Vodafone starts flogging a 7.2Mbps USB modem for wireless internet roaming
Not the prettiest picture we’ve ever had on an article, but wait until you hear what that boring white box is capable of.
We’re all in agreement that USB modems are nifty inventions, and I’m sure many of us couldn’t live without their roaming internet abilities. Vodafone are touting this new modem as being 22 times faster than…
EMI to sell entire Radiohead back-catalogue on bear-shaped USB stick
So, hang on. Radiohead have seen out their contract with their label (Parlophone – part of EMI), and struck out on their own with the innovative digital release of new album ‘In Rainbows’. But now EMI’s launched a website called Radiohead Store, to sell special versions of the band’s seven albums from when they were under contract. Cheeky.
Top 5 Gadget Sparklers for Bonfire Night
Remember, remember the 5th of the November – that's how the saying goes. Now Guy Fawkes, there was a man who knew a thing or too about making a statement. If only he'd have done it with his gadgets though and shown off his status with some bling, rather than trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
So, as it's Firework Night today, what better way to mark it than with five top sparklers from the techno-world. Unfortunately, not all of them can be waved around in the air and they don't make pretty colours in the smoke, but with gold and crystals on them, each one definitely costs more than a penny for the guy…
LG aims for the girls with the 'Shining Stone UP3 S2' USB MP3 player
LG has continued its assault on the iMarket, by launching a ‘concept’ MP3 player, the ‘Shining Stone UP3 S2’. Hmm, I wonder what gender they’re targeting with a name like that?
Available in black diamond, crystal silver, ruby red, pink topaz and sapphire blue, they have inbuilt flash memory capacities of either 1GB, 2GB and 4GB, and supports a whole host of formats, including MP3, WMA, OGG, and ASF. A couple of features they have over the iPod Nano are the ability…
Brando continues to puzzle customers, with their USB-powered blender alarm clock
I’m sure that if Brando ever went into liquidation and had to sell off all their stock for CRAZY BRANDO WAREHOUSE prices, the whole internet would probably crash, due to people plugging all manner of USB gadgetry into their computers. The internets would all blow up 🙁
Take, for example, their latest gizmo, the USB Blender alarm clock. Firstly, who has their computer on their…
Samson's G-Track features the first USB condenser microphone, perfect for X Factor hopefuls

Whack it! Whack it good! (With the Desktop Arcade Challenge, not Devo)
This USB desktop version of the ancient What It game is probably intended as a fun way to pass the time away whilst at your desk, but for me, I’m envisioning taking out my rage at pages not loading fast enough and my favourite blogs not being updated enough, BOP! BOP! BOP! TAKE THAT! POW!
I can feel the rage seeping away already. The aim of the game is dead-easy, you just have to whack the coloured ‘moles’ (or Jelly Baby heads, as I call them) on the head as they light up, with the pace of the game progressing faster and faster in either a 30 or 60 second limit. Powered…
