“There are countless headphones on the market that produce very high quality sound and exceptional bass. Although, there are next to no earphones that can match that headphone quality. Let's face it, a stylish digital audio player and large headphones don't mix. So what's the solution to great bass and overall excellent sound quality when on the go?...”

Does size matter? The eternal question and if you asked any woman, chances are she would say yes, if only to deflate your ego. In the land of big screen TV's bigger is definetly better. Who wouldn't want the cinema experience from the comfort of the front room. Technology is moving so fast the standard size is 32 inches with 42 inch plasmas the norm and you won't have to upset the bank manager.

But what about if you fancy something just a little bit bigger but don't want a great big 60 incher stuck in the corner. Enter the LG AN110DLP wide screen front projector. The first of its kind and a must have for any self-respecting movie buff who needs the popcorn experience without the cinema seats.  This projector is the first in the world designed to be mounted on the wall and it is only 92.2 mm thick.

Read on for our full look at this exciting new product from LG Electronics.  

"Panasonic today has announced it will formally enter the high-margin digital SLR camera market. For years, the company manufactured enthusiast-level cameras in the form of the popular Lumix series. To extend that family even further, Panasonic is introducing the new Lumix DMC-L1, its first digital SLR. The new camera will be introduced at a price of $1,999 and ship with a Leica D Vario-Elmarit lens 14-50mm/f2.8-3.5 lens"

This new camera sports a unique dust reduction system that could be the key to the long standing problem of dust sticking to the sensor of digital SLR cameras. Panasonic claims to have solved this problem with a "Supersonic Wave Filter system" which uses supersonic vibration (mmmm....nice!!) to shake of any dust sticking to the sensor. This is good news for SLR users who are worried about dust entering the camera while changing lenses.

If your PC has slowed to a crawl, error messages and blue screens of death are the norm or your computer just seems to have lost it's edge, help is at hand. Uniblue have some nifty registry booster software to give your operating system a complete overhaul.

"Even new PCs start to slow down and not work properly with extended use. The symptoms could be error messages, crashes, decreased performance and more. Most of the time these problems are software based and caused due to corrupt registry entries or settings, bad or unused drivers and residual files. Computer downtime can be very stressful and annoying, but thankfully Uniblue came up with a solid solution for this problem. Formerly known as LIUtilities, Uniblue was founded in 1999 with the objective of delivering data protection and recovery solutions for both personal and business use. Uniblue Registry Booster is an easy to use and flexible program for clearing and repairing the registry and fixing errors."

While it can't turn your PC into a mega gigahertz monsta it might just help prevent hair loss from the OS gremlins.

If you need to replace your old salsa and beer covered keyboard, Logitech have a LCD keyboard to impress your mates at the next LAN party.

"The LCD screen was the main thing that peaked my interest initially. When opened, the hinged screen at the top center of the unit can be used to show time, date, cpu usage, ram usage, current song playing and in game stats depending on the game. These are far more useful options than I thought they would be. I really liked seeing the details from Real Player under my currently running apps. The play, pause, stop and track buttons were probably the best feature of the entire keyboard."

We can't decide at MaXit if this is cool or plain stupid. Why on earth would you need a LCD on a keyboard? Okay, overclockers and gamers might find the extra stats useful like game stats, cpu useage but can it show pictures of Salma Hayeks boobs on demand. You'd better check out the review before we get carried away with more nonsense.

Picking up where Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner left off, German company ESG has developed a rigid wing system to allow special forces paratroopers to glide at high speeds for great distances away from their drop-off point before opening their parachutes.

That's right: Batwings!

OK, so, these are cool:



"Dual independent skate connected by the body of the rider with a sideways stance.

"The Freeline Skates TM are ridden skateboard/snowboard-like.

"Riders can achieve high levels of traction and carve smooth 'S' turns while riding downhill and dance like a fish on the flats and uphill.

"The Freeline Skates TM are extremely portable making them the smallest and lightest form of transportation."

So sayeth the Freeline Skates website. But do they work?
