I am guessing you have read the title and gone “how is a boogie board a gadget”…….but this boogie board has nothing to do with sand, sun and surf…and is definitely a gadget! I was wandering through the airport newsagent when a display caught my eye…always a big mistake letting me loose on my own… […]

UPDATE 10/5/2016 – like many others, I lost interest in Pippit, and apparently so did the developers! In April 2015, they quietly sent out an email to all users saying that they were stopping development and support for the app because of other commitments….this is despite saying just how successful it was. So Pippit is […]

I hope by the time you read this, the missing Malaysian flight MH370 has been found with everyone safe and sound…so many theories and much speculation yet no one seems to know where on earth the plane is!

Last week, I was given an enthusiastic run down from an colleague about how they hated all these new fangled gadgets such as ipads and iphones..never worked…things always going wrong etc etc….one complaint after another…definitely no friendship with technology there!

This very clever ball contains 36 cameras, which means you get a 360 x 360 degree shot…and at a very high resolution…108 megapixels to be exact! This makes it the first consumer camera above 100 MP!

Its finally happened to me…after years of owning various phone, smart phones, laptops and ipads, today I finally did it….I dropped my beloved iphone on our concrete driveway and smashed it! Now my pride and joy has a shattered screen, and is not working quite as it should…might take more than a screen replacement to […]

Now this is a clever and innovative idea….it is a project devised by David Hakken, an engineer from the Netherlands called ‘Phonebloks” Basically, its a phone that is built on an open platform, that can be updated by replacing “bloks” ….so if one “blok” breaks or is upgraded, you can just replace that particular one.
