If there's one thing Spotify could be characterised as weak for, it's music discovery. It's not awful, but compared to the likes of Last.fm and the myriad of other streaming radio-type services, it's just not as good. Spotify's hoping to solve that with an overhauled Radio -- bigger, smarter and free-to-all.
The blaring of your double-belled alarm clock is enough to wake the dead. So, unless you intend to start the zombie apocalypse, start your morning with something more gentle — like the Tick Tock iPhone Dock.
The Apple TV has finally been given the gift of streaming TV shows from the iTunes store in the UK. You still have to buy them first though -- you can't rent them -- which means it's not exactly a cheap way of consuming your favourite TV shows; if they're even available on iTunes that is.
The director of the newly launched Government Digital Service project has revealed that one in five calls to government helplines were triggered by failed attempts to use official web sites, costing the UK taxpayer nearly one billion pounds.
Sure, the penny CGP Grey is talking about might be the American one cent coin, but the same goes for our pretty much useless 1p coin. When was the last time you saw a vending machine take less than a 5p coin? And all those crummy £0.99 sales tactics -- that's £1 whichever way you carve it up -- who cares about that 1p you're potentially saving?
Virgin Media's got something on offer for the more casual internet user, promising to give its customers "free lifetime security & parental controls" for peace of mind.
Destroying enemy vehicles would be a lot easier if the little SOB's would just sit still and take what's coming to them—what's coming being a 2.5-inch Hydra-70 rocket. But of course they don't, so the US Navy's upgrading its existing stock of rockets with Low-Cost Imaging Terminal Seeker technology. Let's see them run now.
To prove to you how beautiful film photography can be this Film Week, the guys from Lomography shot a bunch of rolls at the Giz UK party on Wednesday night; the results of which are up in our gallery here. And if you like the crazy colour-shifts and vignetted effects, you can try and win one of nine cameras right here on Giz.
We heard rumours of Panasonic's re-entry into the UK market, but now it's been confirmed that in March next year, we'll see a Euro-Panasonic smartphone roll-out. A 4.3-inch Android phone reference design was shown off too, which shows Panasonic's heading in the right direction for a decent looking phone, at the very least.
In the real world, golf is the game you play between attempts to drift a golf cart. I'm sure dressing like you're going to world's blandest ska show while swinging a stick is fun. But it's funner (that's a word) when you you can level up your balls in a video game based on golf.
Before our Christmas tree lighting needs were taken care of with £20 and a trip to Argos, creating the atmosphere meant placing candles—wax towers topped with fire—onto seasonal kindling. Think it's frightening now when your dog tugs a branch? Just imagine your living room bursting into flames for the sake of Christmas cheer.
Twitter has undergone a major transformation; like a caterpillar that's emerged as a weird looking tiny-text butterfly that hates direct messages. Some will embrace Twitter's change in design philosophy, but grizzled social media veterans already hate it.
The Minimalist backpack. Super strong, super light, super compact, and waterproof. It's made of nonwoven Dyneema which is 10x stronger than steel. Cool materials, but it's a £80 plastic bag! Uncomfortable enough that it should be recycled. In hell. [Outlier]
If confirmed next week, this will be the biggest news in the history of physics since the birth of the Theory of Relativity: CERN scientists may have already found evidence of the existence of the elusive Higgs boson. THE FORCE, dudes:
Digitimes has unnamed sources telling them that laptop manufacturers are anticipating the Metro UI of Windows 8 and are planning to equip upcoming ultrabooks with touchpanels. Really? Touchscreens on our laptops? Why?
