The next generation of Apple’s portable OS, iOS 5, will have magic like abilities thanks to its space/time enhancement. With the space/time unit running you’re able to take items out of the screen and make them real or put real items into the iPad and make them virtual. Simon Pierro has an exclusive demo of […]
Wikileaks and #superinjunction busting versus Bruce Wayne
There’s a lot to be said for the freedom of free speach. There’s also a lot to be said in stopping the super rich using the courts as their own play thing. Mind you, there’s also a lot to be said for telling the tabloids where to go and having a healthy respect for the […]
Master Jedi Yoda… is cake
This looks as good as anything Charm City Cakes might do – and that’s a high compliment because that team rocks the cake world. For this cake we have Reddit user TomTom on a Tauntaun to thank as well as the mum who made this for her kid’s 8th birthday. It’s a fantastic idea but, […]
Daft Space is Daft Punk merged with Dead Space
This is the beauty of a mashup. You take 1 cool thing, add it to another 1 cool thing and end up with something greater than 2 cool things. Mashups break maths; they turn 1+1=2 to 1+1=3. Case in point; take music talents Daft Punk, take computer game exellence Dead Space, put them together and […]
Vader invades Disneyland
This is a cute viral candidate video for Disney’s new Star Wars themed ride – Star Tours. We see Darth Vader and two Stormtroopers arrive in Disneyland, only to find Star Tours not yet open and so have to distract themselves with the rides for a day. I’m sure if I was a Simpson’s writer […]
Okay toaster, you win!
Once again this blogger reaches into the dark places of the internet where fantatic pictures are surfaced – and would be ideal for sharing if only the original creator had been credited. The designer of this dangerous toaster is unknown to this blog but if you know then do speak up in the comments. Is […]
Quick! To the Bat Mobile!
Expectations are dangerous. Yeah. Even to Batman. If this was an actual Batman prank it may count as the best one the Joker ever pulled. I think we should pitch the idea DC Comics. They’re going to re-number Batman comics for us; might as well start with a blast. No?
Domesday: Technology from the past for tomorrow
25 years ago the BBC carried out a project to record and archive snapshots of everyday life in the UK. It was known as Domesday. Recently, this archive of material has been put online at Domesday Reloaded and can be quickly and easily searched through. Ideal for research if you’re running a near-history game, etc. […]
LEGO Star Wars sandcrawler is over a meter long
There are about 10, 000 pieces of Lego in Marshal Banana‘s Sandcrawler. He describes it has his “baby” and I can imagine why; this project must have been a labour of love! There are four xl motors in this beast, five medium motors, 4 receivers, 4 batterypacks and 22 lego LEDs. The sandcrawler weighs in […]
A first look at Windows 8
I have an Android phone but I can see the attraction of Windows Phone 7. I think it’s better than current sales figures suggest. Windows Phone 7 seems to be a big chunk of the inspiration for Windows 8. Actually, Microsoft are saying this project has the ‘codename’ Windows 8 but it’s hard to imagine […]
