Wires suck. Fact -- they get lost, broken, or filched by unscrupulous flatmates. Better to do away with them altogether, which is why we've corralled together a collection of the best Bluetooth headphones money can buy, to see if any of them have the chops to replace good old-fashioned copper. The results, after a couple months of testing, are surprisingly positive. Read More >>

Parrot, a company more famous for making the AR Drone, is attempting to smarten up your garden with the Flower Power. It's a Bluetooth sensor that looks like a cute little tree branch that you place inside your flower pot to measure sunlight, humidity, temperature and fertiliser. Basically, you'll know exactly what each of your plants need in real time. Read More >>
If you needed any more proof that drones are slowly but surely infiltrating the world around us, look no further than the vineyards of the world, where our little robotic friends are revolutionising the world of precision viticulture. Read More >>
See those silver stripes around the circumference of this Parrot AR drone? They're not there for decoration or style. They're actually strips of aluminum tape that's wired into a capacitor from a disposable camera's flash. Which means that when—not if—this drone bumps into someone, they're going to get a particularly unpleasant shock as you can see what happened to its creator's arm. Read More >>

While the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is hardly "cheap," at least you can actually buy one -- for £279, that is. Do you want your own personal spy drone? Silly question -- of course you do! But is the Drone 2.0 the one for you? Read More >>

Bluetooth headphones are really coming of age. No longer do they sound crap with rubbish range and clunky design. Parrot's brand new Ziks, a partnership with legendary French designer Philippe Starck, bundles more technology than you can shake a stick at into what it reckons are the best Bluetooth cans on the market. But are they really worth 350 smackers? Read More >>
I bet you're looking at these ZIK Parrot by Starck cans and thinking how hot they are. Hey! Eyes up here, buddy. Don't be shallow. They're packed tight with some very cool tech, but yes, they are begging to be stroked. Read More >>
Almost exactly two years ago to the day, we got our first look at Parrot's AR.Drone quadricopter—the coolest flying toy we'd ever seen. Well we just got our first look at the AR.Drone 2.0, and it's gotten even cooler. Read More >>
