Dialogue Box | 01 April 2008
If you want to be green, you should give your website a black background. True or false? ZDNet.co.uk's Rupert Goodwins and Charles McLellan don their white coats and get up close and personal with monitors to investigate for this environmentally friendly episode of Dialogue Box.

Movie Review: Lars and the Real Girl
Reel Weekend | 28 March 2008
The tale of a man and his relationship with a life-size sex doll is not what you'd immediately consider could make a genuinely moving love story, but Lars and the Real Girl somehow manages to combine humour with a poignant look at loneliness and the fragility of the human mind. The emotionally troubled Lars meets Bianca, the girl of his dreams, however unfortunately for Lars he believes she's a living, breathing human being...
Album Focus: Foals – 'Antidotes'
Encoded | 27 March 2008
This week we're having a journey into Antidotes, the new album from indie hypemongers Foals, which promises to be a killer release for 2008. From album opener 'The French Open' through to closing track 'Tron', Antidotes is a journey through precise, intricate, layered instrumentation, which despite having plenty of chin-scratching moments, still packs enough of a bassy, snarey kick to keep the kids dancing.
Video View: Supergrass, Johnny Flynn and John & Jehn
Encoded | 26 March 2008
Nate Lanxon is back with three fine new music videos, packaged up in a perfectly wrapped parcel for you to view. First up is Supergrass – no, they're not dead – with their new track 'Bad Blood', which sees them go from normal to weird in the space of three minutes; closely followed by Johnny Flynn, with his cute, quirky take on 'Leftovers'; and bringing up the rear are those French romantics John & Jehn, who sing about '20L07', which is all about love... and stuff. Enjoy!
Dialogue Box | 26 March 2008
Dialogue Box's Rupert Goodwins is on his own in the studio this week, as Charles McLellan jets off to the West Indies – so he says... In actual fact that sneaky technician is just a few yards away, but the duo are testing telepresence, or to be more specific the benefits of the LifeSize Express, the company's mid-range video-conferencing kit. Is it worth the £3,500 it retails for?
Ford Focus Titanium 1.8 TDCi: The hatchback gets a facelift
Car Tech | 26 March 2008
In this episode of CNET.co.uk's Car Tech, Rory Reid looks at the 2008 Focus Titanium 1.8 TDCi, which boasts a new front grille, a more muscular rear end and a more dynamic, modern aesthetic. However it's not all improvements. Why is the sat-nav haunted? Why is the main information display the size of a wrist watch? Why is the 1.8-litre diesel engine so keen to stall at inopportune moments? Click the player and take a look...
Reel Weekend | 20 March 2008
The Orphanage is very much in keeping with producer Guillermo del Toro's brand of chiller, which blends visceral shocks with moving character-based drama. It's the story of a couple who decide to reopen an old orphanage, but find their lives torn apart when their adopted son goes missing. In general it relies on a build-up of tension and uncomfortable psychological anguish rather than traditional shocks, however it does contain one of the single best jump-out-your-seat frights since Carrie decided that being buried wasn't much fun after all...
Album Focus: Neon Neon – 'Stainless Style'
Encoded | 20 March 2008
This week we get shiny, bright and super non-stick with Neon Neon, whose debut album Stainless Style has just been released. Neon Neon is a collaborative project between Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys and electro pioneer Boom Bip, who first hooked up a couple of years ago when Gruff provided the vocal for Boom Bip's track 'Dos and Don'ts.' Now they've decided to do a whole album together and roped a load of their pals in to help, and the result is one of the most infectious, accessible and ultimately poppy albums that you'll hear this year.
Movie Review: Meet the Spartans
Reel Weekend | 20 March 2008
Meet the Spartans is, without doubt, the worst film we've reviewed on Reel Weekend to date. It's the latest in a line of comedies that began with Scary Movie and can only end when the likes of Friedberg, Seltzer and the Wayans brothers are publicly hanged. Like its predecessors, it has a habit of replacing actual jokes with irrelevant references to recent pop culture, and to top it off, finds it necessary to explain those references seconds after they've been screened...
