Dork Review: Wii Shape Up
Right, lets be honest, most of us are going to pile it on this winter. There's too much fun food around to even consider a diet, and there's absolutely no way I'm going to consider any form of exercise more taxing then reaching for the roast potatoes. Easing your way back into an exercise routine … [Read more...]
Doctor Who – The End Of Tennant
So that's it. No more Tennant. Off he goes to America, burning up the TARDIS as he goes and leaving us Nu-Whovians with nothing more than the box-sets to keep us company. Perhaps we will warm to Eleven, the young Matt Smith, but for now, let us mourn the passing of Ten in sombre silence. Or a … [Read more...]

Dork Review: Motorola DEXT Android phone
I recently included the Motorola DEXT in a round up of all the new Google Android phones, and I've finally managed to get my hands on one to test! Based on looks alone, I'm impressed. The phone is smaller and slimmer than the iPhone, its biggest competitor, and the slide aspect gives you access … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Alcatel OT-708 touchscreen phone
Browsing through our other reviews, you might be a little surprised to see an Alcatel phone review. Traditionally, this brand of phone is seated at the low budget end of the market. Basic features for a basic price. Now though, Alcatel are pushing themselves into the high tech market. The … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Krups Dolce Gusto
I have a feeling that most of us, given the choice, would rather pay through the nose to pick up a frothy coffee from one of the coffee shops that dominate the high street, rather than resorting to coffee granules and a bit of hot water at home. It's just a little bit more decadent and a hell of … [Read more...]
