The Small Print
Lowest prices guaranteed...find a lower price and we'll beat it by 15 percent....First up this week why do retailers make these price matching and price beating offers and how easy are they to use? We'll also see how low we can go by playing these offers off against each other.
After shopping around Bill Thompson beams in with more technology news. This week Facebook announces yet more changes to its privacy settings. Plus you've heard of the blue screen of death, that's when your computer crashes, well now some Windows 7 users are experiencing the black screen of death!
Before the news we're off to India where cosmetics companies are trying to move in on a potential market of more than 1 billion people in particular skin whitening creams targeted at the metro sexual male.
After the news at one, maybe, possibly the only nut that's had a scientific theory named after it, the pistachio. And why do we always buy them slightly open? Well it's a question of breeding apparently!
Then at 1:20pm the weather's been too rotten to spend much time in the iPlot so Colin Walker, our executive agrarian adviser, is fielding some of your gardening related queries. Everything from ladybird acquisition systems and shady gardens to companion planting.
And before we go we're getting crafty - Sonia Yee visits a craft fair plus we ask why craft is so in at the moment - is it economics, recycling culture or just a bit of creative fun?
