Once again The Gadget Show Live rocks on up to the NEC in Birmingham leaving us with questions like “is it any good?”, “should I go?” and “what are the gadgets like?” This blogger did not attend during the press day; instead four of us, including one wheelchair, went on the first day and got […]
Skyscrapers for the apocalypse roll through the ruins
These rolling buildings would be good at squashing zombies. The wheel shaped buildings are actually an entry into eVolo’s competiton to rethink skyscraper design by Damian Przybyla and Rafal Przybyla of Poland. They are called “Migrant Skyscrapers”. The concept behind them was a building that would be suitable for an unstable world and the need […]

HTC’s Free Fall: Smartphone photography at 126mph

Is the Samsung Galaxy Note elephant real? Or a fake?

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 […]

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.
