Apple’s iPad ‘Mini’ Temptation

I’ve always enjoyed miniature versions of things. Party food, little in-flight coke cans, and teeny tiny hotel toiletries are all secret pleasures. Indeed, if I’d taken a tumble down the rabbit hole instead of Alice I’d have been all over that ‘eat me’ cake, and loving my temporary giant status. Therefore unsurprisingly, the prospect of a rumoured ‘mini iPad’ has captured my interest. Online speculation is rife and as always, Apple are keeping schtum. However, the general consensus seems to be that a smaller budget-busting version of the tablet could hit the shelves in time for Christmas. Mock-ups depict...

Pedal Power

It’s not that I’m against bikes per say. I’ll happily hop on one at the gym from time to time and pedal away as if my life (a.k.a. sneaky slice of chocolate cake) depends on it… But taking a leap from the security of static motion towards the very real task of navigating the city via two wheels, has never appealed. Sure it’s good exercise and clearly an environmentally sound option, but it just seems like too much hassle. Not only does one have to invest in the beastly thing, but the worry of finding somewhere to lock it...

A series of limited edition customized tees, guaranteed to get tongues wagging.

Eco-Friendly Arm Candy

We are always trying to do our bit for the environment, so we were excited to hear about The Ludlow Bag Company and their environmentally sound goodies. These talented Shropshire-based specialists craft one-off handbags from recycled and repurposed fabrics. Quite simply genius. There are a variety of original styles to choose from, and you’re guaranteed a one-off due to the way the fabric is sourced! With cute names to match their designs, the ‘Vogue’ is perfect for holding all those essentials, whilst the smaller ‘Venice’ is sure to make a statement. So there you have it: an exclusive accessory that also...

Happy Holidays

As we all breathe a sigh of relief and recover from the excitement of England’s World Cup victory, attention must turn to the all-important task of packing for our summer hols. In order to free up the necessary baggage allowance for all those duty free purchases, a Gok-style capsule wardrobe is clearly the way to go. But when it comes to beachwear, a line must be drawn in the sand: Thou shalt not be caught poolside in the same bikini more than twice. It simply won’t do. The answer? Insight’s super slinky range of swimwear, currently available at www.asos.com....

So You Think You Know Facebook?

Following the emergence of the Web 2.0 phenomenon, Facebook fast overtook YouTube to secure it's position as social networking site of choice. A veritable hub of interactivity; few dispute the platform's value as an information-sharing tool... But are you interested in what lies beneath the facade? The 'Unofficial Facebook Resource' holds all the insider info your heart could desire, including application and page statistics (Michael Jackson is still topping the chart with over 10 million 'fans') and breaking news regarding the Facebook 'powers that be'; such as their recent decision to block an app enabling automation of the permanent profile deletion...
