Whilst it’s our intention to continue posting through the festive season as best we can – allowing for periods of apparent lack of activity due to excessive alcohol consumption and the traditional bout of food poisoning occasioned by my wife’s continued attempts to craft a Christmas dinner that doesn’t result in us all having to visit our local casualty unit to get our stomachs pumped (think yourself lucky that you’re not invited) - we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all, wherever you may be in the world, a very merry and, above all, a very peaceful Christmas.

With digital photo frames proving evermore popular, Mustek have taken what, in hindsight, is the somewhat logical step of fusing a digital photo frame with an iPod dock to produce the PF-i700 widescreen multimedia digital photo frame which, apart from displaying photos, can also play video clips and music streamed directly from your trusty iPod or from files stored on a broad range of compatible memory cards.

When you have a cell phone branded with company name like JCB, who are best known for their bulldozers, diggers and all things predominantly yellow and seriously mean, it’s safe to assume that this is one mobile device that’s not going to shy away from more than its fair share of knocks and scrapes whilst making fairly lurid and suggestive remarks at any slinky LG phone that happens to pass on by – and you’d be right.

An ideal and rather fun gift for someone you know whose somewhat of a movie buff or for someone whose aspires to make it in the movies, this Digital Clapperboard Alarm displays the time in a 24 hour format (complete with seconds and even deci-seconds) as well as the date and even utilises the clapperboard motion to silence the alarm.

It’s been a while since we’ve featured a cushion here at TFTS but we simply could not pass up on posting about this unequivocally geeky Dosugus Cushion designed by Vasily Dubovoy from none other than Art Lebedev which comes with what appears to be a DOS directory listing printed on its fabric which, if you read the directories listed actually offers a few somewhat tongue in cheek surprises.

Regular readers will know that we have a particular liking of spy gadgets, especially innocuous spy cameras that are designed to look like everyday objects, and, when it comes to office spying, this desktop calculator - just like the previously featured Spy Tie and the Concealed Camera Spy Pen - is sure to blend in beautifully whilst keeping tabs on your co-workers or employees.

Whilst gaining access to internet radio stations via your computer is extremely easy, perhaps you would like to hear your favourite web based radio broadcasts freed from the shackles of your PC or Mac, say on your home hi-fi system – the Revo Mondo Internet Radio adapter with its integral Wi-Fi connectivity offers just such a solution.
