Cursor-shaped oven gloves – what's on the menu?
If you’re like me, or Shiny fashion editor Gemma, you spend a lot of time staring at PDFs and Abobe Reader. Who knows, maybe unlike us you actually enjoy it and you want to see the scrolling hand when you get home from work, too.

'Geek My Car' potential new TV show, with nerdtastic CD-ROM drive for car stereo leading the way
I might just marry this automobile-owner. When faced with a broken car stereo system, what did he do? He only went and popped in a CD-ROM drive from a PC, and lined it with a green kitchen sponge, to shock-proof it. Please tell me his side skirts are made from keyboards, and headlights from blue LED power button lights!…
