There are plenty of compact Bluetooth speakers in the world, but none quite have the provenance of Croft House's offerings. They're made from maple wood that Michael Jackson himself spent hours dancing on. Now that's HIStory.
We were duped last time around, but these alleged shots of the new store's download manager look more legit — and far less heinous.
There are some games which you only hear spoken about in a hushed whisper, such is the awe and respect they command. Chrono Trigger is one such game, routinely cited as one of the very best role-playing games ever made. Designed by the developer dream-team of Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy), Yuji Horii (creator of Dragon Quest) and Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragonball Z), it presented players with a radical new take on the genre, including multiple endings, character side-quests, and a unique battle system.
Sony Ericsson maybe going Sony-only from mid-2012, but the doomed partnership has one last phone up its sleeve and it's been photographed again -- this time with the screen on, and showing its true colours.
Megaupload says it's suing Universal Music Group. Wait, what? File sharing vector suing copyright holder? Megaupload went on the offensive against the recording industry with a video uploaded to YouTube featuring big name artists. Universal had it taken down (we found a mirror).
I never get tired of time-lapses of New York City, but Rivers & Roads is particularly beautiful. It perfectly captures the arteries that carry the blood through the city — in just one minute from just one vantage point.
Wow, just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier, RIM's self-destruction takes another insane turn. This time two drunk executives caused such a ruckus on a plane that they had to be handcuffed with plastic restraints and adhesive tape, which they promptly chewed through and then kicked-off again.
It was great to see the Muppets back in theaters, but Kermit plucking away on a banjo is no match for the incredibly life-like performances of these Taiwanese martial arts hand puppets that can even breathe fire.
In the largest outpouring of celebrity magnanimity since Live AID, a bevy of A-Listers have come out in support of MegaUpload. Huh, apparently the file-sharing service is used for something other than providing me easy access to anime and porn.
I like the simplicity of this house. It's just one gigantic 208-square-metre box made of wood. With some windows that frame nature perfectly. And a lap pool. In a perfect nine-hectare site on a hill overlooking the Russian River Valley, California, USA.
Paranoid about future unrest after this summer's riots in the UK, the British went and developed a laser rifle which can project a wall of light and temporarily blind a pack of rioters.
We've all seen evidence that Google's working environments aren't your typical grey-box cubicle affair, but its latest refit to the fourth floor of its London Victoria office takes the biscuit. From an indoor park to write-anywhere-walls, sofas and deck chairs, Level 4 has to be one of the coolest places to work on the planet.
Over 1,000 people entered our two competitions during Film Week last week, proving it's not the end of the line for companies such as Kodak and Fujifilm. But who's walking away with one of nine Lomography cameras to keep film developers in business? These talented sods, that's who:
I'm not expert in Middle East policy, but it seems to me that if the whole world knew about Tel Aviv's Star Wars crawl escalator, Israel and its neighbours would live together in eternal peace — because it is amazing.
When is an Ultrabook not an Ultrabook? When it's got a 14-inch screen, weighs 4 pounds and has an optical drive, that's when.
This weekend saw the last lunar eclipse until 2014, giving lucky stargazers in the northern US and Canada, as well as Australia and New Zealand, a stunning view of our own celestial satellite. The moon shone a glorious red as the Earth passed between the Sun and the Moon, looking closer than ever.
