Casio Atomic Time Watch

I've seen so many watches lately that record and display all sorts of data that I'd forgotten what a watch is really for: to tell you the time. But how do you make sure your watch has the right time? With Casio's atomic time watch, you don't need to worry about it.

The watch receives radio signals from five atomic clocks across the world, thus ensuring that your watch will tell you the correct time for the next 30 million years. Other features include the usual multiple alarms (4), timer, stopwatch, and solar power!

Sony's latest gun slinger gives it both barrels

Say hello to the new prince of the pistol grips. Sony is taking aim with this fast-shooting light HDR-TG7 compact camcorder and now it’s time to choose your weapon. Building on the success of their previous silver shooter the HDR-TG3, Sony is going head-to-head with the Sanyo Xacti HD2000, by adding a few new features, giving the design a sexy makeover and, in turn, adding a few C notes to the price.

The Sony X-Series Walkman takes aim at the iPod and iTouch, but is Sony about to reclaim its crown?

It's been a long time coming, but we can finally get excited over a Sony Walkman product. The latest incarnation is the Sony X-Series, and it's a corker. Sony's attack on the Apple iPod and iTouch was launched in London today at a special preview on the Underground and is set to hit the shops tomorrow.

The finer features of the TG3 all remain in place. It still shoots Full HD 1920 x 1080i video, boasts a brilliantly smooth and thumb-accessible 10x optical zoom, the same spec Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens, a 4-megapixel still shot camera and the capacity for a 16GB Memory Stick Duo. Improving on the original, Sony has managed to squeeze in a 16GB flash memory (something Sanyo's top shooter lacks), doubling the shooting capacity for around 12 hours of high definition video. This is despite knocking a few millimetres off the overall size, and a couple of grams off the weight. Impressive stuff. The pistol grip design has had a slight makeover also, with more of the body soaked in the tough titanium casing for a sleeker and sexier feel, dispensing with the black plastic back on the predecessor. The simple thumb-operated control system has been further dumbed-down (but in a good way) with a thumb-print sized record button and the zoom wheel located directly above the grip. A problem with the TG3 was it often led to us switching to stills mode instead of zooming, but that has now been solved.

Britain's population of software pirates revealed

Britain is a nation of pirate lovers with more than 25 per cent of the software being used in the UK being sourced illegally, according to the latest annual global IDC software piracy study. The new report, released by the Business Software Alliance (BSA), paints a pretty damning picture of your average Brit's relaxed approach to software rights, with the revelation that 27 per cent of all software on UK computers is pirated. The figures probably won't shock most people, after all the ease of 'borrowing' a copy of Photoshop or Windows from a mate combined with the money saving rewards is a big draw, and increasingly so, to a cash-strapped nation. However it's hitting the industry hard in the pocket with losses in 2008 resulting from the piracy amounting to a record £1.49 billion. According to the BSA Britain stands little chance of forging ahead in IT while this level of software stealing piracy remains at an 'unacceptably' high rate. 'Much more needs to be done by the industry and the government to warn businesses and consumers of the risks associated with under-licensed software, from a legal, financial and operational point of view,' said Alyna Cope, spokesperson for the BSA UK country committee. 'Software piracy hurts our knowledge-based economy by weakening the very foundation on which it is built - respect for intellectual property and innovation.'

I-Knock. Personal Instant Messaging Notifier

Waiting for that person to reply or log on, but cant be tied to the PC? The i-Knock is here to help. When you receive a message, e-mail or when a person logs on, the i-Knock goes to work with aural and visual alerts so youll know even if youre not at the desk.

 

Instant messenger is always a lot easier than having to sit and talk on the phone. However, since it is so casual and just in the home, I have a tendency to get distracted and wander off.

That means I have on occasion forgotten to let the person I’m talking to know that I’m afk. When someone logs on, messages you or even sends you an email this little guy will hammer his head and make some noise.
