We don’t often do crowdfunding posts here, for reasons we’ve explained before, but this fully funded gadget caught our eye because it’s a real cool piece of work. The developers have basically looked at just about all the major accessories you get for smartphones and crammed them into one keychain device. Very smooth.

In today’s age of paperless transactions, it’s a bit of a surprise when we find that there are times when we need to deal with actual paper. Shocking. Official documents like bills, receipts and the like are still being printed on paper, and they’re bound to need scanning at some point, especially if you deal with old fashioned operations like banks. However all is not lost, because you can now use your smartphone camera and a cool app to act…

Veteran gadget maker Parrot yesterday rolled out the latest in its product range, a new, super easy to fly quadcopter called the Rolling Spider, and we were there to give it a quick test run. Quirky French name aside, the new toy is actually really cool in some ways, especially since we managed to keep it flying for more than our typical 5 seconds – bang! – routine.

A new service has launched which aims to make it much easier for people living in the EU to make a request to Google to remove their information from the search results.

It’s summer time. Time to enjoy the great outdoors. The natural world. Where once your phone runs out of power, it’s gone. Sure you could charge it up again in your car, but that could prove problematic if your nearest car park is the other side of a range of mountains. Which is why this new product is so cool. It turns fire into electricity.
