Now here's something a little odd. In fact, the more we think about it, the more it doesn't really make any sense at all. Read on, and you'll see what we mean.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Keen to show that it is not just all about its Android smartphone platform, Google has issued a much needed update to its iOS search app, taking what was once something of an also-ran app into one that could easily warrant pride of place on the home screens of many.
Now that's a title we didn't expect to be writing any time soon, but there it is, and unbelievably, it's accurate. Starting tomorrow, buyers will be able to walk into an Apple Store and walk out with a Philips light bulb. Not just any light bulb, though. This one's special. Very special indeed.
If you thought that the Nexus 7 was old news, then we probably wouldn't blame you. Google's tablet has been around for a few months now, and has been met with reaction ranging from those that love it, to those that downright hate it. Today, Google gave the Nexus 7 something of a refresh, adding new options to the lineup in the process.
The LG Nexus 4 is very much real, and Carphone Warehouse in the UK just can't wait to sell it to you according to new photos from one of the company's stores.
If you've ever wondered what a boat would look like if it had Steve Jobs fingerprints all over it, then feast your eyes upon this beauty - the video below shows what is believed to be Steve Jobs' own yacht, recently built by a company in Holland.
We're all more excited about getting our hands on an iPad mini than we would like to admit, and when pre-orders began it became clear we are not on our own.
Google's NFC payment system has historically been an Android-only affair. In fact, not all Android devices can take advantage of the service thanks to the reliance on that NFC chip, as well as the requirement for smartphone carriers to sign off on the technology before it is implemented. Things may be changing though, with the news that a new version of Google Wallet is in the offing.
It appears to be something of a trend these days, but the release of Apple's new iPhone 5 has done nothing but lead every two-bit tech fan with a video recorder to take to YouTube in an attempt to prove, or disprove, that the thing can be scratched. And by scratched, we mean pretty much obliterated.
You remember the ongoing battle between Samsung and Apple over what does and does not constitute patent infringement? You know, the one that ended with Apple being awarded $1 billion in damages and Samsung left to lick its wounds? Bet you thought that was the end of that, didn't you?
