Searching for music? Just hum it
That woman there is Dr Sandra (copy and paste) Uitdenbogerd. Dr Uitde… Sandra is working on an audio-based search engine, that can identify music simply by you humming a bit of the tune.
In progress for ten years, Dr Uitde… Sandra’s work is nearing completion, although she reckons it’ll still be three to four years before you’re able to phone a premium-rate number and be told the song you’ve just hummed was Deeply Dippy by Right Said Fred…

Perfect. I will probably be watching this video thirteen times a day on average. Well, at least until someone creates a parody of Depeche Mode’s…
New London skyscraper dubbed 'The Walkie Talkie', but we think 'Nokia 6230' more apt
The skyscraper which has been threatening to be plonked upon our modern East-End London scenery has just been approved by the City of London, and it’s already been given an ‘affectionate’ nickname – ‘the Walkie Talkie’, by the skyscraper-equivalent of a Trainspotter, SkyscraperNews.com.

LG Prada KE850 touch-screen mobile phone to be revamped and lose Prada logo?
Back in March this year I flew to Milan with LG to celebrate the launch of the LG Prada KE850 touch-screen mobile, and whilst chatting to a head honcho from the company, he let it slip that they were considering revamping the handset and even dropping the Prada affiliation, even before the launch of the first model.
Not particularly shocking, as I’m sure there’s plenty of gadget-loving fiends out there who lust after the KE850’s smooth curves and complete touch-screen experience, but don’t want to risk being mocked by their jeans-n-jumper wearing unfashionista friends…
