“How can an undead villain search for love in the age of tinder? What if you were socially awkward and a monster? Join one sexy vampire – OK maybe not that sexy – as he tries to find the love of his life, again.” That’s the premise of Little Black Lies, a new Irish vampire […]
Looking for an explanation for a 163% rise in sales of pet grooming products, Argos has come up with the answer. It’s all down to animal ‘influencers’, they say, or social petworking – the dog and cat stars of social media. Convinced? Neither are we. But could there be something to it? Human bloggers, Youtubers […]
iPhone 7 is water-resistant to IP67, meaning that it can withstand immersion in water up to 1m, for 30 minutes. But what happens if you drop it in your pint?

They’re the company developing extraordinary robots that can walk and even run. Google acquired them two years ago. This latest video shows an impressive bipedal robot that simply pushes open the door […]
Most people do not read the terms of service associated with the numerous services they sign up to. I know I don’t! But obviously some people have, or maybe Amazon’s legal team either have a sense of humour or way too much time on their hands .. Who knows? In any case the terms of […]
Saoirse Ronan seems to be proving very popular with the US media. She’s been making appearances on a wide variety of high profile shows over the last few months. Her most recent piece, however, involves her trying to teach Americans how to make a cup of tea: Personally I prefer coffee, but I’d be happy […]
