Remember in the Dark Knight where Bruce Wayne fires up his seriously badass privacy invading phone sonar machine to map out the whole of Gotham to track the Joker? Researchers studying echolocation have essentially just made it an amazing reality. Read More >>
The Fiat 500 is a chic tiny little car. It's great for what it is, a small car that's big on personality and its quite nippy in the city, but what the hell is this? A 500 stretched to fit seven seats in there? No. Just no. Read More >>
The phone-obsessed folks over at Recombu have something pretty cool for all those itching to try iOS 7 without potentially bricking their iPhones, or, in fact, for those who don't even have iPhones. They've thrown together an online simulator you can play with right in your browser, even on your Android phone. Read More >>
There's a new 4.45 update for Sony's last-gen console that's apparently bricking PS3s left, right and centre. Some updaters have ended up with their consoles stuck on the boot-up ribbon screen, with no hope of getting out of it. Considering the update barely does anything, this is one I'd stay clear of for a bit. Let Sony iron out all the bugs first. [PlayStation Community via Kotaku] Read More >>

In the world of booze there's just so much to choose from. You've got your fine wines, stoic ales, and enough crisp lagers to sink a battleship, but you'd be surprised just how many billions of spirits are drunk globally. What's your bet for the most consumed liquor? Read More >>

Want to prank people with the power of the Force? Get in a lift and wave your hand like a Jedi while a buddy hits the button from outside. I'm sure it'll work. Just be prepared for the other people in the lift to death grip you post prank -- frankly, they'd be well within their rights to slice you up with a lightsabre.

When it comes to console design, historically none of them have been particularly sleek. They've been machines created to stand out, to look bold on store shelves and to shout out loud and proud that you're a gamer. Unfortunately that means they're often an eyesore when sat under your sexy-looking TV. That's why Sony designed the PS4 to blend in, look cool, and not embarrass you in polite company. Read More >>

Apparently you have no friends, and no one likes you. At least, that's what Rando's suggesting. Personally, I reckon you've got loads of mates, although maybe only on the internet? Anyway, does this kind of in-your-face-you-loser advertising do it for you? Read More >>

Facebook's got a mysterious event this week, and rumour has it that we'll see an Instagram for video. Apparently Zuckerberg and co fancy a stab at Vine or something, at least, that's what an unnamed source seems to think. If true, looks like Twitter and Facebook have yet another thing to fight over. What will it be called? Instavid? FaceTime? Oh, wait. [TechCrunch] Read More >>
