bonfire Night
Remember, remember the 5th of the November – that's how the saying goes. Now Guy Fawkes, there was a man who knew a thing or too about making a statement. If only he'd have done it with his gadgets though and shown off his status with some bling, rather than trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
So, as it's Firework Night today, what better way to mark it than with five top sparklers from the techno-world. Unfortunately, not all of them can be waved around in the air and they don't make pretty colours in the smoke, but with gold and crystals on them, each one definitely costs more than a penny for the guy…

Top five health-related gadgets for Lindsay Lohan now she's out of rehab. Sadly Madonna doesn't fit in a Chanel handbag…
Dear Lindsay,
If the word on the street is correct, you left rehab on the weekend after two months of detoxing and avoiding your court order of one day in jail taking care of your mind, body and soul. Now, we’ve seen how easy it is to fall off the wagon once you leave rehab (Britney Spears, Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse can surely attest to that), so it’s more important than ever to ensure you look after yourself, Lilo. That means no hard partying with Paris and Nicole, no more dangerous older men (unless you can snag Johnny Depp and pimp him to me occasionally), and please god, no more firecrotch flashes. I don’t think my stomach can cope with that anymore!
Surely you know how to use a mouse, so just click on the button below, saying ‘Continue reading’, otherwise get your assistant to do it for you, and read my top five gadgets for keeping healthy now you’re out of rehab. It’s for your own good Lindsay, and ours too – we’ve been rather enjoying reading about Britney’s downfall in the Metro newspaper every morning, and sadly there’s just not enough space for you anymore. Stop sobbing, and take a look below….
B&Q aims to save the world with their green gadgets for the home
I’ve heard on the grapevine that it’s Energy Saving Week come the 22nd of October, and B&Q has jumped onto the bandwagon for a timely ‘green gadgets’ offering to the public. We don’t normally pander to PR blitzes, but when it’s going to help save the environment, we’re only happy to oblige.
The first green gadget is the Owl Monitor, which for £49.84 (ooh, specific), will check the amount your electrical appliances are costing you, by showing on the LCD display how much energy you’re guzzling, the cost…
Indulge your bubble-wrap popping tendencies with Bandai's Mugen Puchi Puchi
Hands up who enjoys popping bubble-wrap? Oh hai, all of you? Thought so. The past-time which is only just eclipsed by folding tent rods up, and scraping burnt bits off toast over the sink has just been made into a little electronic gizmo, which lucky OCD-ridden Japanese can get from Bandai when it launches shortly.
Like a game of Russian Roulette, every 100 squeezes of the air bubbles produces a random noise like the sound of a fart, or a woman ‘moaning in ecstasy’. Fear not commuters, as if you simply must pop the electronic bubble-wrap on the train,..
