Bluetooth headsets aren't the most exciting gadgets this planet has seen, what with their ability to turn us all into the sort of loons who shout at themselves on the street. But if you're in the car, you're going to have to get yourself hooked up to a flashing blue earpiece. After seeing my … [Read more...]
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 3
Before Today I was shattered. I had a late night, an early start (yesterday’s pre-coffee cheeriness had vanished; 6am saw me blearily wandering around the house pondering what to do with the toothbrush in my hand) and a long, looooong work day. I was so tired that I could almost hear an angelic … [Read more...]
Lucky Voice Home Mics match Dork Adore’s masthead
And if that's not a good enough reason to write about something, I really don't know what is. For people who love to get roaring drunk and sing with their friends without humiliating themselves in public, Lucky Voice has long been a safe (if pricey) haven. You books your room, you buys your … [Read more...]
Android vs iPhone – it’s the new Jordan vs Peter
You should probably know right now, I use a Macbook. And an iPhone. And I briefly considered buying the new Magic Mouse, even though I work on the sofa, which isn’t massively conducive to miceness (or non-twisted spineness, since you ask). So, yeah. I’d like to protest I’m not a fangirl, but the … [Read more...]

I particularly hate it on public transport when you've got N Dubz blaring into your right ear for three stops from your music-taste-impaired neighbour. Despite this, I've … [Read more...]
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 2
A little experiment tonight: train-based napping. It was a hugely busy day in the office, I had to work late and I was due to spend the evening with a friend. And my lunchtime attempt to nap in the loos ended abruptly when I gave a male cleaner with a master key the fright of his life by perching … [Read more...]
Buying from the US, is it worth it?
Starting to think about Christmas shopping? Perhaps considering looking a little further abroad for ideas than the high street? Buying from the USA can still have its benefits, with products often cheaper thanks to their bulk buying power and and exchange rate that's still working in our favour, … [Read more...]
Etre Touchy gloves for iPhone owners
It’s cold. There’s no escaping it. While hats are good for heads and scarves a necessary neck accoutrement when you’re out and about, gloves and gadgets just don’t go. Ever tried using your mobile while wearing mittens? Not easy. And it’s a slippery job to interact with your iPod when gloved … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Fantastic Mr Fox
Do you remember making mixtapes? I used to spend hours and hours perfecting playlists so each song led on to the next, designing the cover and working out what songs would fit exactly into the gap at the end of each side so nothing was cut off. It was boring and time consuming but totally worth it … [Read more...]

I started out my gadget career reviewing laptops for What Laptop magazine and while the specs may have changed beyond all recognition, knowing how to pick a good one is the same as it ever was. Here are five simple rules to follow when choosing yourself a new notebook. 1. Look beyond the … [Read more...]
