Avoid sunstroke, watch cool video reviews

Crave We can't think of anything to complain about this week. We've been picnicking in the park, taking tramp-strength lager on the Tube for the last time and crowning Manchester United as Premier League champions again (sure, we could easily complain...

Why can't I: Get real-time bus information online?

Wii Fat: How to cheat at Wii Fit

Crave Britain is becoming as bloated as our overseas friends and all it's doing is giving Daily Mail readers more things to complain about. It's no secret that one of America's biggest contributions to Western society has been fat people.

LG KC780: A trimmer 8-megapixel camera phone

Crave We're not sure why LG would introduce two 8-megapixel camera phones so close to each other, but we ain't gonna complain. Mobile phones are like buses: you wait for ages for one to come along and two turn up at the same time, and drive straight past...

Mustek PL8D70: Whack LCD for your car seat back

Photos: Samsung R410 £499 all-round laptop

Crave One of the few things we'd complain about is it having only three USB ports (even an Eee has three), and the analogue-only D-Sub video output. While everyone and his dog is releasing tiny laptops, Samsung is still pouring its heart into mid-sized...

Qstarz Travel Recorder: All-in-one GPS goodness

Crave Admittedly, it is fiddly to geotag pictures -- it involves some quality time with your PC -- but at this price you can't complain. External GPS receivers are pretty handy if you want to turn your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone into a satellite...

Hands-on with the Gear4 Bass Station iPod boombox

Crave But it's loud, and although there's nothing overly impressive about the sound quality, you won't find much to complain about for the price. For those of you who haven't spent the rest of your spare cash on discounted Easter eggs from Woolworths...

Keep on rockin' and rollin' with the Oregon Scientific iBall

BenQ DC X600 proves small is the new big

Crave The level of detail captured was impressive, and unless you're a complete image-quality geek, you won't find many reasons to complain. It helps to have friends in high places. It means we get taken to exotic locations via helicopter to rub...
