If you have around £5 grand to spend perhaps you could consider the new 'Microsoft Surface' product. Ok, it is early days for you and I to consider owning, but this type of computer interaction is very exciting. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that’s easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. Surface

This Luminous tablecloth, which has fiber optics woven throughout and a choice of stylise cotton borders will lighten up even the most dull dinner party. I am sure will be a talking point. The tablecloth produces a beautiful and dazzling luminous effect in darkness... The suppliers website states "It can be handwashed with natural soap." There was me assuming it was machine washable!

Yet another study stating that online shopping is growing.

Marks & Spencer is planning to tap into the iPod craze by selling a men's suit fitted with touchpad controls. The suit uses hi-tech "smart fabric" technology to build in lapel controls that allow the wearer to jump tracks on their MP3 player without the strain of actually removing the device from their pocket. The “must-have fashion” items will be available from selected stores – the jacket for

Is it me or does this look familiar? Available in different colours, no screen, simple interface... is it the iPod Shuffle. Actually it is the Creative Zen Stones.... If you compare the spec - much the same as those Shuffle's - but wow look at the prices! cheap and cheerful, perhaps you could have one to match every outfit!

I am sure many of you dusted down your barbeques over the Easter break - at times it felt more like the Summer holidays! My barbeque sits behind the garden shed - a pretty basic charcoal model - but it does the job. I wheeled it out today. Tasty. My next door neighbour says I am daft dealing with the mess and hassle of using charcoal. He is a "gas man" - and no i don't mean he fixes your boiler !

I watched An Inconvient Truth on dvd last weekend. Got to say I am no "treehugger" but after watching this docu-film - this certainly made me sit up and think about buying green. The only problem is that most people think that they can make little difference - that may be true. It is however easier to make a difference - when buying your white goods as well as comparing prices - it is easy to

I am sure you can all remember your first video recorder when it was introduced to your household. It was a real revelation having the ability to record programs from the television when you were not in and then watch them when it suited you. After a while everyone took the video recorder for granted and it became an essential part of every living room although it introduced a new set of

Why are apple products so cool? Take the iPod Shuffle for example. The second generation coloured models are so much a fashion accessory. Priced at around £55 they are not in the expensive league but when you compare cost to features for this kind of money I tend to be drawn to the Creative Zen V Plus - this boasts a screen and even video playback for the same price. On the face of it a no

I read with interest that Google's new offering is a cinema film finder - type in your postcode and you easily see what is showing in your area. Yes there are many sites that do the same but as usual Google make it fast and simple.

Is seems the computer industry has been talking about Microsofts new operating for a while now...but finally it is here.
