D’oh! Any fans of the Simpsons out there will know that life is not complete without a plentiful supply of donuts, and in the same way a gaming platform is not complete without a bevy of Springfield’s finest to help us while away the hours. [Editor’s Note: is it ‘while’ or ‘wile’?]

Worried you won’t get home in time to let your pooch out to do their business? While a pet door is a good solution, one that swings freely is going to let in more than just your pet. Bugs, cold air, and more will sweep into your home if you’re not careful.

What’s one chore that we all have to do but don’t want to? Cleaning. It’s always on the “to-do” list, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone to do it for you without having to pay them big bucks. There’s always options like the Roomba or its variants, but they are just so mechanical and unwelcoming.

If you went from small town living to life in the big city, there are some aspects you’re really going to miss. Obviously the people are one, but the open spaces and greenery are other factors as well. You don’t exactly see open fields and mossy knolls in the middle of a bustling city, now do you?

If you’re like us, your grasp of financial reality is limited, to say the least. Oh we know all the principles and the ‘should dos’, but at the same time there’s such a lot of ‘must buys’ getting in the way. It’s like some constant tug of war, and the loser is our bank balance.

It would be unfair to classify Tuebl.ca as just another ebook library, despite the name (TUEBL…The Ultimate EBook Library – geddit?). Think of it more as a website on a mission, a mission to connect authors and readers together directly, with no complicated commercial middlemen involved.

We love and hate our phones, as they can keep us connected and entertained, but they all have pretty terrible battery life. Part way through the day and you’re looking at less than half of a charge. While some work places may have an outlet readily available, not everyone has that luxury, and need an alternative.

It’s surprising how many things we take for granted. Like the little light that goes on when you open the fridge and the serrated edge on steak knives. One other item we tend to overlook is the humble and yet oh so crucial USB charger. There’s no such thing as a ‘retina charger‘ is there, and people don’t don black turtle necks to extol the virtues of this year’s new charger block on stage. But where would we be without…

A couple of weeks ago we broke the story of the first ever music video made in a multi-million dollar MRI machine, which was picked up by our colleagues at the BBC, TheVerge and Gizmodo and went on to grab 250,000 views in just 2 weeks. Sivu’s Better Man Than He is an awesome debut single, and it helps that I know James personally, and he’s a great guy. Another person who also seems equally awesome is Dr Marc E….
