That rather grim lump of concrete is one of the country's newest Grade II listed buildings. It's the Block C group of builidings at Bletchley Park, where the Nazi codes were crunched.
Well that didn’t take long. Netflix launches in the UK with unlimited streaming for £5.99 and Amazon replies with a streaming-only package at an “introductory” price of £4.99.
This clever little kitchen tablet is splash-proof and wipes down easily for marinara spills and greasy fingers, and the entire OS revolves around recipes and step-by-step cooking methods. It also stands on legs so you can use it hands-free. Hot!
LaCie has officially invited their 2big line of RAIDS to join the Thunderbolt party, granting them transfer speeds up to three times faster than a tired old FireWire 800 connection. At 311MB/s, you better tell your data to buckle up.
It seems when Netflix says "early 2012" it really does mean early 2012, not "before April" -- Netflix is now live and kicking in the UK and Ireland. The streaming service will set you back a pretty reasonable £5.99 a month, and there’s even a free one-month trial to let you test it out.
Why would anyone want a mat that does nothing but charge phones? It's dumb and ugly and takes up space. But an alarm clock that you just set your phone down on to charge it? Yes please.
Everything should be waterproof. Especially phones, because you know how you love to poop and talk. You can thankfully drop Fujitsu's new line of waterproof Android phones and tablets in the crapper without ruining them.
I lose things a lot. Like, constantly. Bikn lets you use the things you haven't lost to find the things that have gone missing. And if you lose everything, it's got you covered too.
Did you know that a large chunk of the following year's gadgets get unveiled at CES, the trade show that takes over Las Vegas every single January? Some CES gadgets never go on sale (helloooo, Lady Gaga's Polaroid glasses!), and some completely take us by surprise (looking at you, Palm Pre).
Lenovo's Android-powered K91 is, in their words, a "Smart TV" that runs Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest version of the OS. On top of running any Android 4.0-compatible app, Lenovo promises optimised apps, including 100 that are already preloaded. The only catch is that it's a China exclusive for now.
I just got some mitts-on time with Lenovo's new notebook, the X1 Hybrid. What's interesting about it is that it can boot into a battery-doubling low-power mode that runs off of a snapdragon processor and custom software based on a certain kernel we all know.
Windows 8 has a gorgeous Metro and finger friendly swipe-y interface that's perfectly fine but so 2011. All I want in my life in 2012 is Tobii, a company that's made the future possible: you control Windows 8 with your eyes. Seriously, it knows exactly what you're looking at when you're looking at it. It's instantaneous, it's ah-mazing and I haven't been this excited about technology since well, ever.
HDTV is cool, I guess, but it's going to be hard to go back after looking at LG's ultra-def 4k display, which packs four times the pixels as a 1080p set. It's mind-bogglingly crisp and enormously... enormous. Second mortgage time!
I love things I can touch. Knobs and dials. Buttons. The Griffin Twenty gives you a big honkin' dial to control your wireless music. The grace of AirPlay with the goodness of twistin' stuff.
Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child initiative has historically been more about promise than fulfillment. But in the £65 XO 3.0 tablet, OLPC may have its first product that's not just practical, capable, or cheap. It's actually… good.
