While 50 million users world wide may love the online game Moshi Monsters, it would appear that Lady Gaga is not one of them. Gaga flexed her legal muscle and has won an injunction against Mind Candy, the company behind Moshi Monsters, to stop their Gaga-inspired character Lady Goo Goo from releasing a single.

While I am all for children using technology, I wonder if there is a line that we’ve crossed somewhere.I’ve had numerous conversations with people about their children using their gadgets. Toddlers and babies love the iPad. I’ve watched with my own eyes children barely older than 2-years-old happily navigating around an iPad and, by memory, locating their favourite games and applications. From Angry Birds to an episode of The Night Garden, they know how to find it. And turn th...

I am a seriously big fan of electronic book readers.While some people have insisted to me that they’re killing bookshops, books, and life as we know it - I personally think that eReaders are encouraging reading and the purchasing of books.However, I don’t really understand the need for WH Smith to start selling the Ko...

This weekend I purchased a gadget for me niece as a gift for her second birthday - a fantastic camera from VTech.We were so excited to give her this, as she’s always going after our video and still cameras, pushing the buttons, staring at the screen, and stashing them in her handbag. (Yes, her handbag. She carries it around on her elbow. I know.) We started bringing our waterproof Kodak Playsport with us every time we saw her, simply because we knew she loved it so much, and a...

Today is an incredibly sad day in the world of tech, as we have lost one of our great leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs, Steve Jobs. I don't own any Apple products aside from an iPod that is about four generations behind, and I am often critical of Apple fanboys. While I remain dubious about the trustworthiness of the brand, the news of the death of Steve Jobs is, simply put, profoundly sad. As

While colourful gadgets are a welcome change to the usual charcoal and black phones and laptop - a pink, purple, or baby blue alternative don't usually tickle my fancy. White alternatives, however, I do love. From the white Blackberry Bold 9700 to the new white

I am not an early adopter like Phil Dunphey. I will not wait in line for a gadget, and I certainly do not want to watch interviews with all of the freaks who will do so at 4am.People who obsess over things like the iPad make me feel ill and don’t even get me started on the people who predict things about gadgets. Do we really want to see your photoshopped representation of what you

Not long after it introduced the friend ticker on the right hand side of your screen, Facebook began to roll out another innovation, albeit in a much slower wave: the Timeline. While clever clogs using Chrome and Firefox figured out that you can block the ticker, most people still have not been given the option for Timeline, although they should be able to access the demo.
