| |  |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | Week in Tech | | | | The HTC One goes Mini while Brits go big | | | We love the HTC One so much we gave it five stars, but if you found it too big or too pricey, the good news it that the HTC One Mini will be available from next month. Let's ask phone guru Gareth Beavis some questions. Is it better than a Galaxy S4 Mini? It is! Does it feel as premium as its big sister? It does! Has HTC taken some things out? It has! The battery's more modest too. Still, the Mini has "all the bits it needs to be a winner." The word Mini doesn't just make us think of phones. It makes us think of the miniskirt and the Mini car, and they make us think about Britain, and that makes us think about BATMAN! Yes, Batman! It's Brit Week on TechRadar and we've been celebrating the best of British tech - including the Tumbler, the Dark Knight's version of the Batmobile. It was "designed, built and mostly used in Britain." The whole story's fascinating, and the photos are great too. We couldn't have a Brit Week without mentioning the quietly world-dominating Raspberry Pi. But the Pi is swimming against a tide of cynicism: as Patrick Goss says, we hear too many stories of negative attitudes to success in Britain. That needs to change: "If we start giving the 'swots' the credit they deserve, there is nothing to stop Britain joining the top table in technology and gaming." |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this week | | | | | | | ■ | Week in Tech: The HTC One goes Mini while Brits go big | | | | | | | ■ | Talking points: Ubuntu loses it, Yahoo fights Prism claims, fingerprint reader for iPhone 5S, and Nexus 7 2 leaks | | | | | | | ■ | Competition: WIN!

The word "ubuntu" means "we are who we are because of other people". It sounds idealistic, even utopian, and it was. But there have been complaints that some contributors are more equal than others.

According to The Daily Dot, the internet firm won a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court order today that will require the U.S. Department of Justice to reveal classified court documents from 2008.

So if you are looking to update your PC or laptop, it makes perfect sense to look for a touchscreen option too. The good news is that, with Windows 8, the latest stylish computers are already embracing the touch revolution and Lenovo has some remarkable PCs that bring the finest touchscreens to your laptop or all-in-one computer. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TechRadar deal of the week: Samsung 350V5C Core i7 laptop for £479.95 | | | | | | In this week's round-up of the best deals on the net, we've found a bargain priced Core i7 laptop from Samsung for £479.99. It packs a Core i7 3630QM CPU running at 2.4Ghz, 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 1TB HDD. Our Associate Editor Dan Grabham says: "This Samsung laptop is a steal. With a Core i7 processor it can handle extreme tasks and is also great for games. Plus, as there's a cavernous 1TB hard drive, you'll never be without your media." | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | New issue out now | | | | | | |  | | We put the first pair of Google Glasses in the UK throught their paces in our extensive review.
