As I just spent the last 15 minutes cleaning up my desk and wondering how the hell I'm ever going to get those nasty crumbs and mystery substances out of the crevices of my keyboard - The Next Women have just made my morning.
Apparently computer technology company Seal Shield have developed a new wireless keyboard and mouse that are not only

Enabled By Design is a clever (and attractive) website that aims to put the people using assistive equipment in touch with designers that might be looking for inspiration.
As well as a main blog to highlight topics of interest, there are Loves and Hates sections where people can give their opinions on gadgets and gizmos that are perfect, pretty or helpful and conversely ugly, badly designed or inappropriate for use. There’s an ...

Dodgeball was shut down this past week. Dodgeball was a location based social networking service that never really expanded beyond a select group in San Francisco and New York City used. You could check into locations from ...

Today is Blue Monday - a day when we're all meant to be hurled into
a whirlwind of depression, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts. Call me
crazy, but haven't the past six months been kinda like that? Things
just suck. Not even the whole "Yay it's Bush's last day!" can remedy
that. Yes, Obama will be our president as of tomorrow - but that's not
going to pay your electricity bill is it?

I met Glenn Close on Wednesday.
Well, “met” may be a slight exaggeration.
There was no handshake or “Nice to meet you Glenn, I’m Cathy,” sort of exchange. But we did walk an entire city block and cross two intersections together; and if I were measuring my encounter with her by the terms of social networks and Web 2.0 technologies, she and I are practically best friends now.

I hate shopping. I've never been one of those girls that likes to go shopping for hours upon hours, browsing the sales racks, staring at endless window displays. and trying on clothes just for the hell of it.
That just doesn't appeal to me.
I'd much rather just pop into a shop, grab what I need and get the hell out of there. (You know, so I can go to the food court...)

YouTube is taking a new approach to the rampant copyright violations that exist on the site by removing the audio on videos that use songs without permission (so yes, those fan videos of Gossip Girl and Harry Potter have to go). The images remain but the sound is turned off, which in the words of Michael Arrington, create a bunch of very

As Christmas presents go, I have to say that opening up a Zi6 HD pocket camera from Kodak pretty much takes the biscuit (yes, I did just say ‘takes the biscuit’) for best thing to buy a girl who loves gadgets. I’d been lusting after a Flip Mino HD for months to no avail, as...

I recently read about Facebook banning photos of mums breastfeeding because they're showing too much breast was deemed offensive. Naturally, there was uproar and protesting, but I must admit to being a tad bemused. I'm not a prude, after all it would be a bit late for that considering I advise people on dating and their sex lives for a living, but I don't 'get' why there is this need to 'o...

For those of you who did not catch the memo yesterday - Yelp have now made their way over to the UK. Unfortunately (depending on how you look at it) there are already many start-up review community sites in the UK and London.
From Brownbook.net, to TouchLocal.com, to Tipped ...
