It’s always frustrating when working in tight spaces to try and hold a flashlight while you’re turning a screw. Inevitably, what’s generally easy to do without a flashlight, is darn near impossible when you have to also hold a torch to light your workspace. Enter Gorilla Torch.

Made by Joby, the geniuses behind the Gorilla Pod, a Digital Camera holder that can mount a camera anywhere, the Gorilla Torch is the same kind of idea: a tripod with adjustable segments that enables the user to literally wrap it around anything to hold it in place. It’s LED based light is superbright and also has a built in dimmer switch to adjust to the users liking. It’s weatherproof and operates on thee AA batteries with an average battery life of 20-80 hours depending on how bright you like it.

So, whether you’re working on the pipes underneath the sink or replacing that timing chain in your car, wherever you need light, all you need to do is turn on Gorilla Torch and wrap it around anything nearby adjust the light to shine your way and you’re good to go for hands free lighting. There’s also another feature that can help while working in tight spaces. The footpads of the Gorilla Torch are magnetic, meaning that any nuts or bolts can be within easy reach just by sticking them on the pads.
Cost is around $30, which is a bargain if you’ve ever dealt with juggling tools, lights, and tight spaces!

The internal design architecture of the new PS3 Slim has been revamped from ground up, changing the way the main semiconductors, power supply unit and cooling mechanism look in order to achieve what was thought to be impossible. While the original PS3 held a 60GB hard drive within, this remodeled version holds a 120GB hard drive despite trimming down its internal volume, thickness and weight to 67% of the original. Not only that, power consumption has also been reduced by one-third, further lowering the amount of fan noise in the process. You won’t find a glossy, fingerprint magnet as the surface material here since it relies on a textured surface finish instead to provide an all new impression and a casual look.

North America, Europe/PAL and Asian countries will get the new PS3 Slim from September 1st onwards, while those living in Japan will be able to pick it up a couple of days later. The 120GB PS3 Slim will retail for $299 and euro 299, depending on which region you’re at, while the current 80GB PS3 Phat will see a price drop to US$299 and euro 299 from August 18 and August 19, respectively. In addition, the 160GB PS3 Phat in the US will also see a price drop to $399 on August 18 as well. All PS3 Slims will ship with version 3.0 of the system software to keep it up to date.

LG launched their new Chocolate BL40 widescreen phone last night at a swanky party in the London Design Museum. I was lucky enough to get some time with the BL40 and as you’d expect it excels at displaying video on its 4” 21:9 aspect ratio screen.

The Chocolate uses an updated version of the “S Class” interface used on many of the recent LG phones. The rotating cube has been stretched and now mimics the applications and shortcuts setup on the phone. The interface is noticeably quicker than earlier LG phones such as the Arena I reviewed earlier in the year. This is no mean feat as the Arena is no slouch.

The BL40 isn’t just an awesome multimedia phone though, it also has some other neat tricks up its sleeve. The screen can work in split screen mode for certain applications such as messaging, the scheduler, web browsing and MP3 playback.

Web browsing works well with the panoramic screen allowing many web pages to be displayed full width. Pinch and Pull zoom can be used on web pages and photos. Gesture shortcuts can be setup to access phone applications and one touch copy and paste is also supported.

Although the new Chocolate has a wide screen it isn’t particularly bulky and fitted nicely into the pocket of my jeans. Unfortunately I was spotted before I could leave the venue but we have been promised a review phone a little later in the month.

The BL40 Chocolate should be available from The Carphone Warehouse and Orange from late September.

Can’t get that shot off in time? Get the “Jump” and “self destruct” keys mixed up in your favourite game? This uninspiring box may well have the answer, at least if it lives up to it’s claims.

OCZ, usually associated with high performance memory and PC components are selling this “Neural Impulse Actuator”. Otherwise known as thought control for your PC gaming.

”Yeah, right” I hear you say. Well, if I can get my hands on one I’ll report back but all I can say for now is that they claim you can send simple game signals (run, shoot, jump etc) by wearing the star-trek headband and thinking the appropriate actions. Oh, and training  – you have to get it to recognise your idea of “jump” as opposed to somebody else’s.

You can buy it from Overclockers UK for £86, but it’s currently showing as out of stock.
