Notice anything different about us today? Nope, it's not a new haircut - it's a whole new design!

We recently decided that the Gadget Inspector website needed a new coat of paint, and that's exactly what we've given it. As much as we loved our old orange look (may it rest in peace)...

...time marches on, and we want a website that's sleek and modern and hip. You know, like our customers!

As you can see, we've packed this slick new website with dozens of colourful images. These pretty pictures aren't just there to look good - they're here to demonstrate how awesome our gadgets are, and how they could enrich your life.

So...what do you think? Whether you love it or loathe it, we want YOUR feedback on our new website, and we want it now! Here are some of the ways in which you can make your thoughts known:

Gadget Inspector on Twitter  //  Gadget Inspector on Facebook

Gadget Inspector on Google+

And don't worry if our stunning new site has left you speechless - we've prepared for that eventuality. Simply copy 'n' paste one of the following pre-written responses into your preferred social media app:

• The new Gadget Inspector website looks so good that all other human endeavour looks like a pile of pants by comparison.


• Who was responsible for the new Gadget Inspector design? I need a new theme for my LiveJournal and I love what you guys have going on!


• I never want to stop looking at the new Gadget Inspector website. Even the sight of my own children now fills me with melancholy, for their smiling faces contain not a fraction of Gadget Inspector's newfound beauty.


• Is it possible for a human being to love a website? When it looks as good as GadgetInspector.co.uk now does...yes, I think it is.


• Please may I have a framed copy of the new Gadget Inspector homepage for my bedroom wall? I want it to be the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last thing I see before I go to bed.


• To whom it may concern: I am writing to complain about the new Gadget Inspector website, which is so attractive that I got pregnant just looking at it.

We look forward to hearing from you!

World Book Day isn't that far off, and before we know it, it will be upon us. So before March 6th, make sure you've got the kids fancy dress costumes sorted. This event is the perfect opportunity to really get them into reading. In this day and age, where technology takes presidence over everything else, it is really important that we encourage the children of this generation to read. Kids love fancy dress, so this is a pretty good place to start! We have compiled some awesome costumes for you to have a quick glance at, perfect for those of you in a rush! Each costume is often featured as a character in many children's books, making them the perfect choices for World Book Day. 

• Pirate Girl Costume - perfect for those girls who love a pirate book!
• Medieval Maiden Costume - if your daughter loves to read about history then this is the perfect costume to encourage her interest in history.
• Kiddy King Costume - a must have for that son of yours who thinks he's a king! There are tons of books that feature Kings, they're a very popular choice.
• Royal Princess Costume - every girl loves to dress up as a princess, and now this is the perfect opportunity!

Encourage your kids to get involved with World Book Day this March, once they start a passion for reading, it will stay with them for years to come! 

Valentine's Day is, once again, just around the corner. Make sure you've got your gifts sorted ahead of the big day! We've come up with a few suggestions we think you, and your date will love! So there is no need to stress about what to buy this year.

• Chunky Wooden Puzzle - Star - If your date has a love for puzzles, this is the perfect gift to give! There is nothing more thoughtful than getting something that shows that you listen and take an interest in their interests.

We've got quite a few awesome maze gadgets here at Gadget Inspector (as displayed in the image above), but they're small beans compared to these three goliaths...

1. Carnfunnock Country Park Maze, Northern Ireland

This one won a maze design award (who even knew that such things existed?) It's shaped like Northern Ireland. Can't you tell?

2. Dole Plantation Maze, Hawaii

Supposedly the biggest maze in Christendom, with a great big pineapple at its centre. What's not to love?

3. Reignac-sur-Indre Maze, France

This one's nice because it has sunflowers. Only at certain times of year, mind - it's a much better maze in the summertime than in winter.

#AmericansvsBritish is currently trending on Twitter. There have been plenty of good arguments from both sides - not to mention all kinds of colourful insults - but we at Gadget Inspector thought we'd put the whole issue to bed in one fell swoop. Let's compare what these two great nations have to offer:

• Size
  Well, America obviously wins this one. According to Google, the USA boasts an area of over 9.8 million square kilometres - that's more than forty times the size of Great Britain. USA 1-0 UK
   
• Age
  The Brits get the point here. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was founded in 1707 (although its constituent countries are obviously much older); the Americans won their independence in 1776, so we've got about seventy years on the Yanks. USA 1-1 UK
   
• Famous Inventions
  British people gave us telephones, televisions, and the World Wide Web - three cornerstones of modern society. Americans gave us the beach ball. Point goes to the UK. What's that? Thomas Edison? Yeah, but even he needed help from an Englishman. USA 1-2 UK
   
• Celebrities
  It's hard to argue with America here. The website mostfamousperson.net (which lists the 100 most famous people in the world) currently has Michael Jackson at #1, followed by Lady Gaga. Both American, sadly. The most famous Brit is Robert Pattinson of Twilight, who ranks at #23 on the MFP list. USA 2-2 UK
   
• Movies
  You might think that the Americans have this one sewn up, and...well, you'd be right. The highest-grossing movie of 2013 was Iron Man 3, directed by an American and starring two Americans. We could argue that British cinema is better, but you can't argue with numbers. USA 3-2 UK
   
• Music
  One Direction are British, and everyone loves them, so we're gonna go ahead and give this point to the UK. USA 3-3 UK
   
• Food & Drink
  Cheeseburgers and beer? Or Sunday lunch and a cup of tea? We know which option we'd take. USA 3-4 UK
   
• TV
  If you believe IMDb, the most popular TV series of all is currently Game of Thrones. It's hard to decide who gets the credit there - the programme airs on HBO (an American network), and it's based on books by George R. R. Martin (an American author), but almost every actor in the show is from the UK (with the honourable exception of Peter Dinklage). We were all set to call this one a draw, but then we remembered that both Sherlock and Doctor Who came straight out of Britain, so we're giving the UK another point. USA 3-5 UK

So there you have it - proof positive that Britain really is better than America. Well done, chaps. Let's all celebrate with a spot of Marmite.

Oh, and in case you're wondering...no, we're not biased.
