German kiddywink creates best PC mod ever – Chernobyl power plant
I like this youngster’s style, and the finished result has left me with a tongue drooling in desire, however it’s claimed he created this PC case mod due to the Chernobyl map in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Why not the real thing?
He’s only 16, so wasn’t even born when reactor 4 exploded in 1986 – but his case mod is impeccable, and even opens up to reveal the innards…
Shiny Video Review: E1235 digital camera from GE
12.1-megapixels in a slim, compact camera? Here you go – but it’s from a brand you probably don’t recognise, GE. Check out Zara’s video review, above…
Shiny Video Preview: Sony Ericsson G502 HSDPA mobile
The G502 was announced by Sony Ericsson a couple of weeks ago, but I managed to get my hands on a preview model just two days later. It’s being dubbed as the ‘most affordable HSDPA phone ever’, and should make the average consumer quite happy, with Google Maps, push email, a 2.0-megapixel camera, media player and the usual Bluetooth technology….
With 10-megapixels and Live View, Olympus' E-520 D-SLR might pique your interest
Olympus has updated its D-SLR range with the E-520, with a 10-megapixel sensor, and Live View supported on the 2.7″ LCD screen.
An inbuilt image stabiliser, Auto Focus, Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment Technology, 32 scene modes and shooting at up to 3.5 frames per second means it’s certainly an improvement on the last model in the E-500 series…
YouTube Hits: new Microsoft Zune ad, with unreleased N*E*R*D song
Our hipster brother-in-law My Chemical Toilet, you know, the one with the limp? Well, he’s just informed us of this new advert for the Microsoft Zune, which is actually a really good watch.
He made sure to remind us to let you know it’s featuring a new, unreleased song from N*E*R*D, called ‘Spazz’, but what we’re really watching for is the lovely Zune-a-licious colours.
Still think iPod ads are better?…
Vita Audio adds CD and iPod playback to their DAB radio – hey presto, it's the R4!
Flying through the airwaves and into Harrods, Selfridges, John Lewis and a few select other department stores, the R4 music system from Vita Audio combines an iPod dock, USB playback facility, DAB/FM tuner and aux inputs with, yep, a slot-loading CD drive, offering customers a stylish audio player for under £500.
Furnished in either a real wood veneer or piano lacquer (shown), it outputs 80 watts, has an integrated active subwoofer and their trademark RotoDial for easy iPod control, whether that be on the device, or detached…
Microsoft and RIM jump into bed together, offer Windows Live services for BlackBerry phones
Research In Motion has been extremely busy this balmy day, first announcing the Bold 9000 smartphone, and now a collaboration with Microsoft allowing for Windows Live services to be used on BlackBerry handsets.
Whilst BlackBerry phones have an IM service already, it’s rather limited as you can only talk with other BlackBerry owners. This new agreement between the two giants means BlackBerry users can enjoy MSN Messenger…

Comparison of RIM's BlackBerry Pearl 8110, Curve 8310 and Bold 9000 smartphones
The BlackBerry 9000 was officially announced by Research In Motion this morning, and within minutes I was on the phone to my mobile contract provider, arranging the return of the Pearl 8110 I’d just ordered. Even though the 9000 won’t be out until Summer, it’s still worth waiting for, in my opinion.
Or is it? Do you prefer the 45g-bar-of-chocolate-size of the Pearl 8110, or the BlackBerry Maps featured in the Curve 8310? Let’s take a look below the jump at the key features of the three feathers RIM has in its cap…
