Since the Apple vs Android war has officially kicked off, I'd like to pledge my allegiance to Android. I've yet to get my paws on the newest generation of phones, but I'm an avid Google fan and the idea of buying an iPhone leaves me feeling a little blah. After checking out what's currently on … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Motorola Digital Video Monitor MBP35
For those occasions when hearing your baby scream just isn't quite good enough, Motorola brings you a range of Advanced Digital Baby Monitors so you can watch it holler too.

Dork Review: Vlingo voice-to-text service
Voice activated functions on mobile phones are by no means a new development, and on my phone they tend to be sorely under-used. In all honesty, I'm far too self-concious to sit on a train and shout "call home" into my phone. Almost as bad as those people that insist on using their wireless … [Read more...]
Nintendo Wii’s Baby and Me: creepy virtual doll game
I recently sold my Wii after months of it sitting next to the TV gathering dust. Great console, but it just didn't get enough usage. I wonder if this is why the head honchos at Nintendo are reverting back to aiming their games at the much younger age market. Particularly as they seem to dominate … [Read more...]
Dork review: Machinarium (or Dizzy meets Riven)
If you take a bit of Dizzy, a spot of Riven and add a cast of cute, rusty robots, you get Machinarium. It's a beautiful little platform puzzle game for PC, Mac and Linux, which has you take control of a stretchable robot as he wanders through the robot world. It looks lovely, with seemingly … [Read more...]

Audio Chi's W-Series have been designed to maintain studio quality audio in a much smaller package than normal cans. … [Read more...]
PNY’s City Series Micro USB key
See this USB on the right? It doesn't light up, dance when you get an Skype message, or play your favourite music through a pair of minuscule speakers. You won't be able to reheat your coffee on it or engage colleagues in a mini desk game. You see, this USB has successfully side stepped the … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Sonos BU250 wireless music system
Ah, wireless! One of the buzzwords of the noughties, mentioned in the tech world at every opportunity and held up as the ultimate goal for all gadgets. And rightly so. We've all lived under the tyranny of wires and cables for too long. Who hasn't spent 15 sobbing minutes of their life fighting … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Motorola H790 Bluetooth headset
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...]
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...]
