It seems that there’s a new phobia sweeping the UK and it’s called nomophobia. Nomo, short for ‘no mobile’, is apparently reaching danger levels in the UK and half of you tend to panic when you can’t use your mobile phone. Is this still April Fools Day?
In a YouGov survey of over 2,000 people last month, on behalf of the Post Office, more than 13 million UK phone users fear being out of mobile phone contact. Some even more than visiting the dentist, which just can’t be right. Haven’t you seen Marathon Man?

Yamaha was the first company to plough the new trend for surround sound bars and the company is expected to release a new one this May.
Targeted at those that want a simple, clean, wire-free – albeit pseudo-surround - system in their living room, the YSP-600 will cost around £500, is 1080p compatible and sports two HDMI In and 1 HDMI Out ports. It's also smaller than its cousins for less conspicuous postioning.

Experts contributing to the report claimed that youngsters are at risk from ‘sexual grooming’ by paedophiles, bullying and online fraud.

I realise most men seem to think that all women want is flowers and chocolate - and diamonds [that one is true] - but there is a third option: gadgets. Women love them these days as much, if not more, than us so what better way of showing your love and affection than by getting her a gadget that is actually really useful at the same time.
This is the 360 Mirror and its usefulness is instantly obvious - even to someone like me whos minimalist hairstyle can be summed up by the term 'Number 1'.
