There’s a large and growing number of online services and social networks clamouring for your attention and content.

She loves me, she loves me not. We’ve been looking for the perfect mate finder since the dawn of civilisation, or probably before.

Read MoreHow to turn an old credit card into an earbud cable tidy
When things are tight, the resourceful get to work. They don’t moan or get depressed, instead they dig out the toolbox, grab an ounce or two of initiative and craftsmanship and start to fix, build and scavenge what they can instead of buying new. That’s the sign of an intelligent consumer nowadays.
Read MoreHomeSnap app knows more about your house than you do
Looking for a new home can be a bit strenuous. There are all sorts of factors to take into account such as wondering how many beds, baths, and floors are in the house, what the neighborhood is like, and what schools are nearby.

Read MoreEnso Pearl makes your kitchen timer look pathetic
Whenever you need to set a timer, you will often turn to the one you keep in your kitchen as this is its only reason to exist. However, if you’re a busy person who needs several timers set at once, this isn’t going to cut it. You will likely need something like the Enso Pearl.
Read MoreSuperfocus Lenses makes bifocals seem even more terrible than normal
Bifocals are horrendously obnoxious. These glasses have two different and very specific optical powers that can help people who have myopis, hyperopis, presbyopia, and/or astigmatism.

We’re easily confused. Sure we know it’s London Olympics year and all that, but when did the jolly old Brit flag return to favour as a fashion statement? The last time we remember this kind of stuff, was on an Austin Mini cruising down the King’s Road in 1967, and hardly any of the locals took any notice even then.
Read MoreCloudmagic gives you the ultimate power of search everywhere [Daily Freeware]
The problem with computers is they generate data, lots and lots of data. Not only that, but they store this stuff everywhere, on your computer, on the web (aka the Cloud), on remote network machines, on Internet services. That makes it tricky to retrieve the right bit of data, when you want it, because first you’ve got to remember where the heck it’s stored.
Read MorePodtime instantly turns any space into a micro-hotel
Sleep, that marvellous and yet elusive commodity. Why does it tease us when we need it so badly? Nothing helps start the day off better than a good night’s sleep, and nothing can generate a heavy day at work more than a lousy night’s sleep, tossing and turning. We need our sleep.
Read MoreFlexible Cooling Mister is a crazy straw for your lawn
When it gets unbearably hot in the summer, you oftentimes try to turn to different methods of cooling yourself off. Having a fan or air conditioning unit in front of you while outdoors seems a bit silly, so it normally comes down to either shade or misters. Shade will guard you from the suns rays entirely, while a mister will simply keep you cool, allowing you to bask in the sunlight.
Read MoreDICE+ is the world’s first electronic dice
When you think of a board game, you’ll likely think of something along the lines of Monopoly, Sorry, or Life. A common theme that they all share is having many tiny pieces that can easily be lost, never to be found again. It’s no wonder that many board games have been made into video games, as it is cumbersome to not only keep track of all the pieces, but also lug the whole box out and set everything up.
