$39k for a bugatti bicycle anyone? (yes that's the actual link)

http://pg.de/

Looks nice. I'll have one in Etienne Salome's colours please.

Look at the cable run for the brake ... uugh!! for 39k that is not good enough!

And for that money you get an 'urban' bike not intended for use on public roads.

I wonder if they can match the colour of my chocolate fire guard?

That cable run for the brake, ewwwww! A 3 year old could do a better design job on that. I'm not sure about the single chain stay and single seat stay either, I suspect that frame will have a lot of flex around the rear hub meaning it might not be ride-able anyway!

Its got a brake, its actually road legal in the UK!

As it's an estate with 2 year's main dealer warranty, I think I convinced SWMBO that is was not frivolous in the slightest...

Excellent work!

Apparently it's not just PHers buying this stuff...

The last line says "LEGO and Star Wars appear to be favourites for the more mature toy buyer."

Bought myself a 911 RS 3.0.....just need to build it now. Not the best kit but gives me something to do. Do I need it, no. Do I have a number of other kits waiting to be built. Yes.

Linx Vision 8 tablet

Been wanting one for a while but they have always been £100-£150. Got a like new one for £70 from Amazon (same price on ebay) a couple of days ago and happy to report back that it streams Xbox One very well. Installed Steam and Origin and started to download some previously purchased PC games which seem to be working ok.
Tonight I will be testing PS4 streaming as they have an app for that on the Sony website.

It hasn't arrived yet, but after a few months of waiting, got the email to say it has been shipped!

Bugger, missed that the first time, how is it?

Did it ever turn up - seems to be some unhappy customers on indiegogo page?

yes, it is very good - no problems with mine, although I did have a friend whose binder had pulled the rivet out - I believe they are working to resolve these - but I am happy with mine.

Called into Curry's to price a new freezer, noticed how much the sonos play 1 had gone up. While passing along the aisle spotted the Bose version and went home to check for reviews etc then remembered about the denon so called into richer sounds.
Originally wanted something like this about a year ago and ended up with a play 1 and a Bose mini instead because nobody did a WiFi/Bluetooth/aux in connected speaker.

Just ordered one of them Sphero BB-8 App Enabled Droid currently £50 on amazon for prime members.

Cool. How is the head stuck on to the body to allow that movement?

Couple of wheels to allow head to roll over the body, and a firm magnet to hold it there. Inside the main body the guts of it is basically in a fixed orientation staying roughly vertical with wheels to push the sphere around. Towards the top of the inside is a magnet attracting the one in the head, so the head stays roughly aligned on the top of the internal main machine, just the sphere of the main body rotates between them.

It is pretty neat though (and annoys the dog no end)!

Not sure, 2015 does though:

You can stream from a PC though so if you can run it on another system at home that may be an option.

Also, PS4 streaming worked fine, played some drive club using a PS4 controller plugged in to the micro USB port.
