The Stormtrooper versus the alarm clock

July 8, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a real alarm clock. If you’re tempted you can find it easily at Amazon UK or US and have one of your own. Just make sure you’re a better shot than your average Stormtrooper.

June 28, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Geek Native follows phone tech because it touches on the lives of gamers around the world and because phones have become gaming platforms. This week there are rumours Google is developing an Android based gaming console. If that’s true Google will be late to the party with devices like the GameStick and the Ouya already […]

Sharing games on PS4

June 11, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an actual video from PlayStation. It’s been seen by about 4 million people and that’s taken just one day to happen. The video demonstrates how you can share games with the PS4. Let’s me clear about this; Sony is pitching this straight at gamers and poking Microsoft in the eye at the same […]

The best homemade lightsaber yet

May 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

When the laser expert and the guy who built this homemade lightsaber notes he’s not comfortable holding the device then you should pay attention. It’s also worth pointing out that 3W lasers are legal for home use in the States. What do you think? You’ve seen the power of this device and what it’s capable […]

A hands on review of the Acer Iconia A1

May 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

The first way the Iconia A1 impressed me was with the battery life. The Android tablet had a sliver of power in it when I wrestled it out of its wrapper and out of its box. I was in a busy hotel bar, totally unable to get near a power point, but that sliver of […]

Impressive Borderlands casemod

May 14, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The PC above has enjoyed some case modding tender loving care. What started off as an average case has been turned into something awesome. I’ve seen some case mods that look like robots and statues. They look like a lot of work. This Borderlands casemod may appear to be simple in comparison but it took […]

An up close review of the Sony Xperia L

May 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

The Sony Xperia L shapes up well. The phone feels good in the hand, solid and yet responsive to touch and with a graceful design. It enjoys the integrated suite of Sony goodies as well as features like the Sony Fitbit app. The phone itself probably will not wow you. The thing is; the Xperia […]

GlaDOS ceiling lamp – in your very own home

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Look impressive? You can have this GlaDOS ceiling lamp in your own home. That’s right; it’s a 3D printed creation. You can pick up the 3D print files at Thingiverse.com, the instructions at Instructables.com and 3D printers are getting easy to find. Staples.com, for example, sells them.
