ACECAD BT Speed Dial Controller – instant calls at the touch of a button
Wouldn’t it be great if you could call your friends or family without having to drag your phone out of your pocket or bag every time? If you could just press a single button and your phone would automatically dial the number, or press the emergency button and your phone would send a text message with your location to an emergency contact?

Photography is all about light, as any pundit will tell you, and this is especially true when you want to make the most of limited light indoors or in otherwise less than perfect environments. Most cameras and camera phones use on-board flash units to try and solve the problem, but they’re seldom up to the job, and the results they give can be awful. We’ve all seen those stereotypical New Year’s Eve party snaps which are the result of crude…
Read MoreHow to Stop Your e-Books Being Deleted by Amazon
Amazon seems to have a nasty habit of thinking it can pop along and delete user’s legitimately purchased e-books from their Kindle reader whenever it feels like it, and it’s starting to annoy a few people. It may well be ‘legal’ in respect of the Amazon terms and conditions when you buy your Kindle and/or e-books, but it’s certainly not ‘kosher’ as far as us ordinary mortals are concerned. I buy a book, I don’t expect you to come to…
Read MoreWiFi Protector – easy instant protection from wireless hackers [Freeware]
You don’t have to look far to find lots of horror stories about ID theft, phishing and malware attacks on unsuspecting WiFi users. Sure, some of them are designed to generate more cash for the security business, but that doesn’t alter the fact that it’s generally a pretty hostile place out there if you’re not careful. Current solutions typically involve the installation of various complicated programs to protect your computer, but up till now there hasn’t been a really comprehensive…
Read MoreAquaClock Wall Aquarium is perfect for small spaces
Space is always an issue for those who are residing in a smaller living area. One item might need to take on several different jobs. If you are living in this situation, then you know that there needs to be a perfect marriage of leisure and practicality in the furniture and decorations you buy so things don’t get out of hand. If you should want to have a pet fish, for example, then you need to figure out a way…
Read MoreNesquik Chocolate Fountain is the closest you’ll get to Wonka’s chocolate river
Trying to satisfy a sweet tooth is a difficult task. There are so many different options out there that it can be hard to choose. Walking into a candy store is nothing but sensory overload for sights and smells, so it’s best to premeditate your plan of attack. Drinking down an entire river of chocolate would take care of this issue pretty quickly, but none of us have a key to Wonka’s factory. It would be a bit costly to…
Read MoreAirBac Backpack keeps you from feeling like a pack mule
If a backpack is your preferred method of carrying things, then you probably know of the back and shoulder pain that comes with it. When you have your pack loaded down with books, clothes, or what have you, it starts to dig into your shoulders, and crushes your tailbone. Thankfully, there are posture-improving options out there that will make it a little easier to haul things to and fro.
Read MoreThe Hiccup Stick – banish embarrassing hiccups in seconds
There’s probably nothing more embarrassing than being caught with a massive attack of the hiccups in a public place. Not only are they loud, but it’s pretty obvious that you’re out of control which makes the whole thing even more traumatic. And don’t even get us started with holding our breath and counting to 1000, you ever had that work when people are watching? Nope.
Read MoreLiquid Armor – hardcore phone screen protection from a simple nano spray [Review]
These glorious big touchscreens on the latest smartphones are all well and good, but they create a huge problem. How do you keep them safe and clean in every day use? For most of us, that means buying kludgy plastic screen protectors or cases, and laboriously fitting them to our phones in the hopes of keeping the damage away as much as possible. But we recently tested an interesting new product which seems to offer a really good alternative, without…
Read MoreDolphin Emulator – turn your PC or Mac into a Nintendo Wii for free [Freeware]
The Nintendo Wii turned the console gaming world on its head when it introduced the idea of bringing arcade style controllers into the living room. Being able to play golf, tennis, or fishing with innovative controllers which let you putt, lob and cast just as you would do in real life was a real game changer. Of course that was then, and now the console is finding it difficult to compete with the latest in power titles on rival…
Read MoreMusikki – yet another cool music site
Not a day passes without another online music service appearing on our screens. Where do they all come from, and more to the point, are there enough people or hours in the day for them all to get an audience? The strange thing is the fact that the newest ones are managing to deliver ever improving levels of cool, which the earlier generations couldn’t match. MySpace we’re looking at you.

We’d just like to send best wishes to the US East Coast and New York. Hope things get better very soon.
Read MoreNatural Keyboard puts mother nature at your finger tips
What would you do if your keyboard was, “alive”? Not in the sense that it was going to haul back and bite you every time you tried to type, but that it was something that needed some form of nourishment every now and then. Most of us are probably hoping our keyboards aren’t alive already with all the cheesy poof crumbs, remnants of soda, and who knows what else living amongst those keys. Thankfully, what I’m talking about is much…
Read MoreHeated Sock Animals keep you snug as a bug on a rug
When it starts to get chilly outside, that means the inside of the house will start to cool down too. There’s no way you’re going to turn the thermostat all the way up to make it feel like summer again, because you’ll have a phenomenal bill to deal with. The best way to keep toasty is to put on more layers of clothing, or wrap up in a blanket. Additional ways to stay warm like a water bottle or an…
