The Register reports that Apple is considering expanding the iPhone range; not with radically differentiated hardware, but by varying the software features included with various models. Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner, speaking exclusively to Register reporter James Sherwood, recently met with Apple executives in which several hints about future iPhones were dropped. Apple staff are notoriously [...]

Bang & Olufsen Launches the BeoVision 4 103″ Television Online – Marc Shows You Its Massive Tubes
Bang & Olufsen, the Danish purveyors of massively expensive audio-visual equipment, previewed the ginormous 103″ BeoVision 4-103 to selected journalists earlier this year, via private webcast events. Messrs. Bang and Olufsen have finally consented to allowing the hoi polloi to marvel over their massive baby.
Review: Memopal Online Backup and Storage
I reviewed Diino last week and while I thought that it had potential, I couldn’t really recommend using it as a primary online backup solution. I was trying out two other services at the same time, so here’s Part II of the trilogy. Memopal is a year-old start up based in Italy, providing online backup [...]
Celery – Grampa Is Rotflmaowtfbbqcoptor
Celery, the service that lets the less technologically-inclined population (their website really screams ‘old people’) send and receive emails via fax, has introduced support for Facebook updates. And from June, Twittering by fax will become a reality. Okay, I think that emails by fax is a great idea – from personal experience, iPhones rock for [...]
Review: Philips Norelco arcitec 1090 Electric Shaver
Wet or dry? That’s the question men have faced since the invention of the electric shaver. For years, I used Braun electric shavers, but they weren’t waterproof and I got tired of buying refills for the cleaning base, so I switched to the vibrating Gillettes a year ago. They’re good, reliable shavers – but they’re [...]
Invisibility On a Dime
Pfftt.. so scientists have made a tiny bit of progress in developing invisibility cloaks made from high-tech materials. Big deal… Sara Watson made an entire car disappear, using just some paint. And she did it in just three weeks, to boot! Granted, it’s just an optical illusion, but an amazingly cool one, nonetheless. Does anyone [...]
Review: Diino Online Backup and Storage
Over a year ago, whilst working feverishly on an overdue college paper, I spilled a large glass of water over my laptop. Cue panic attack as the MacBook Pro sizzled. I had a backup of that document on my Fujitsu tablet, but it was several days old, and so was the previous SuperDuper backup of [...]
Sleeptracker Elite – Wake up time for sleepyheads
I’ve had a Sleeptracker Pro for about a year, and while it works mostly as advertised, it’s seriously chunky and the software doesn’t work on a Mac. Innovative Sleep Solutions, the maker of the Sleeptracker watches, has addressed these issues with the introduction of the Sleeptracker Elite series of watches, and Mac-compatible software.
Facebook Users Get Lower Grades
Researchers from Ohio State University have found that Facebook users, in general, receive lower grades in college than non-users. Their research, to be presented today to the American Education Research Association, is by no means definitive – Facebook usage was a common factor, but not the only one. This probably comes as no surprise to [...]
Review: Lifetrons Multi-Functional Charger
It’s hard to travel light when you’re a gadget lover. You can’t bear to leave your toys behind, so you bring ‘em all… Or at least I do. And then there’re the required accessories – sync cables, spare batteries, chargers, and international plug adaptors. Add everything up, and you end up with… A lot of [...]
Rushfaster.com.au Bag Sale
If you’re in the market for a new laptop bag, camera case or designer iPod/iPhone accessory, Rushfaster’s offering a storewide 20% discount, ending Tuesday 14th April. Their prices are usually lower than Amazon, and comparable to eBags, but what I like about them is their range – it’s not the largest, but they have some [...]

Built on the new Tap Tap Revenge 2 (TTR2) engine, the Coldplay edition offers several new features, including an in-game feed of Coldplay news and a unique look inspired by the band.
New Flip Mino Designs and Free Accessories on Amazon
Customizable Flip Minos have been available for a while now, but if you want one that’s been professionally designed, Amazon and CafePress have just introduced several new designs by ‘talented artists and well-known designers’. Through April 19, you’ll get two free accessories of your choice with the purchase of a MinoHD, and one free accessory [...]
ThinkFree Office Live: Now with Uni Paper
Back in the day, before the introduction of Google Docs, ThinkFree Office was the only really usable online office suite. ThinkFree is still one of the more fully-featured offerings out there, but all that robustness comes at a price. While Google Docs and Zoho are entirely browser based and take seconds to load, the ThinkFree [...]
