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 >>

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...

I'll warn you upfront: these two opportunities are unpaid, but if you're a young 'un wanting work experience, or someone merely wanting to spout off about their chosen subject in under 1,000 words, we want to hear from you. Read More >>

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 >>

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.

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 >>
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 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 >>

In our two Crimbo competitions so far, you've had to rely upon your Photoshop skillz (or lack thereof), or commenting prowess. This time, all that's required of you is some basic knowledge of the world of technology -- specifically, we want to know what gadget or tech you're most looking forward to seeing in 2013. Easy, right? Well, it will be, if you've been paying attention during Giz Class this year. Read More >>

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?

Last Monday, we asked you to peer behind you at the big tech stories of 2012, and Photoshop the heck out of one of them for a chance to win a Sony Xperia S. If you're particularly fond of the sharp end of a stick being pointed Apple's way, step on over... Read More >>
Every week in the run up to Christmas, the Giz Santa will rifle through her desk drawer and produce a different mobile for a good little boy or girl. But unlike the fat man who shimmies down your chimney, Giz Santa actually requires you prove your worth with a new challenge every week. This week's challenge? Why, you need to dust off your Photoshop skillz by illustrating your favourite tech story of 2012. Read More >>

As expected, Skyfall stormed the cinemas; broke some records, and even had a few of us reaching for our tissues during that scene. While the rest of us are now looking forwards to The Hobbit, opening next month, one talented Giz UK reader will soon be receiving a pretty unique Skyfall souvenir -- designed by their own fair hands in our 3D Printing Challenge.
