| Everything’s Worth A Rant: David Mitchell’s SoapBox on YouTube [Stuff to Watch] Posted: 16 Dec 2013 05:30 PM PST  Sometimes, when life gets you down, there’s nothing like a good whinge to take the edge off. That’s precisely the premise behind British comedy web series David Mitchell’s SoapBox. Mitchell is probably best known for his role as hapless office drone Mark in the popular sitcom Peep Show, and has built up a reputation among the British comedy circuit for his sharp wit and well-spoken deliveries. Initially written for the web, SoapBox experienced enough success to see a DVD release, airtime on TV and four series worth of moaning. That means you should probably watch a few, and subscribe on YouTube... Read the full article: Everything’s Worth A Rant: David Mitchell’s SoapBox on YouTube [Stuff to Watch] |

| The Most Significant New Hardware Products Of 2013 Posted: 16 Dec 2013 11:00 AM PST  The big surprise of 2013 was that Apple didn’t wow us with any revolutionary hardware. Instead, the year was marked by valiant efforts from smaller companies like Pebble and Leap Motion, comebacks by old stalwarts like BlackBerry and Motorola, and capped by the launch of next-gen consoles. And perhaps most surprisingly, the best gadget of the year was the cheapest: Google’s incredible little Chromecast. For a list of the best new hardware products of 2013, we tried as much as possible to focus on “new”. The gadgets had to do something others didn’t do, or offer it at a ridiculously...
