Real Time Video Helicopter lets you use your phone for some fun snooping

You really have to hand it to those Far Eastern designers. No sooner have they developed affordable – and yes we mean cheap – small radio controlled helicopters, than they start to up the ante by introducing all sorts of clever to the genre. The past few months saw the arrival of helicopters which you controlled using your smartphone, and then there were ones which carried cameras. And now…?

Jolie Body Hair Trimmer – Tame the wookie

Do you have excessive amounts of body hair? Do you wish you didn’t? While most dudes don’t really want to completely shave off their body hair, there’s no harm in keeping it in check. You probably don’t want to use the trimmer that you use for your beard and hair for your armpits and legs. So why not get a separate tool?

Diablotek Linux PC Keyboard – it’s a computer, inside a keyboard, on a desk…

There are two aspects of the personal computer which, over the years, have refused to be dominated by the size lobby. The monitor, which has grown ever bigger on our desktops, and the keyboard. If you do any kind of serious computering, you need a good sized keyboard with a separate number pad and all the bells and whistles. What’s strange however is the fact that the computer part itself has at the same time shrunk in size to almost…

PushBullet – instantly move stuff from your computer browser to your Android phone [Freeware]

Once you start using a smartphone in earnest, you quickly discover that the more you connect it with your computer, the more useful it becomes. I constantly find myself checking traffic on the laptop maps before leaving, or hastily scribbling down an address or a postcode for the Google Navigation when I get into the car. But what I really needed is a quick and easy way to send from the computer to my phone without any intervening hassles.

USB Pet Rock will always be there for you

There are some things that we buy that have absolutely no function aside from being looked at. Figurines, paintings, and other decorative mediums are meant to simply sit there and look pretty. While we can’t always avoid the allure of these materialistic items, they may as well serve some other purpose rather than being an object in a room.

Tetris Alarm Clock – Wake up to nostalgia

If you haven’t played the game Tetris, you probably at least know what it is. Falling Tetriminos (I had no idea they were called that) are at your command to be turned this and that direction until they hit the floor of the chasm they’ve been cast into. If you have a straight line across, it disintegrates, and if it reaches the top, you lose. Other than the visuals, the main thing you probably remember is the theme song. Can…
