• For adult webmasters who are also Internet radio buffs, ChiliRec.com is the TiVo of Internet radio.

• With virtually all serious adult websites having shifted to some kind of dynamic presentation, security has become more important than ever. FireWallScript.com helps provide a firewall for any site that uses PHP5 as its base code.

• For webmasters who are serious about downloading torrent content, QNap has unveiled its latest NAS drive – a gizmo to help make torrenting as fast as possible.

• LG's OLED TVs will hit stores in 2011, which is sooner than expected.

• For the industry professionals who like to indulge in the finer things in life like motorized lawnmowers and automatica cocktail mixers, here's a roundup of new tech that would look at home in a Sharper Image catalogue.

• Is it ever possible to have too many USB hubs? Never.

• For the frugal adult professional: A new spoon-scale measures its own content down to 1/10th of a gram.

• For webmasters who chat online with colleagues and exchange a lot of photographs, PhotoPhlow.com will help facilitate that.

• AT&T has unveiled a new GPS-enabled BlackBerry.
