Philips SPR550BN: The squid of power awaits you

Crave The Philips SPR550BN also differs from aquatic reality in its colour, which is black, rather than the more realistic white or slightly translucent skin tone of most squid. Water and electricity: that's a winning combination if ever we heard one.

Photos: Citroen GTbyCitroen goes from game to reality

Crave Citroen's just gone up in our estimation -- way up. At the Paris Motor Show today, it announced it would be the first car manufacturer to build a car originally designed for a computer game -- a bleedin' computer game, we tell you.

Starship Troopers 3 Blu-ray: Interactive silliness

Photos: Hands-on with new TVs from Sony

Crave In reality, we don't see much of an advantage to 200Hz over 100Hz, especially given the magic number is 120Hz anyway -- because this is the rate to properly do 5:5 pulldown. As we mentioned previously, Sony is having a good year with cool new...

Photos: Hands-on with the Sony Vaio Z Series (VGN-Z11VN/B)

Crave It makes typing unusual for the first minute or so -- each key feels a little further apart, although in reality they aren't, and mistyping should be reduced as a result. It unveiled to Europe its four latest lines of Vaio laptops -- two aimed at...

Crave In reality, Murdoch will never allow this, and Ofcom is happy to allow him to do what he wants, so you're stuck with an over-priced Sky-branded box, or nothing. You get three tuners in the Panasonic (although in reality the Freeview and analogue TV...

Crave Anyway, back to reality, and while these handsets don't come with touchscreens they're very classy indeed. Yesterday we popped along to the global launch of the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71 -- no, it wasn't the Nokia Tube -- but Nokia did confirm that a...

Sony Soutina: Tubular speaker concept becomes reality

Crave So it is with some surprise that the company has decided to take that rare step and make one of them a reality. Given that concepts are a penny a dozen, it's no surprise that most never make it off the drawing board at most companies -- and Sony is...

Super Hi-Vision: Broadcasters take hi-def even higher

Crave UHD could have some uses though, such as immersive virtual reality -- we're sure there's a pornographic use too. It's no secret that the Japanese are into their high definition televisions -- they've been able to watch HD for years now.
