Musebin looking to Twitter-ise the world of music reviews
Newly launched Musebin seems to fancy itself as a Twitter rival, targeting the music-blogging scene with its angle of one-line music reviews.
As well as the idea of a limited 140-word verbal workspace, Musebin rips-off another popular internet thing – voting. The community can give every post a Yay or Nay, ensuring that spam and nonsense is swiftly voted…
Become a renowned photography expert thanks to the Universal Photo Timer
The Universal Photo Timer definitely lives up to its universal tag. You can set it up to be triggered by motion, like the clever person who took that fancy droplet splosh photo to the left there did, by aiming the trigger sight at the area and letting it automatically take a photo when it senses movement.
Or, if you’re feeling arty AND dangerous, the thing can be set up to take photos via sound, so you may take pics of bullets going into watermelons if you’ve ever wondered what the insides of a watermelon look like. Or you can just have it take a shot when you tell it to, thanks to also having a simple wired remote…
DOUBLE WORLD RECORD: World's largest Pokemon collection AND world's most insane woman
Here’s a lady who calls herself Pikabellechu. She claims to be the Pokemon Princess, although we’re not sure Nintendo’s lawyers would agree with that.
She says she’s in possession of over 8000 Pokemon toys, which she claims is a world record on the Guinness World Records site, although the record does not appear to have been ratified by a Guinness World Records official…
The "Secret Book Camera" that operates using old fashioned 110 camera film
Here’s a fantastic Christmas present idea for any friends who still read books or work as librarians – a camera that’s disguised as a book. Disguised as an extremely unrealistic little book, but still. It’d do for someone who likes books and therefore must also like book-related items.
Incredibly, it’s a proper camera. Proper as in it uses film, like in the old days. Recording your memories to old 110 format camera film, buying a Secret Book Camera means never having to feel memory card size anxiety again.
HOW FILM CAMERAS WORK
A little window opens in the front to let the view in. The film then records…
The HTC Max 4G – the world's first 4G mobile with WiMAX technology for 70-megabit downloads
And here we are still trying to think of a reason for 3G to exist.
The HTC Max 4G is the first so-called 4G mobile, thanks to HTC’s technicians incorporating WiMAX technology inside a very similar package to its Touch HD – and therefore giving theoretical, network-permitting, mountains and trees-permitting, battery-permitting maximum download speeds of around 70Mb per second…
Pure launches its EVOKE Mio DAB & FM radio, a coloured-in update of the EVOKE-1S
The Pure EVOKE Mio comes in six “striking” colours – chilli (red?), chocolate (brown?), moss (green?), nicotine (yellow?), candy (pink?) and midnight (black?) – with the leather-esque front of each unit colour-coded so it’s as much fun to look at as listen to. Almost.
One of those colours is fictional, by the way. Can you guess which? That’s today’s FUN QUIZ! The Mio is rechargeable, apparently…
eBay Nutcase of the Week: Woman selling her own name. Winning bidder gets to call her MRS STUPID
We’d better not be too scathing of this lady’s plans, as this one’s for charity. If you’re rude about charity you go to the same part of Hell as Gary Glitter.
37-year-old Eileen De Bont, from St Asaph, Denbighshire, is putting her name up on eBay as a Children in Need stunt. The winning bidder gets to choose her name, so if David Beckham wants a bit of positive PR, he could put in a massive bid and have the poor lady renamed to VICTORIA IS LOVELY for the next year.
The kind-hearted MILF told The Telegraph “It’s all very silly but I’m deadly serious about changing it. I’ll even call myself Scunthorpe Travelodge if it’s the winning bid, so watch out Paris Hilton…
VIDEO: Energy & Efficiency, episode 8
Today’s energy saving tip is to do with the vacuum cleaner. The common ‘Hoover’ is a massive drain of electricity, regularly sucking up POUNDS AND POUNDS worth of your electricity and therefore also the very fabric of planet Earth. But! You can stop this from happening! You can vacuum AND SAVE!
Watch my exclusive video on making your own, free, energy efficient vacuum cleaner out of household equipment to learn how…
You are not allowed to steal this idea. It is MY IDEA. I’ve emailed a rough outline of the concept to Sir James Dyson, the vacuum cleaner tycoon…
BATTERY DEVELOPMENTS: Korean scientist claims eight-fold leap in power-up time
It is a bit of a shame and quite an embarrassment for mankind that batteries haven’t come on in leaps or bounds since the 1970s, with modern Duracells only being marginally better than the Duracells used to power a Big-Trak for about 35 minutes on Christmas Day, 1981.
But that might possibly be about to change – thanks to a man called Prof. Cho Jae-phil who works at the Department of Applied Chemistry at Hanyang University, in South Korea…
Apple's iPhone manages the extremely possible – overtakes Motorola's RAZR in America
The fact that Motorola’s RAZR is the best-selling mobile in America one of those inexplicable regional events that defies all logic. Americans just like it and its flimsy, feature-light charms. So much so that it’s consistently been the best-selling phone out there for the last three years.
But not any more, as recent stats have shown that Apple’s popular-with-everyone iPhone has overtaken it, shifting 6.8 million units in the last business quarter. The RAZR was pushed down to second and RIM’s Blackberry Curve came in third, followed by LG’s Rumour and enV2…
