Weekend Gadgets: The Tattoo Hero And His Audio Cables

4:38PM Nick Broughall | Last week, while watching an extremely disappointing movie on Blu-ray which won’t be named for fear of inadvertantly promoting it, my receiver switched off on its own, naturally at the film’s climax. At first I thought it had just overheated, but after a bit of playing around, I discovered that one or more of the speaker cables had short circuited.

4:45PM Nick Broughall | In the craziness that was Microsoft’s Windows 7 launch yesterday, I received a little delivery. As I tore open the box marked ‘Amazon’ with excitement, I was trying my best to contain my excitement. As the Kindle appeared, resplendent in its shiny cream plastic and brushed aluminium back, I allowed myself a grin, because I’ve been waiting for this frickin thing for too long. More »
