Earlier this year the BBC announced that its iPlayer service would be launched as an app for those not in the UK. The Global iPlayer app was said to be subscription based due to other countries not paying the UK TV license fee. The new iPlayer app has now been launched.

If you don't like the idea of germs living under the keys on a computer keyboard then the Slim Cool Plus Keyboard could be just what you need.
From what the company say, the keyboard has a completely sealed surface that prevents germs and other bacteria from living on the keyboard. As well as being sealed, the keyboard is also waterproof allowing you to easily scrub it down if needed. [click to continue…]
Roots and Wings Co have created a detailed tutorial that gives all the steps you need on how to make your own soap bars that look like bricks of Lego.
The mold that created the bricks was made of urethane and was shaped around actual Lego bricks. By attaching the real Lego bricks to a surface and building up surrounding walls it allows the liquid urethane to be poured and left to set. Once the mold is created it allows for soap to be poured and again left to set creating some colourful Lego soap bricks. [click to continue…]
This Sega Genesis controller is a bar of soap that you have to admit, looks like the real thing. It weighs under 9 ounces and is the latest in line to a bunch of other console controller soaps that have been around on Etsy
The soap is made of natural and vegan products which means no animal products/testing have been used or done. Ingredients are listed below... [click to continue…]

If you have ever wondered what Microsoft Office will look like in 10 years time (no, I haven't either), but if you have... then this little presentation could be a glimpse of where Office is heading. I have to say it does look quite cool. [click to continue…]
The Optimus mini three has had a little bit of hacking done to it by Scott Hanselman. Scott managed to put some code together to display an AVI movie on one of the tiny screens. I am sure that this was no easy task and shows what can be done with technology. Allowing others to hack around with code allows for a lot more then the usual stuff to be done. Check out the video after the jump to see what it's all about.

We have finally spotted some pictures of the PSP with a GPS unit attached and also the camera. No details have been given, but it's a step forwards to these becoming available on the Sony PSP.
Edit: The GPS is now available at Play-Asia and costs $59.90.
The Camera is also available at Play-Asia and costs $49.90. The camera is not region restricted.
As we all should realise, the GPS and camera attach to the USB connector at the top and provide extra functionality to the PSP. The GPS unit will have software available for navigation, and I am sure Sony will have a few other tricks up their sleeves like for tracking by transmitting signals via wi-fi or something. With the power and connectivity that the PSP has we can expect some good things.
The camera also will be used as an Eye Toy for the PSP. The Eye Toy is a weird kind of controller that some find annoying, and yet others like my self find incredibly entertaining. It ads a new element of fun although I am not sure how it will convert over to the PSP format and it's small screen. Maybe it will literally track your eye and your blinking patterns or something 
Anyway, I am rambling.
Enjoy the pics
