12 Days of Gadgets #2 : Playstation 2

Yes you heard me correctly PS2, not it’s overpriced, planet-damaging brick of an older brother the PS3. So why would I be telling you to go out an buy a console that has nearly been around for a decade? Well that’s exactly it, the fact that it has been around for so long means number one they’re as cheap as chips and two you can pick up games on eBay for 99p. Not to mention that the slimline model is gorgeous and the fact that it is still out selling the PS3 means that it is still a force to be reckoned with. Plus with fabulous games like Buzz and Singstar it’s a invaluable addition for family fun this crimbo. Go on, go retro!

Tickets Please!

Next time you’re stuck in traffic or are being cut up on you bike please spare a thought for these poor sods. Microsoft employees in Asia can never say that they’re late because the missed the bus because the office is the bus. Happy trails.

12 Days of Gadgets #1 : The new MacBook

I’ve been trying to avoid it but it’s impossible to avoid that it is that ghastly time of the year again. It’s not so much ‘bah humbug’ but FFS it starts earlier and earlier every year. So if you can’t beat em, join em. That’s why over the next couple of weeks I’ll be bringing you the 12 hottest bits of tech one of which you just have in your sack.

First up, it’s been a long time coming, it’s the new Apple MacBook. Released last month I managed to get my hands on one the other day and it was sooo worth the wait. Beautifully encased in aluminium, gorgeous glossy screen and the killer - the glass multitouch track pad. It’s a dream to use (once you get over the multi finger gesture fuss) and super fast. So far separated from the previous model it’s a must have especially if you are ready to switch to Mac. UEA students and staff are eligible for some fab discounts.
