Thursday, January 28th, 2010

The dust from the announcement of Apple’s iPad is still settling and, as usual, people are separating into love-it and hate-it camps with an extraordinary level of separation. Sure, there’s probably more indifference out there than there are lovers or haters, but they’re keeping quiet about it. If you’re dreaming of grasping an iPad and [...]

Taking the well-known Saitek brand to the next level, Mad Catz have finally demonstrated their embodiment of the very spirit of Saitek battleship-build gaming peripherals with the Cyborg R.A.T. series.

Norwich Apple Store Grand Opening

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

We set off at 9am expecting to see little buzz around an Apple store in our obscure corner of England, but it seems the culture, or just cult, of Apple Fandom is alive and well even in these far reaches of Norfolk. This day marks no more trips to the London based store, and no [...]

Buffalo LinkStation Live First Impressions

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Of course, most of you probably aren’t looking for excitement [...]

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

It’s stunning to think that such an obvious product isn’t already placed in every restaurant, bar or cafe in existence, replacing often hideously out of date printed menus stuffed in tatty, weathered boxes. But O’WONDER only today announced their HEYYU Video Menu Box to the UK independent restaurant and cafe trade.
