- This sounds fun. You stick your iPod in the i-No game, and then use your colour coded remote control to buzz in and guess the name of the tune and the artist, playing against your friends. It's not anything you couldn't do with your iPod on Shuffle and docked in a stereo, as far as I can tell, but is licensed by Apple, should that be important to you. |

- Picture the scene: I've just updated my Facebook status with last night's escapades, tagged myself in several compromising photos and deleted one friend whose Christmas card list I probably won't be on this year. And then I check my friend request and have a new one. From my father. |

- Ever had to really squint at your retro analogue clock to work out whether it's acceptable to leave work yet? Well, this clock is in no way going to solve the problem.` |

- Considering the bow on this baby, we'd like to call it Game Girl, but it does clebrate the time when foingers would be a tapping on a mini black and white screen enjoying Mario's adventures and colecting oversized mushroom |

- It works like this: You buy these t-shirts in pairs, and when you're away from the owner of your paid t-shirts your lit up heart level languishes at two and a half. Come within hugging distance though, and you rocket right up to ten. |

- As robots are traditionally known as high tech walking calculators, it seems only right that we should now design this humble appliance to look just like one. It certainly adds a funky edge to your pencil case. this calculator does all the y'know, calculations that could be expected, and also has useful features like m |

- Sorry - that title was all a bit Daily Mirror, wasn't it... The gist is basically that Currys, the electrical retailer, has decided to stop selling patio heaters, in light of new evidence that they're making the environment extremely unhappy. It's already been implemented online, and now they're not taking any further orders on the high street stores. |

- Garmin's GPS-packing mobile, the nüvifone, has been announced. The actual device won't be available until the autumn at an undisclosed price with undisclosed partners. Nevertheless, the spec sounds promising and as GPS is increasingly integrated into phones we can only assume that plenty more sat nav manufacturers will be on the case with similar gadgets soon. |

- Theobromine is the lovely molecule that gives us the happy rush when we're eating chocolate. A chemical cousin of caffeine, it provides a more gentle and sensual rush than its abrasive relative. Now you can show off your love of theobromine's happy factor on your clothes. |

- Another music tip for you this week, after all that life organising type stuff of the previous week. We're a big fan of Finetune here, and use it to create playlists that all the office is happy with. |

- We've written about the Wi Fi t-shirt before, well now we actually get to try it out. Watch how the bars change intensity as the signal gets higher and lower (and try not to stare at my chest.) Geek chic at its best! |

- It's a bad news day for women in tech. Apparently the wage gap between men and women in the tech industry is growing and men are making 12% more than women than they were last year. |

- This is Gemma Atkinson, who's famed for being in Hollyoaks, going out with a footballer, and going into the jungle. She must also be a big fan of 3, the mobile phone network. What other explanation could there possibly be for her standing there in a 3 t-shirt? |

- After the peaks of CES, Macworld and last Thursday's mental camerafest, news is a little slow at the moment. So perhaps it's time to think of all the gadgets you're glad you haven't got. Times Online has compiled a list of the ten most useless inventions of the 19th and 20th Century. This includes some with wonderfully Leonard of Quirm names, such as the "device for waking persons from sleep". |

- Remember when we heard about the Amazing, nay, Magical Eye Fi SD card? The card that connected to your home WiFi network, automatically uploading your photos to sites like Flickr without the need for USB ports, wires or other rubbish things? Well, now Nikon have discovered its wonderfulness, and their D60 camera is getting in on the act. |

- But you can call me Alex. Writing for the web has its perks - being on Facebook a couple of times a day is practically mandatory - but it also means a bookmark list the length of the average country's electoral roll. And I still only visit the same old handful of sites, but I love them dearly. And here are ten of them. If you think your list is better - as it undoubtedly is - don't forget to email Susi with it and we'll make you famous. |

- I can't help thinking this sounds a little cruel, but it must have passed SOME test or other, so I'm going to assume this is absolutely fine, safe and dandy for your pooch. And not at all a way to confuse and bewilder them for amusing results and / or a handy tool for shutting up a guard dog. |

- Flowers are such temperamental things. they look lovely and then they die, and this poignantly signifies the life span of 95% of relationships. So then the whole concept of buying somebody flowers is really rather sad, as you are pre-empting the end of your relationship with your own cold hard cash (this could explain why my |

- A group of dancers found out something all London Underground travellers already knew: the best you'll get for doing the full length Thriller dance is a few people pretending they're not watching you and a polite, restrained round of slightly underwhelmed applause. Hilarious. |

- Ecobutton is a great way to strike a balance between not wasting energy and having a quickly accessible computer. Going into standby can mean waiting ages to get back to a working screen, but Ecobutton employs an "ecomode" which saves energy but still means a quick return ot full operation when you've finished your paperwork / phone call / sarnie. |

- It's the end of a zeitgeist, my friends. MySpace may have been the beginning of the social networking for many people, but when it's got its own Day of Hate, it's time to find another bandwagon. Blogger Simon Owens has decided he's leading the revolution, and has declared today 'International Delete Your MySpace Account Day'. |

- The iPhone has been pretty good for O2 - not only are people shelling out for it, but it seems to be having a knock-on effect on the rest of the O2 phones, with more people signing up to the network than previously. It could get even better, as O2 have adjusted their iPhone tariff. |

- You either like pink or you don't. If you do, look no further for the perfect accompaniment to Apple's new pink iPod nano, which presumably got you dribbling in delight. |

- Yes, the rumours are true; this crochet mat which Crafty Crafty is suggesting as a great beginner's project was completed by none other than Ms. Shiny herself, Katie Lee. |

- It's a funny shade of pink, this one. It's almost salmon, which is an unlikely choice for a pink gadget. Candy, yes. Neon, oh yes. Salmon? |

- LED lights are definitely the new green, with designers falling over themselves to use them in environmentally conscious, attractive lighting concepts. Well, Herman Miller's Leaf is more than a concept, winning awards and finding a spot in the Design Museum and New York's MOMA collection. |

- It's still getting dark early, and now you don't even have Christmas to look forward to. What to do? One option is vodka, but an altogether more healthy one is some of those clever Seasonal Affective Disorder lights, which mimic daylight, so you can get more sunlight during the day. Katie and I tried out the SAD lamp and an alarm which aims to wake you up with light, rather than an abrasive noise. Both are from Philips. |

- A recent study has found that clothing is the second most common online purchase is clothing, after books at number one. This is despite people predicting just a few years ago that no one would want to buy their clothes without first trying them on. So, do you have an online shopping habit? Answer the poll, and leave us a comment about where you shop, your best and worst purchases and more. |

- Royal College of Art students were set an industrial design challenge by 3 Mobile; they had to deisgn the handset of the future. While some of the prototype designs weren't quite enough to have Apple nervous, others were elegant designs that suggested clever use of likely future technologies. I picked out my favourites as we pottered around, but you can check out these and other design projects at the RCA from today. |

- In the good ol days one would sit in a field surrounded by daisies and dandelions, sighing tearfully into the wind, while questioning the daisy about whether your current love was true.

- This particular gadget made me think of our lovely Zara, who's soon to indulge her beauty gadget fetish as the editor of Kiss and Makeup (but don't worry, we keep her too). It's essentially a waxy shea butter bath which lets you intensively moisturise those hands-that-might -or-might-not-do-dishes. |
