Samsung are into their video marketing and are pretty good at growing viral videos. I suspect this latest video to help boost the sales of the Samsung Note will be another success. The Samsung Galaxy Note is an Android device that’s larger than a phone but smaller than a tablet. It’s designed for, well, for […]
Ride the Xenomorph
Built from scrap in a Bangkok garage by Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn, the alien motorcycle, actually goes. Sangwongprisarn has four shops, called Ko Art Shop, from which he sells his fantatic creation. If you’re rich enough he also exports them around the world. If you’re brave enough you could actually ride this thing. Via Design You Trust.
LEGO robots help Cambridge University grow bones
This video is all kinds of awesome. Firstly, there should be more knowledge about bones. Medical science knows jack about bones and it annoys this blogger. Secondly, wow – we’ve got LEGO and robots, they’re in use in a hardcore science lab and all this is part of the Google Science fair. What’s not to […]
Race car science as micro arc oxidation helps create HTC One S cases
Sometimes the science aspects of this blog merge with the tech aspects of this blog. Makes sense, right? The surprise is that it doesn’t happen more often. I suspect that the science isn’t often seen as exciting enough by the marketing departments and so no cool videos are created to explain it. Horrah, then, for […]

1,000 marble tipping machine
This video has taught me that the German for marbles is knickers! Well. Okay. Nearly. It seems to be knikker but that’s close. Watch as the machine transports dozens of marbles at a time, saves them up and then tips them all at once when there’s 1000 in the pen.
When will Virgin Media double my broadband speed?

Virgin Media runs its own network of fibre optics (most everyone else leases their lines from BT broadband) and has made a special effort to promote itself by being fast. Yes, I know, broadband speed marketing is a horrible things with all […]
The Hunger Games Companion
I’ve a secret to share – I’ve never read The Hunger Games. The internet is a buzz with news, clips, rumours for the The Hunger Games movie. Should I read the books before I watch the film?

The future of tabletop RPG? The Galaxy Beam
Traditional tabletop roleplaying isn’t ignoring technology and is not simply surrendering to the MMORPGs. For example, Pathfinder is being developed for the online world by Goblinworks and they’re not using the traditional MMORPG model (a hybrid, in fact) for this, D&D have a new virtual tabletop and mobile sites like iPlay4e have shown some gamers […]
