Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi is a novel, brilliant idea. A cheap $25 computer that will help re-invigorate people’s (particularly children’s) interest in computers – the hardware, software and in programming. You can put free versions of Linux onto it, and there would be programming packages available too. There’s no better way to learn about computers than a [...]
Creative EP-830 Headphones
The Creative EP-830 is a mid-range price set of in-ear headphones. I’ve previously reviewed their Aurvana In-Ear2 which is at the high end so this will provide a useful comparison. Unfortunately, between both reviews I have been spoilt by, what I believe, are the best headphones I’ve owned – the free set that came with my Samsung [...]

Tablets and Laptops to Watch in 2012

Already, much talk and practice has been had with tablets as a business tool to replace laptops while the normal consumer like a [...]
800dpi Precision Optical Mouse

Walking into PoundWorld today I say an optical mouse – for 1 [...]
Sony PlayStation Vita
I have in my hands Sony’s latest portable console, the PlayStation Vita. There are 2 versions available – 3G and wi-fi. The latter, as you can imagine, is cheaper and is the version that I have a . It was launched in Japan back in December and today to the rest of the world. I pre-ordered [...]
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D
Before I start I should really point out that I’m a rarity. I don’t mind Jar Jar Binks. Having said that my daughter doesn’t either – she finds the young “Annie” far more irritating. So, having put that into context, I don’t mind The Phantom Menace. I do think it’s the weakest of the Star [...]

Raspberry Pi – Feedback from my review
Since my Raspberry Pi review I’ve had some comments (and, I suspect, more to come) critisising my poor review of the product. The first one I answered personally but after the second person made different arguements but I would have answered them in an almost identical way I thought a seperate article may be appropriate, explaining in a lot [...]
