The very clever people at Kaspersky labs have announced that they've detected a new worm - to be precise, there are two variants of it, called Win32.Koobface.a. and Win32.Koobface.b. Both of these two viruses target social networking sites, with variant ‘a' working on MySpace, and ‘b' on...
We love the Nintendo Wii here at Laskys. It's a truly fun piece of equipment, and more often than not, it's almost as fun watching people play as it would be when you actually play it yourself. On an office outing, we played a spot of bowling via a projector as opposed to the standard...

A report that's appeared on the BBC website has claimed that the mouse computer peripheral will eventually be replaced by super hi tech alternatives. I was quite taken aback by this statement, as I couldn't really envisage using a PC without one. Fair enough, laptops either have a...
Apple has announced that they will now not be cutting the price of iTunes downloads for UK users to match European prices. On the face of it, this seems like a bit of a joke, but there is a very good reason for it. The exchange rate has effectively meant that UK users are paying the same as...
News circulating around the Internet today says that satellite TV provider Sky have come to an agreement with Sony over the Go!View service that will enable PSP users to watch TV on their console. It's another case of merging technologies and this definitely seems to be a good one....
This morning, many people hoping to get hold of the new iPhone were left disappointed as O2's computer system let them all down. The sudden influx of extra customers wanting to buy the iPhone and O2 contract deal was apparently too much for it and quite promptly broke.
