What did you make of the Doctor Who’s episodes “The Rebel Flesh” and “The Almost People”? A tricky ethical business with using flesh goo to create your own Ganger – especially if you then happen to find out that they remember what happens to them and you’ve already allowed hundreds to die. What would you […]
Sneaky robot controlled by Wii remote
This robot isn’t part of Nintendo’s Wii U news. The first thing you’ll be invited to do is try and spot the robot on a table of items. Yes, one of those items just happens to be a Tachikoma. Okay, sure, we’re talking about a pretty basic robot but it is controlled with the Wii […]
SkyDrive syncing for WP7
Right now, as this blog post is written, the Open Mobile summit is on and Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop is speaking. He’s denying, again, that Nokia is for sale. There’s been a host of cracking comments from him. In fact, Nokia themselves have just retweeted; “Nokia are making lots of contributions to WP7 s/w, not […]
PlayStation TV lets two people see different screens
Do you think multiplayer works if you have to cope with split screen? I don’t. Even if you have a large TV you still have to game with the fact that the other player can see what you’re doing. If you’re not going head to head there’s still the chance that you’ll briefly peak at […]
Police called to deal with bikini zombie menace
In Connecticut, USA, police raced to a scene after a resident reported the terrifying sight of 15 young women, dressed only in bikinis but covered in blood and shuffling like zombies. A calendar turned out to be the source of the outbreak. The 15 young women were all make-up artists taking part in a photograph […]
Cats of Thunder… or Thundercats?
There’s a lot to be said for this designn by Chris Thornley. Thornley runs Raid71 and seems to have produced material for the likes of NME, Levi, Fortean Times and even Lego. I was impressed with Fortean Times as a client – even more geek impressed to see that he’s worked with Lego. His four […]
Cthulhu inspiration: Innsmouth Town Hall Meeting poster set
This is a clever idea from Etsy designer Narshero; a set of posters that lined up the Town Hall meeting of the good folk of Innsmouth. It’s a quiet town but the locals aren’t too keen on strangers and certainly swift to anger. This set of posters, which is designed to be shown three abreast, […]
Mobile Review: Samsung Galaxy Mini
I have long been of the belief that technology is an enabler. Used properly it can educate, entertain, and generally enhance the quality of our lives. I am also firmly of the belief that in order for the maximum number of people to benefit from technology, cost should not be a barrier to entry. Samsung […]
Apple suffers Windows logo prank
Microsoft has not yet managed to export their retail stores outside the US. Apple has been far more successful and they’re due to open a very large store in Hamburg, Germany, shortly. We might expect Microsoft to be the subject of pranks but as Apple grows and continues to be aggressively defensive of their IP […]
Dalek Lighter
Series six of new Doctor Who (or series 32 if you count from the beginning) has featured a fair chunk of monsters; even new baddies like The Silence and the Headless Monks. It’s been pretty cool. The Daleks, which received a bit of an update in series five, are being given a bit of a […]
