Google Glass - cool or creepy?
It's either the most exciting technology product of recent years, or the 21st Century equivalent of the Sinclair C5.
It promises to reshape our relationship with the online world - or turn us all into cyborgs, invading each other's privacy with careless abandon. Say what you like about Google Glass, it's certainly proved a talking point.

Raspberry Pi gets camera add-on
At first sight, it must be just about the most useless camera you can possibly imagine. To take a picture you have to somehow hold it in one hand while typing a line of code with another and pressing return.
The device in question is an accessory for the Raspberry Pi, the cheap barebones computer aimed at getting children coding. And, on reflection, the sheer nightmarish complexity of making it work may be exactly the point.

BT raises stakes in BSkyB battle
BT has spent a fortune buying the rights to enable it to launch its sports channel, and hiring big names to front it. So how will it recoup its investment if it's now going to make BT Sport free to its broadband customers?
The answer is it won't - in the short term at least - but that's not the aim.

Facebook grows up
Facebook's results last night painted a somewhat mixed picture - advertising revenues growing, with mobile really taking off, but profits lower than analysts had forecast.
One thing was, however, clear. This company is growing in all sorts of ways, and with that comes growing pains.

Unfinished books
How is the digital revolution affecting the book trade?
If you travel on trains packed with commuters staring at tiny mobile phone screens rather than books, or wander along high streets now devoid of bookshops, you might think it was in a sorry state.

A lost bag - returned by the open web
It's become a commonplace event - someone loses something valuable on public transport and then uses the power of social media's network effect to get it back.
But what is interesting about the case of Ramzan Karmali and his missing wallet is that, to put it politely, his network is minuscule.
