In our two Crimbo competitions so far, you've had to rely upon your Photoshop skillz (or lack thereof), or commenting prowess. This time, all that's required of you is some basic knowledge of the world of technology -- specifically, we want to know what gadget or tech you're most looking forward to seeing in 2013. Easy, right? Well, it will be, if you've been paying attention during Giz Class this year. Read More >>

Hailing from a country a good day's flight away, I've become pretty familiar with the various "entertainment systems" (if you can call some of them that) airlines offer their passengers. You're probably familiar with that sinking feeling when you discover a plane doesn't have on-demand movies, resulting in another 108 minutes to start watching your chosen time-waster from the opening scenes?

So your Photoshop skillz are a bit rusty, but you pride yourself on leaving acerbic barbs of wit in the commenting fields of Giz UK? Our next Crimbo Challenge is for you. Read More >>
Last Monday, we asked you to peer behind you at the big tech stories of 2012, and Photoshop the heck out of one of them for a chance to win a Sony Xperia S. If you're particularly fond of the sharp end of a stick being pointed Apple's way, step on over... Read More >>
Every week in the run up to Christmas, the Giz Santa will rifle through her desk drawer and produce a different mobile for a good little boy or girl. But unlike the fat man who shimmies down your chimney, Giz Santa actually requires you prove your worth with a new challenge every week. This week's challenge? Why, you need to dust off your Photoshop skillz by illustrating your favourite tech story of 2012. Read More >>

As expected, Skyfall stormed the cinemas; broke some records, and even had a few of us reaching for our tissues during that scene. While the rest of us are now looking forwards to The Hobbit, opening next month, one talented Giz UK reader will soon be receiving a pretty unique Skyfall souvenir -- designed by their own fair hands in our 3D Printing Challenge.

It's a good thing the people at Nokia have a great sense of humour, because after seeing their beloved Lumia 920 dragged through the battlegrounds of Photoshop (and in some cases, MS Paint), I wouldn't be surprised if they started feeling a little sensitive. Nonetheless, the winner is... Read More >>
Betcha any amount of money that the furtherest phrase from Jamie Oliver's mind when Alan Carr surprised him by shoving a vibrator in his mouth during a Chatty Man cook-off was "that's pukka!" Take a look at the video below for 24 seconds of chuckles -- believe me, it's worth enduring the two prats for the pleasure of seeing the cockney TV chef spluttering in horror. Read More >>
While the lack of Spotify and Instagram apps has meant I've not changed over to Windows Phone 8 myself, if you're equally as addicted to Skype, then you've got no reason not to switch platforms, as an early preview version of the VoIP app is available from today. Read More >>
HP's partnership with Universal Music was unveiled several months back, but it's taken until now for the full bevy of info-children to tumble out: basically, HP Connected Music will be pre-loaded onto all of HP's Windows 8 computers, offering up free streaming access to Universal (and EMI's, don't forget) entire catalogue of music, plus a bunch of rewards (exclusive gigs; VIP trips etc).

Stop looking down at your phone as you walk, and start gazing up at the buildings around you -- in particular, at the more "modern" ones. For that is the theme of our current Shooting Challenge...modern architecture! You have until Monday 29th to get your entries in for that, and for our Photoshop Challenge, where can win you a Nokia Lumia 920. So scoot! [Shooting Challenge and Photoshop Challenge] Read More >>
If you put two and two together and count four, then well done -- you probably had enough brains to figure out that EE would be supporting the two latest iPads with its sweet 4G flavours. Confirmation was received from the network today, so if you really want a taste of 4G on a 'Pad, this is the only way to get it. Read More >>
