The lav nav is a great product that will guide even the sleepiest members to the intended target. Fitted to the underside of your toilet lid, small LED lights sense someone approaching and act as a landing strip to ensure the...

Where would we be without the computer mouse. That little disposable piece of modern technology that is used by hundreds of millions each day. Here at GadgetFreaks we took a bit of a peek about the net to see what’s new and wierd as we bring you ‘Five Nice Mice’.
1- The Origins Of The Species.
According to Wikipedia, the mouse was invented in 1963 by Douglas Englebart. It was a rather ungainly device ( see below ) which used a large wheel and was constructed of wood. The builder of...

Well it would seem we got some incorrect information here at Gadget Freaks. We posted on April 28th that the composer of the Doctor Who theme, Tristram Cary, had died. While it is true that Mr. Cary sadly passed away it is not true that he was the actual composer of the theme. Cary was a composer on the show but wrote the underscore not, as wrongly reported in the media, the theme track.

None of my mates had one so I've never actually used one but at the time, I thought they'd be way better than a hypercolor t-shirt, transformer or a Rainbow Brite lunch box.

If like me (and most of the Reevoo office) you were not designed for mornings, this gadget could well be life-changing. The Flying Alarm Clock is almost certainly a revolution in bedroom wake-up calls - and reviewers seem to like it too.
At the prescribed hour, the top of the alarm clock takes off into the air, and you have a limited time to return it to the clock's base - before it emits an almighty submarine-worthy wake up call!
The alarm clock has been variously described in genuine...

Must have these. If only they were gas-powered... Also known as "Air Kicks" – a name that is no match for “anti-gravity boots” – these new bipedal extensions promise to revolutionize the way we get from point A to point B, as well as the way we receive compound fractures. Price you pay for fun though, right? Here’s how they work: high-impact rubber springs provide the pop, which is supposedly easier on your joints as well as a great workout. They strap onto most sneakers much like a ski...
