Meet the Aston Martin CC100 -- a celebration of 100 years of the iconic British sports car, and an update taking the low-slung lines of the 1950's Aston racers and bolting a 21st century 6L V12 monster in the front. Read More >>
We're getting reports that EE's suffering a data outage across the country, with customers on the 4G EE network (not T-mobile or Orange for now), being hit with no data access. Is this happening to you? Read More >>

If you ever needed a reason to spit out a proper hidpi mode, Microsoft, now you have one. Your very own Microsoft Surface Pro's 10-inch 1080p screen makes UI elements too small to be truly useable, but now Samsung's spat a 13.3-inch laptop display with an insane 3200x1800 resolution. That's an Apple Retina Display-beating 276.05ppi. 50 more pixels per inch than the Surface Pro. Read More >>

We've all been there. You've just snapped what you think is the best thing since sliced bread for your new profile pic, but wait! Make sure you're not making a complete tit of yourself with this handy "am I about to be a Facebook douche?" chart. Better safe than sorry. Read More >>
A massive explosion, equivalent to five tonnes of TNT annihilating our satellite's surface, hit the poor Moon back in March. It created a bright flash that glowed like a 4th magnitude star, and could be seen by the naked eye, but apparently no one spotted it, until now. Read More >>
The Apple rumour mill is already gearing up ahead of WWDC this year, with stock trackers the first line in the new-product guessing game. It seems big retailers like Amazon are running dry of MacBook Airs both in the US and UK, which whispers refresh to those in the know -- probably just with Haswell chips and Iris. Read More >>
It's Friday afternoon, and as our attentions turn to those more off-topic, we thought you might like our brand new weekly Chatroom+, where instead of us asking the questions, you ask the questions and help each other out with the answers. This week, Rik from Southampton emailed asking for our hay fever tips -- can anyone recommend anything that actually kills the sodding thing off? Read More >>

Stealing cars has never been what you'd call realistic in GTA. I mean, yeah, it has you pulling people out of moving vehicles and all that jazz, but when have you ever seen a smashed window? Well, you have now. Read More >>

Nigel Clarke has done us all a solid. Having been infuriated by the filter systems of automated call centres, the retired IT man spent literally months on the phone, noting down call options to produce the ultimate database of call centre menu options. Now you can use it to navigate pretty much any customer service phone line like an absolute pro. Read More >>

When you're launching an expansive, high-impact advertising campaign, perhaps shoot your own photos, eh Samsung? Some eye-eagled blogger spotted that, instead of getting a model out to, err, model the Galaxy S4, Samsung just photoshopped the beast into a woman's hand, replacing an iPhone 3G and making her look like she has ginormous paws.

Why wait for your coffee in the morning when your toothbrush can juice you up with caffeine instead? Colgate's apparently trying just that. Read More >>
I'm not sure if it's actually better looking in white or not, but apparently Android and Me has one physically in hand. The white Nexus 4 is supposedly a carbon-copy of the black version we know and love, just with a white body and Android 4.3 (no LTE mentioned). Take with a pinch of sodium chloride for now, but surely everyone who's likely to want a Nexus 4 has already bought one? [Android and Me] Read More >>
It's time for yet another one of Google's aweomeChrome experiments. This one's a Scaletrix-like slot racer. All you need is Chrome on a phone or tablet and you're good to go. Race on a massive track with up to five friends across five different-sized devices. It's a blast. Read More >>
