Crave TV | 18 January 2008
Do you have serious concerns about your personal safety? Taser International has developed an MP3 player with a built-in taser, guaranteed to instantly transform a potential attacker into a writhing, crippled heap on the floor. Don't believe us?

CES: Kenwood goes to town on a 1956 Chevy Bel Air
Crave TV | 17 January 2008
CNET.co.uk's Rory Reid was caught drooling over this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and for good reason. It may look pretty standard on the outside, but inside it has a fully motorised dashboard. Hit the button on the key fob, and out pops a tray containing an Xbox 360 controller and an iPod nano. From here, you can enjoy a spot of Halo 3 on the 7-inch in-dash display, or bump some 'choons' through the speakers, which seem to be located in every possible orifice of the car.
CES: TV makers strive for skinniest model
Crave TV | 15 January 2008
Although you may not think your current TV is especially lardy, it's inevitable that LCD and plasma technology will become more and more svelte as time goes on. But there are also new technologies that are going to be terribly skinny from day one. OLED, for example, can fit into a case that's significantly shallower than either LCD or plasma. And while large-screen OLEDs are quite a way off, the technology has got everyone excited – CNET.co.uk's Ian Morris takes a closer look.
CES: Watch two things at once with DLP
Crave TV | 15 January 2008
It sounds confusing, but new technology from Texas Instruments brand DLP means you can use one TV to display two totally different signals at the same time. It sounds like witchcraft until you hear about the special glasses. These essentially have an electronic shutter system that blocks out light from the TV 50 percent of the time. This means, using a 120Hz DLP rear-projection TV, you can have two full 1080p signals being viewed by two different people on one TV. CNET.co.uk's Ian Morris investigates.

Crave TV | 09 January 2008
For those of you who've suffered the stress of having a pet go missing, here's something that may well appeal – the Zoombak Pet Locator is essentially a GPS unit you strap to your dog's collar. The system will alert you by text message and email when your pet leaves a designated 'safe area', and gives you the location your happy hound has bounded into, all in real time. You can also log on to the Zoombak Web site and see where your pet is, on-demand. CNET.co.uk got a closer look at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

CES: Alienware's bad boy ALX PC and curved display
Crave TV | 09 January 2008
Alienware wowed CNET.co.uk at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with not one, but two incredible pieces of technology. First up was its 42-inch Curved Display, which redefines the term widescreen. It's curved like an enormous pair of wrap-around shades -- the idea being that it provides a more immersive gaming experience. And last but not least was the Alienware ALX -- which drew a pretty big crowd because of the sheer outlandishness of its specification and the awesome styling of its new P2 chassis. Take a look for yourself...
