The problem with most light fittings is that they're only about style: they're the preserve of hipsters and interior designers. If you want something a little more geeky, why not make your own test tube chandelier?
SpaceX’s goal of commercial spaceflight and space expeditions took a massive step forward with the testing of the company’s SuperDraco engine. This is the rocket that should allow its Dragon spaceships to land safely back on Earth, or any other planet for that matter.
If you're one of the rare Gizmodo readers that occasionally takes a break from performing internet speed tests and checking for new OS updates to watch sport on TV, you may like this. The official RBS Six Nations Live Challenge app.
This dumb picture of tomato sauce, cheese, and scorched bread has been making the internet rounds, blobbing from blog to blog under the guise of "jar pizza." Pizza in a jar is a lie. It's not pizza. It's a delusion.
Sony Ericsson has just announced a new limited edition version of its Xperia Active, covering it in the branding of rough & tumble clothing firm Billabong.
In the last week, we've seen hundreds of suggestions for important gadget and technology breakthroughs of the past decade for our tech timeline with O2, to celebrate our joint double-digits birthdays. While space and common sense prohibited squeezing every last launch on there (Apple Hi-Fi? Srsly?), we're flush with confidence we've nailed it.

Anything Virgin Media can do BT can do almost as well and a bit later, it appears, with BT today announcing plans to double its fibre broadband speeds from this spring.
My experience of Siri has been OKish as an Englishman with my generic southerner accent. But even I’ve got to admit the “I’m sorry, I can only… blah blah blah… in US English” really gets to me too, because frankly it’s not sorry is it? It’s just a machine, and it wouldn’t do it again if it was really sorry. Anyway, perhaps this is the advert the good old ASA should have forced Apple to run; it’s certainly a lot closer to the irritating truth for us Brits.
Certain members of the internet community will be infuriated by research from app-monitoring company Crittercism, which claims Android is a more stable OS on the whole than Apple's iPhone system.
It may not be the largest diesel engine we've ever covered but this vintage, 30-ton diesel engine is no less impressive. It used to power the whole of the Auteuil Racecourse in Paris.
