True Blue, The Aussie Prime Minister Has Written a Mini-Review of Google Glass For Gizmodo Australia

Our cousins down under somehow hoodwinked PM Julia Gillard into writing about her "remarkable experience" using Google Glass. Can you imagine the uproar if David Cameron slipped a pair on and found time to write for us? Beats banging on about Kate Middleton and The Smiths, mind. [Gizmodo Au] Read More >>

HTC One: The Most Beautiful Phone HTC’s Ever Created (Updated: Pricing, Hands-On Gallery)

Don't let the fact that HTC's dropped the "batshit-crazy space-age materials" of the three original One models -- the HTC One (yes, they've gone definitive with this year's naming convention) is not only the most beautiful hardware HTC's produced, but it's also running an entirely-redesigned Sense UI, with a few new tricks up its aluminium sleeve, too...

Apple Could Ask Users to Identify Friends’ Avatars, In Passcode Alternative

Is the traditional password on death's door? I only ask because we've seen a few moves where companies are looking beyond the alphanumeric, like Google considering a USB/NFC piece of jewellery (like a ring) which could grant access to its services. Read More >>

Sony’s UK Boss Says They “Might Consider” 4K Phones

The idea of 4K TVs still boggle my mind (and eyes), but 4K phones? Do we even need them? According to a comment last week by Qualcomm's VP of Product Management, Raj Talluri, we will see phones with resolutions higher than 1080p one day, and speaking to Sony's UK Managing Director Pierre Perron, that's something Sony would back -- if enough people showed interest, that is.

These are the Gadgets Straight Outta CES You Need to Look At (Updating)

For 35 years, nerds have been descending upon the Nevada desert's brightest light to ogle upcoming bits of electronics. The goods may've changed over the years (as you can see here); the manner of reporting on those goods may've changed a lot over the years, but the following fact remains the same: we're still lusting after a load of circuit boards and chips. Here's what's come out of CES 2013 so far: Read More >>

More Pixar Concept Art, This Time of the Cancelled Newt

Yesterday we asked of you what your favourite Pixar film is, after they showed off concept art for some awesome-looking upcoming films. Several of you surprisingly chose sequels, which I thought our community of taste-makers generally frowned upon. But that's ok! Each to their own, and all that. Hollywood has shown sequels are worth the financial gamble, something Pixar proved when it bumped this cute Newt film in favour of Cars 2. Read More >>

A Japanese-Style Cat Cafe Could Be Meowing Into, Yup, East London

A regular pub conversation I have with anyone who'll listen is how London really needs a cat cafe. I went to one in Tokyo four years ago, and had to be physically pulled out over there after my allotted time (and tea had been drained). Read More >>

Virgin Atlantic’s Vera Entertainment System Review: The Best Way to While the Hours Away (If You Don’t Have a Tablet)

Hailing from a country a good day's flight away, I've become pretty familiar with the various "entertainment systems" (if you can call some of them that) airlines offer their passengers. You're probably familiar with that sinking feeling when you discover a plane doesn't have on-demand movies, resulting in another 108 minutes to start watching your chosen time-waster from the opening scenes?
