Do Any Hay Fever “Remedies” Actually Work?

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 >>

Would You Pay £2 a Week for the Sun Online+?

The Sun, that bastion of quality news journalism and tits on page 3, is planning to erect a paywall for its online offerings, in something it's calling Sun+. Basically, you pay two quid a month for access to the paper and "near-live" TV clips of Premier League footie. Tempting perhaps? Read More >>

Will You Buy Nvidia’s Awesome-Looking Shield Portable Android Console?

We've got Ouya for the home, but what about serious gaming on the go? Nvidia wants to beat Sony and Nintendo at their own game with the Android-powered Tegra 4-packing Shield. But will you really buy it for about £240ish, or the price of a Nexus 4? Read More >>

The Tate’s Taking Away Explanatory Text Panels; How Screwed Are We?

I'll be honest: I'm terrible at interpreting modern art. A soup tin is, well, a soup tin, and I won't get an extistential experience out of looking at it unless there's a plaque next to it, explaining why it's a symbolic representation of the downfall of society. That's why I'm kinda bummed the Tate is taking down all their explanatory plaques, leaving interpretation up to you (and the audio guide, of course). Read More >>

Would You Eat a Test Tube-Made Burger?

Probably the most expensive piece of meat ever to exist is about to go under the grill in an undisclosed location in London. The £210,000-plus burger, made in a lab without ever seeing a real cow, is slightly bigger than a BK whopper and apparently tastes "reasonably good". If someone slapped one of these puppies on your plate, would you gorge yourself? Or is test tube-grown meat too much to stomach? Read More >>

What Simple Gadget Has Made Your Life a Bajillion Times Easier?

We're all looking for something that can solve every one of our problems. Unfortunately that's probably a futile effort. Chances are though, there are cheap, easy solutions to at least one of the annoyances each of us run into every day, it's just a matter of figuring out what the hell they are. Read More >>

If Nintendo Made a Mario Game For the iPhone and Android, Would You Buy It?

Nintendo's not doing so great as a hardware manufacturer. Its Wii U isn't really selling; the old Wii is still selling, but doesn't make much money, and there just aren't that many games actually being made for either console. So, what if Nintendo 'pulled a Sega' and dumped hardware for games? Mario on your phone would be awesome. Read More >>

Would You Buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 With an Optical Zoom?

Usually reliable internet sources claim Samsung's preparing another Android model, this one going by the name Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. The alleged phone shrinks the S4's screen size to 4.3" but adds a 16-Megapixel sensor around the back by way of compensation. It's less of a phone than the Galaxy S4 and less of a camera than the Galaxy Camera. Is it therefore a phone too far for our Korean Android overlords? [SamMobile] Read More >>

Is This Glasshole on a Phone Really a Vision of the Gadget Apocalypse?

Google Glass is weird. It's not quite like anything we've seen before. It's the best. It's the worst. It's polarising. This picture of a Google Glass-wearing tube-rider showed up on Twitter yesterday, and sparked a Buzzfeed article that posits Glass will just bring on more of the distraction it claims to alleviate.

What’s Your Grubbiest Tech Confession?

Nobody's perfect. Some people Skype without a headset in public. Others insists on using Internet Explorer. Some weirdos even use Comic Sans without flinching. But what's your grubbiest tech confession? We're all friends here, so let it out. It'll be cathartic. I promise. Read More >>

What Is the Prettiest Gadget You Own?

Beautiful design isn't good design, and even the prettiest gadgets can still suck. But all that said, there's something to be said for devices that are just easy on the eyes, and if they're good too, that's a bonus. What's the prettiest gadget you've got hanging around. Or, if you're living in a trash-heap or something, what's the prettiest one you aspire to someday own? Read More >>

Do You Run Anti-Virus on Your Mac?

Just because there aren't many viruses infecting Macs, doesn't mean OS X can't be a vector. I run ClamXav, not really to protect my Mac from viruses, but to protect my Windows machines from catching malware from files on my Mac. So, do you Mac-using folks run any kind of AV software, and if so, which one? Read More >>
