The designer, whose previous clients include Julianne Moore and Kylie Minogue, has solved a long-running issue for women everywhere, who…
Alienware X51: Big things in a small package
There are some people to whom gaming is not just a game. You know who you are. And you know deep down that it’s *just* a game right? You can have a really engaging round of tiddlywinks if you have the right people. I know you’re shaking your head in disgust so I’ll tell what you want to hear. If you crave power, performance and dizzyingly high framerates from your…
3 Web Cube: Borg-friendly wireless broadband
I’m easily confused. At times when I pick up the small slab of metal and glass in my pocket and have access to the sum total of all human knowledge it feels like I am living in the future. And then I move house and have to wait seemingly forever for a basic internet connection, which even more bizarrely has to come through my landline telephone. What is this the…
PS Vita: High end handheld gaming but strictly for the hardcore
Alright, okay. Calm down! Chillax! What’s all the hubbub about this bloomin’ PS Vita thing then? Well, with on-the-go gaming now done primarily on the good ol’ smart phone device, many other great tech and gadget websites have been arguing that it’s a little bit silly to be producing a brand new hand-held console in the rather sultry shape of the PS Vita. Indeed, first reviews have split opinion right…
IXUS 510 HS and 240 HS: Canon taking advantage of Apple’s domination
When a new camera comes on to the market, it’s a bit like when another car makes its way onto the pages of AutoTrader, there’s so many of them available you don’t really notice it. This is why advertising publications such as AutoTrader offer ‘boxed ads’, with the presumption that an ad in bold with a box around it will be more ‘noticeable’ to the skirting eye of a potential…

Five apps designed to beat the plague of insomnia
According to the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, 25% of the British population suffer from some form of sleep disorder that results in excessive daytime tiredness. With a quarter of the UK in a zombie-like stupor during the day due to severe sleep deprivation, it is no wonder electronic companies and app creators are ‘cashing in’ on our collective condition. If you are in the sleep destitute sector of…
Currys collaborates with fashion designer
We do not usually talk fashion here at LG Towers but London Fashion Week is upon us. To the men reading this, that means catwalk models stomping up and down the runway and you laugh uncontrollably at the insane clothes. If I said there is a dress made entirely of just HDMI cables, would you believe me? In the run-up to London Fashion Week, Sandstrom collaborated with knitwear extraordinaire, Craig…

The Mio Cyclo 305 puts bikers on the map.
We’ve all heard them; the constant whining of cyclists chastising drivers (mainly lorry drivers to be fair) for not giving them enough room on the road. And in many cases they have a point. Having said that, I’m sure we’ve all been cut up by a cyclist at some point too. All in all though they are the poorer citizens as far as road management is concerned. Perhaps now though,…
