They’ve not had the best success here in the UK, but still, it’s a bit of a surprise to see US bookseller Barnes & Noble leaving our shores. They strangely chose World Book Day to make the announcement, with sales of books coming to an end on the 15th …
Can we call this a review? Possibly. We’re not totally sure what to say in order to qualify this as a review, especially as they’re just cables. However, saying that, they are very decent cables. Tronsmart do lots of Type-C cables and lots of microUSB cables, and we’re …

Do you remember the large clunky desktop computers that we used back in the day? Thankfully, they are now vestiges of the past. Technology has advanced so quickly that nowadays we have computers in our hands and even in our glasses. Before too long we’ll have our cars …
Remember when everyone played Angry Birds? It was before everyone started getting into Piano Tiles, Clash of Clans and that talking cat thing. Anyhow, after a million versions of Angry Birds they decided to make it into a movie. The release date is now just over two months …

We have covered the wonderful kitchen connected speaker Triby before, when it went on sale in September 2015. Now Triby has been updated to handle emoticons! Not a huge revelation but it brings the Triby in-line with every other device that you would expect the Internet of Things …
Unless you’ve got a pretty new car, the world of digital radio is probably beyond your reach right now. You’ll probably be listening to some annoying couple called “Kat and Dan” on some generic local radio station as they fake-laugh through your morning commute. How’s about stepping it …

I was never a fan of the Rubik’s Cube as a kid. I think I probably took it out of the box, moved all the squares around and then instantly lost my rag with it. A few weeks later you could’ve probably found it on the floor, with …
Want to get our podcast on iTunes? Well, it’s been there for quite some time now, but the fact is that it wasn’t quite working properly. We’re not quite sure why, but it would only show the last podcast and none of the previous ones. Thankfully we’ve managed …

Well, like I said at the launch event, Samsung know how to launch a phone. They know how to advertise it and sell it too. In fact, you may remember our earlier story about their finance deals. Well, come close to the screen friends, because for today only …
