HTC have announced a new deal with Dropbox. HTC’s Android phones will come with a free 5GB of storage. It’s a great idea; a good counter to iCloud. I’ve an HTC Sensation with Dropbox installed. I don’t pay for Dropbox but have done some of their social media competitions in order to boost my storage. […]
Monsters under the x-ray
This is art. Okay; it’s rather freaky art from To See in the Dark and combine what with monsters good enough for any dungeon – and this Geek Native blogger is interested in it. The octo-lady is certainly nothing I’d like my heroic pirate PC to have to deal with. There’s something about her that […]
Mole Day – 6.02 x 10^23
If we using the American dating style of putting the month before the day then today is Mole Day. We kinda have to go with the American dating style too – can’t have the 23 after the 10 otherwise! To be specific at 6.02 is the precise time at which we celebrate Mole Day – […]
Destroy Halloween: the Bubble Head Nurse from Silent Hill
This is cosplay. Our lovely nurse surfaced on the cosplay blog some weeks ago but I thought saving it until the run up to Halloween would be Silent Hill cruel. What are you planning for your Halloween costume? Doesn’t this effort just destroy it?
Science geeks behold: Quantum Levitation
The takeaway for me is that it’s not correct to use the term “floating”. In the video we clearly hear that quantum superconductor is “locked” in position. I imagine they’ve gone with “Quantum levitation” for the video title as a way to describe what the video appears to show. Mind you… they could have also […]
Tomorrow’s Tech Today: HoloDesk and OmniTouch
Two videos for tech fiends and futureheads that are proving popular this week are the OmniTouch and Microsoft’s HoloDesk. Don’t expect pumping music and fancy demos as both videos are technical and straight foward – but if you apply just a little imagination you can see what both sets of technology might mean for entertainment […]
Responsible? No. Fun? Yes! Archery reenactment
This is what happens when you put some medieval reenactment togther with a stag weekend. I know what you’re thinking – is that wise? Probably not – but they did it anyway. This blogger always knew that SCA didn’t really stand for Society for Creative Anachronism but for Society of Consenting Adults, he just didn’t […]
Sadly, the plush Portal 2 turret won’t make Christmas
Aww. Double aww. The first aww is because this deadly warrior is so cute. This mechanical killer is perfect for cuddling and playing with. That’s right; you will soon be able to buy your very own 14.5″ Portal 2 turret. The second aww is because you’re unlikely to get this for Christmas (that the shopping […]
Wandering monster tea set
Designer Jose Paulo Alves Corceiro came up with this “Nasty Set” for serving tea. Sure, I think the square cups might present something of a drinking challenge but they do look somewhat charming despite their frowns. It’s hard not to look at this collection and consider it the wandering monster tea set. Via Yanko Design.
Dragon takes over a building with projection mapping
Okay, we’ve seen projection mapping before on Geek Native – for example Tron projection mapping, The Gadget Show and Space Invaders as well as Hyundai going all 3D with it. This dragon projection mapping is one of my favourites though – dragon! Okay, it’s an advert but it’s still pretty cool.
