Today the government run auction on the 4G space in the UK starts. However, EE is already active (in some cities) and there are already some 4G LTE phones. HTC has timed this well; announcing their new 4G LTE phone that’ll be available via selected operators and retail partners. The launch partner is EE. The […]
Xenomorph USB drive
An impressive USB mod with design details and photographs on Facebook. Not sure this is a piece of business safe tech but it’s still impressive.
Real life robotic Pixar Lamp
Do you think the Pixar lamp character is cute? It’s a cheeky lamp that bounces around and investigates the start of the movie. It clearly had an impact on Shanshan Zhou, Adam Ben-Dror and Joss Doggett. They’re responsible for this very clever, real life, robotic Pixar lamp. The technologies used are Arduino, OpenCV and Processing. […]
Combat Kitchenware
Quirky picture? This isn’t an one off. This sword-meets-pan is actually the first combat kitchenware proposed by Morlock Enterprises and the centre piece of their Kickstarter. That’s right; if you want one of these “fighting man frying pans” then you can donate to the product and perhaps qualify. Morlock are asking for $7,000 in order […]
The xenomorph mouse
The xenomorphs from the Aliens series always take on characteristics of their host species. That’s not what happened to this computer mouse; it didn’t meet a face-hugger.

I think it’s important not to forget the cultural impact of technology on education or under estimate it. Late last year, a survey said that 60% of students wouldn’t […]
Mad scientist builds working Tesla Gun
The mad scientist in question is Rob Flickenger. Dangerous Rob had help from Hazard Factory and Hackerbot Labs to make this gun – and it’s a real gun. Sure, it may look clunky and something out of a comic (actually, it’s out of The Five Fits of Science) but this device can shock at 20,000 […]
Popcorn Horror’s push for fan financing and rewards
[Support this Campaign] This is an interesting Indiegogo pitch from Popcorn Horror. It’s interesting because, like Indiegogo, it is also a pitch for an alternative form of financing. However, what Popcorn Horror are suggesting is a way to make money from content once the film has been made. There are few ways beyond YouTube and […]
Doctor Who: Cleric Wars augmented reality game
There’s a free app called Cleric Wars for the iPhone and some Android phones that looks interesting. The Clerics in question are ones we’ve seen on Doctor Who. In The Time of Angels we had military Clerics from the Church investigating an area that turned out to be rich in Weeping Angels. This AR game […]
