The Technology Studio in the UK has merged Kinect with a PufferSphere, creating the ultimate replacement for your boss.

Internet Explorer 9 is now finished and ready for download. You’ll need to be running Windows Vista or 7, though.

We admire Razer for the lengths it’s gone to in making this more than just a cash in, it’s a proper tribute. Unless you’re in it for the prettiness though, we’d recommend another mouse for serious gamers.

Sony’s E series are perfectly good budget laptops, with the only real detractors being the screen quality and battery life. But for the price, what you’re getting is a good deal.

In the BenQ BL2400PT you get a VA-based monitor with a heck of a lot of vertical adjustability, deep blacks and a great warranty.

Dell’s new Latitude series is a solid business option that packs in a huge amount of value. The company is clearly adapting to the consumerisation of the business space by including features such as an HDMI port and single 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack, but still provides the support companies need.

HP’s Mini 5103 is a gorgeous, luxury item that makes a netbook desirable again. You’ll still need to ask yourself if the small size is worth the cost; however, for portability, battery life and features, the 5103 is on our wanted list.

If you have the need for Blu-ray burning and don’t have a desktop, at AU$319 it’s hard to say no to this petite multi-format drive.

If you’ve got modest needs (portability but still able to get things done), Sony’s Vaio YB will fit your life perfectly.

Cyborg’s R.A.T. 7 is craziness embodied, and we love it. Customisable to the teeth, it’s only let down by a slightly unpolished software suite. It is an otherwise fantastic mouse; its unique features ensuring that it earns our Editors’ Choice award.

We still like the Vostro as a portable business machine, and the new upgrades make it more capable than before. It’s just a shame about the battery life.

With the rumour mill starting to gear up about the iPad 2, we thought we’d ask you, the readers, what would make your perfect tablet?

While we’d be more comfortable with the Asus G73J, if you’re a gamer who wants to squeeze the most value for your dollar, you may find your goal in the GX660R.

We’ve rounded up our highest-scoring laptops of 2010. Look at the year that was and the year that will be.

Online shopping isn’t the future any more. It’s now. Here are some stores both locally and overseas that will save you significant amounts compared to going to your local shop.

The Pyra is Roccat’s travel mouse, which is even smaller than the Kova. Roccat attempts to make the most of the size by flanging out the base to create thumb and pinky grips, although we found that under extended use the grip is more likely to cause fatigue than a regular mouse.
