We all want products that are tailored for us; that fit our needs and requirements and express who we are. But what would happen if you wanted a BMW with three tailpipes, a laptop with an embedded e-reader, or a touch screen mobile phone that is moulded like your thigh to fit snugly into your jeans pocket? Even though these products are highly customisable and come in a huge number of different...

Crowdsourcing, often referred to as ‘the wisdom of the crowd’ has been growing from strength to strength for some time. It is a process that involves outsourcing tasks to a broad undefined group of people who then offer their solutions for sale. The notion of harnessing the brainpower of many people to deliver the best solutions is powerful especially when combined with the global reach of the...

We recognised that although the cookbook is still a stalwart in every household, most creative cooks also look elsewhere for that bit of fun,...

The litigious nature of the technology industry was brought into sharp relief by my six year old daughter this week. When her demands to receive an Apple iPad for Xmas from her parents were met with a definitive negative, she explained, very composedly, that this was fine as she would simply ask Father Christmas to make one for her.
Now, I am no patent attorney but if Apple can give Samsung...

The news of Steve Jobs stepping down from the CEO position at Apple is desperately sad. For a man who has achieved so much both with Apple and within the industry to be laid low by illness is heartbreaking, and for it to occur while Steve was in the prime of his creative genius is a tragedy for the technology industry and the world.

Gaming. Even now, after over a decade working in the industry, that phrase makes me think of spotty male teens at a LAN party in Sheffield. But we know from research, and the more recent mass market successes of consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, that women are fast becoming big gamers. So should I know better?According to Lady Geek research, more than half of women are now gaming. However over a...

I must admit that I thought last year was the year of the tablet after we kicked off 2010 unveiling the Dell Streak at CES and Apple created a storm (amidst some initial product naming controversy) with its iPad. Don’t get me wrong – I knew we’d see a lot more tablets at this year’s CES, but I really didn’t expect there to be 80 different tablets on show!
