Looking for a gift for dad this Father's Day? Here are a couple of options.

Edifier Luna 5 Encore iPod dock

This speaker system is easily one of the most stylish audio docks for dad.

With a dock that accepts iPhones and iPods, the device also comes with an aux in cable for playing tunes from non-Apple devices, and an FM radio with several slots for presets.

Santa Claus will be paying a little extra this year for parts used in his workshop due to devastating flooding in Thailand that is driving up the price for gadgets.

Over 300 people dead, millions of lives affected, more than $5bn in damage, and 14,000 factories shut down as industrial estates drown under three meters of water. The floods in Thailand have been called the worst ever, and their effects are being felt as far away as North America, in the supply chain. 

Google has beat Apple to the realm of cloud music – a service where your tunes are available to stream from the web wherever you go. But in doing so, Google has launched its music service with a bit of controversy.

Have you backed up your data lately? If not, and you have any important information languishing on your hard drive, today might be the day. March 31 is World Backup Day, and a bunch of people who are worried about your data are urging you to make the effort.

How did the video get posted if the laptop was nicked?

Should Flickr users be worried? Hundreds of thousands of people use the photo-sharing service to store and share their pictures, but some are worried that its future may be in jeopardy.

While Apple’s iTunes is one of the most popular music players on Windows and Mac computers, it has one problem – you can only synchronize its music library with iPods and other Apple devices.

DoubleTwist, however, is a free program that lets you sync your iTunes collection with non-Apple gadgets for free.

I’d like to think computers have that new-car smell, except it’s in the form of the user experience. Everything is fast and the hard drive is pretty free to read and write however it wants.

But after a while things start to bog down. Opening up that favourite birthday picture saved deep within My Documents takes three times as long and there’s that vcation video wich takes so much time to export you could squeeze in a nap.

If your computer is a few months or a few years old, it’s best to defragment it regularly. While you can use the tool built into Windows, there’s a free program that I think does the defrag job as efficiently as the German rail system. It’s called Disk Defrag from Auslogics.
