LG on the 3D Laptop Bandwagon
3D is now obviously what every major tech gadget producer is aiming at with everything now coming in 3D. As a user I’m still not totally convinced but I’ve only watched the odd football match in 3D and not got my eyes on a decent 3D movie or game yet. LG recently launched the LG R590 3D laptop in Korea and it’s expected to hit our shores [...]
Teaching kids electronics using wooden blocks
My friend Paul Marlier has a pretty fun gig at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. His job as a workshop specialist is to come up with new ways to teach science to children (and their parents!). Recently, he took a few minutes to explain his latest prototype, which is a set of wooden blocks with electronics on them that museum visitors can [...]

We’ve talked about a few cameras and camcorders recently hoping to get some of our readers more interested in the visual technology beyond what a mobile phone can do, but with so many models and bands out there like anything it’s hard to pick the right one.

Sony Cyber-Shot WX5 and TX9
3D is the rage, clearly. We touched a month or so back about the fantastic NEX-3 and NEX-5 micro four thirds(the mini SLR type) cameras from Sony that had the ability to take 3D panoramic shots which you can view provided you have the necessary TV capability and a pair of “Joe 90” looking glasses. Well now Sony have announced these two compact [...]
Mamiya RZ33 – 33MP Camera yes 33MP!
Digital Cameras have come a long way in recent years and their popularity has only got bigger too, probably due to the love of social networking and the fact you’ll struggle to find people who don’t own a computer to save all your images too. Also SLRs seem to be used more by amateur photographers rather than just the pros. Sadly this [...]
Lenovo 3D Laptop

A lot of laptops we’ve seen recently are trying to be as “portable” as possible whether that being the thinnest, the smallest or the less weighty but usually when you steer down that path the goods that are produced are very limited. Samsung has recently issued the Q series laptop. Its not looking for the worlds thinnest laptop title nor are [...]
iRiver T8 Music Dongle
iRiver has been a leader in the mp3 player market since they first began and always stood out from Apple and Creative by having a slightly better imagination department when it came to looks. The new T8 seems to buck the trend however and iRiver are obviously looking at a simplistic player to offer the market with a basic USB dongle shaped [...]
