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 ...

The Metro are continuing the trend of reporting on the fabulous world of 140 character, Twitter, and have a sweet little story on The Great British Sandwich. What is the GB Sandwich, you ask? Simply put, it's a massive, virtual sandwich where you - yes you! - can login and add your own clever layers.

Mac users don't have much by way of photo organizing programs. iPhoto dominates on the scene, and the other, lesser known, programs don't receive as much attention - both from Mac users and programmers. PC users, on the other hand, have so many choices for photo organizing programs that it can be a bit overwhelming. Many swear by Google's Picasa, and I never understood the fascination, until they released a Mac version this week.

Myspace used to be so cool, and then it just got...well, a bit tired. Despite being slightly boring since the Facebook boom, Myspace holds a special place in my heart.
Therefore, I was quite pleased to find out that they now have a Profile 2.0 feature.
Gone are the days of having to risk getting your profile hacked if you wanted to add some third party's code to use their Hawt Pimped-Out Myspace Backgroundz. Now you can change the layout of your page, what modules you want t...

iTunes Plus has bee around for awhile. It's a handy feature in the iTunes Store, but it didn't do much for the masses. iTunes Plus charged a slightly higher fee for DRM-free music, but only featured a small range of artists from specific labels. Apple and the record labels have finally made some changes and started trusting customers: the entire iTunes catalog is going DRM-free!

This week is a very special week, where San Francisco plays host to MacWorld 2009. Not only is it a conference full of fun for any Mac nerd, but it is also the time of year when Apple announces new product releases. This year, they've made three announcements thus far - some dull and expected, and other shocking and exciting.

Hello, my name is Kate and I'm a geek. I've been a geek my whole life - I geek out to literature, Doctor Who, punk rock, Web 2.0 stuff, gadgets (robots in particular) and the idea of passing on geekdom to younger generations.
I was accurately (yet cruelly) labeled "geek" in the seventh grade. While this label seemed to be a social inhibitor throughout much of my young life, as I grew up into the geek woman I now am, I learned that to be geek is empowering. Someone, somewhere said...

There have been a fair few things bubbling under the radar this past week, as people have been slowly switching back on and remembering that yes – we all have to go back to work.
I’ve been playing with my goodies from the Mac Giving Tree, which was created by the lovely people at MacHeist. From Christmas Day onwards, this included a range of free software to trial, in...
