When I heard that Sony was going to remove PS2 backwards compatibility on future Playstation 3 units, I decided that I was going to track down a unit that still had the Emotion Engine installed on it. I still have some PS2 games that I want to play and I wanted the option to play [...]

Food and IT go hand in hand. If you manage to combine both in to one item you’re on the right path. I had to grin when I saw this s’mores keyboard. Sadly there is no indication of any functionality or if it really is made out of food or just plastic. Seems like we’ll [...]

British satellite broadcaster Sky is ready to welcome Australian friends to the UK with the introduction of an upside-down remote control.

Ahh, I’ve never grown tired of the notion that everyone who lives in Australia stands on their head because it’s on the other side of the world from Britain (not exactly, of course).

I’m embarrassed as I compare the bulky, oblong speakers sitting on my desk with these lovely round and compact ones from Orb Audio.
The Mod1 satellite speakers are just four inches in diameter and made from high carbon steel. There’s a lot of sound technology in there, too, including rare earth magnets, Santoprene, Nomex and CCAD [...]

Why not? Everything in black looks good. Take a look at the PlayStation. It is not by accident that the default consoles have always been black. I have to admit, white does have its appeal. Then again, it doesn’t look as bad a** as black.
Anyhow, the ubiquitous white Wii now [...]

It’s OK, I think I can guess what you’re thinking, because laptop cooling products are hardly the most exciting gadgets ever invented. Even that picture is boring…
Exciting: maybe not. Essential: definitely.
Enter the TDD-9000 liquid cooling pad from Nexus Technology. It’s a soft velvet blanket filled with a patented gel-like liquid that has been designed to [...]

It’s impossible to run out of things to try and build from LEGO. In this case, Bjarne Tveskovs built a scale model of his beloved Apple iMac G4 from LEGO and a seven inch photoframe that can show photos, play movies and display TV pictures.
He says that there’s no actual Apple hardware inside the iMac [...]

Does Kenwood make washing machines, because when I first saw these speakers that’s what I thought they were modelled on.
These are glass speakers with white and blue LEDs, and they can even be supplied with some stands that also have lights built in.
Trouble is, they cost close to $1,000 and yet they only offer 10W [...]

Digital photo frames aren’t a new idea any more, but here’s an idea that’s a little different.
Say you’ve got a load of printed photographs that you’ve never scanned in to your computer. Get hold of the Memoir FS80 frame which has a built in scanner.
Yeah, I know most people’s photos now exist almost exclusively in [...]

I’ve been passing by the Sony outlet store at Prime Outlets for several times now because I saw a lot of items below standard retail rates, discounts of about 15% or more! I held on my Benjamins tightly because I knew something worthwhile would be available this spring… well, it seems like a good [...]

Last year, Tonium caused quite a stir with its Pacemaker portable digital music DJing system, particularly as it was initially quite difficult to get hold of it.
Well, now it’s 2009 and the second generation Pacemaker is less than a month away.
This one will contain a 60GB hard drive for music storage, plus a range of [...]

If you’re serious about gaming then you’ll be wanting to get the best hardware to go with the latest games for your PC or console, and the VisionRacer VR3 could be just what you need for the ultimate driving and racing experience.
VRI Technology built in Logitech’s force feedback wheels and pedals to the smart seat [...]

We have reported before on the Asus eee Keyboard PC, with wireless HDMI and touchpad. The guys from UMPC Portal have now released a video. The video reinforces first impression and this could very well be the first of the computer of the future. Control everything multimedia in your house via your wireless keyboard PC.

strong>Samsung hopes to excite with its latest N310 mini notebook PC, making a big issue out of the fact that it has sophisticated styling from leading international designer Naoto Fukasawa.
Great, so what does that mean practically? This lightweight 10.1-inch machine has a frameless, scratch-proof LED screen and pebble design keyboard. Not only that, but the [...]

If you’re anything like me when the alarm clock rings you’d probably hit the snooze button too many times. I remember hitting it at 6am, then 6:10 and finally… 8:30am! The horror of quickly racing through the morning rush just to make it to work on time.
Now I’m not too sure [...]

Oh those cute little pop cans! Every geek’s “sin drink”, a must-have for those times when you’ve got to pour in more hours awake and alert lest you run the risk of misusing code and BAM(!)… a catastrophe happens. Err… ok, back to the pop cans.
