The green brigade aren't usually the ones trying to convince us to go anywhere fast. Being eco-friendly usually goes hand-in-hand with looking stupid in a recyclable car going a stunning 5MPH.The same can't be said of the Ecotricity Greenbird team, however, who are currently hunkered down in central nowhere trying to beat the land speed record for a wind-powered vehicle.On Lake Lefroy, Australia,

Rather than opt for something cool like Cybershot or Exilim, Olympus continues to coin their otherwise awesome compact camera range mju. Why?Anyway, the latest, the 1060 has the specs to overcome the mickey-taking and a sexy blue-green body to attract a few wolf-whistles in the process.From September £259.99 of your English squids will get you 10-megapixels and a sizable 7x Optical zoom with

Mind-altering drugs, without the side-effects? Count us in, as long as we don't have to meet some shady character down a smelly back-alley.Companies such as i-Doser are springing up across the internet, who claim to use "proven, scientific and safe methods of synchronising your brainwaves" to bring on feelings of certain drugs. All through the use of binaural beats, buried within MP3s and CDs.Peop

Getting about is expensive. In the days of pre-combustion engine yore, it would take seven long days to get from London to Lincoln on horseback (probably), but your mode of transport would've done it for free. Nowadays buying even a cheap motor will set you back several grand, and then what with tax, insurance, petrol costs and congestion charge it's a wonder how anyone can afford anything other t

It's the Olympics, and Team GB are doing rather well. So well in fact, that instead of listening to Gabby Logan's benign banter in an effort to forget the games are even on, we're actually running features that coincide with them. Huzzah!As it stands (at the time of writing) we're twiddling our contentedly knackered thumbs at 16 Golds. That's more shiny yellow medals than any British team since 19

Not wanting to be left out of the snap parade, Casio has announced its new range of EXILIM cameras to get you papping.On top of the pile is the Casio EXILIM-Z300, snapping at the heels of the Sony T700 , it's a 10.01-megapixel mamma, with a bodacious 3.5-inch LCD screen for you to peruse your drunken antics from the night before.If you do find a snap of you looking more Chad Kroeger than usual, ge

Has all that Olympic success pushed you a step nearer buying a bike? Well, just in the case those underworked legs aren't up to it, you could go for the lazy option - the Powabyke X-6 bicycle.Yes, to the untrained eye, this is your average cycle, ideal for that short commute or country ride, not to mention a much-needed bit of exercise. But wait, this isn't as it seems. That water bottle hides a s

Snowboarders and skiers love their wearable tech. If they're not hiding iPod controls in their jackets, they're popping digital cameras in their beanies. They'll be stashing iPhones in their earmuffs next, you know. Well, actually they won't; they'll be looking for these Swany g.cell Bluetooth enabled gloves - fully functioning 'handsfree' mitts that contain an integrated mic and earpiece, with f

Some might say 'dull', but we prefer the word 'classic' when it comes to Ricoh's compact range, newly-extended with the introduction of the Ricoh R10.In some ways, this is your average compact snapper of 2008, packing the almost standard 10 megapixel sensor, 3-inch LCD screen, anti-shake (via the CCD-shift image stabiliser function), face recognition, an ISO of up to 1600, and a battery that offer

Brazilian automotive designer, Andrei Franca, dreamt up this conceptual Peugeot for the 4th Peugeot Design Contest. It is named the Peugeot 360, not because it is liable to start flashing red and breakdown, but because it ditches traditional, circular wheel design that has served humankind so well for seven thousand years in favour of three spheres. Three domes each house an electric engine that i
