This video is one for the tech-heads and Androiders among us. This video also appears to be a leak and so may well be YouTube yanked. Things to note; this is a smart phone running Android 4.0.1. That’s the latest of the latest. Samsung have been doing very well of late by backing Android and […]
Hawkin’s Bazaar for a geeky Christmas?
There’s a Hawkin’s Bazaar in the shopping centre near me. It was there last Christmas and then closed afterwards. Now it’s back again. If the strategy is only to be in bricks and mortar for the shopping season then that’s probably very clever given the current economic climate and the low low short term rental […]
Cute Qbo robot learns about himself
If you check out the homepage to Thecorpora it looks like some sort of mysterious company. “Are you a bot?” it asks. The good news is that they have a friendly blog run by Francisco Paz. There’s even a Twitter account to follow at @QboRobot. Ah, the cute Qbo. In this video we watch the […]
The Miniature Wonderland is huge
When I first saw the title Miniatur Wunderland I thought about minotaurs. A minotaur wonderland? That doesn’t sound so wonderful at all. The good news is that my German is terrible. This is actually supposed to be a miniature wonderland. There’s still a catch. I don’t think this is miniature at all. This is the […]

Details are scarce but the URL free-apps.t3.com is the one to watch. I’m also told the hashtag #t3appvent will be […]
Giant mutant mouse DJs for an animated building
This an ad for Nokia Lumia 800. I’m still trying to talk someone I know into buying one as I suspect it’ll be pretty good. I’m sure WP7 is a much better mobile OS than people fear it is. This is Millbank Tower in London – so I’ll always call it the phone building from […]
Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Transformer Prime
The Transformer Prime is a very tasty looking Android tablet from ASUS. It’s expected to ship in December. I suspect the Christmas rush might even sell it out. It’s a remarkable bit of kit in that it may look like a small laptop until you lift it up from its docking station keyword in which […]
How do you screen grab from a Xbox 360?
Are you a PC gamer or a console gamer? My choice of platform is strongly connected to the type of game. However, in one aspect PC games have the advantage – they’re far easier to take screen grabs from. If you’re trying to review a game then your life is made much easier if you […]
Skyrim LEGO god or cheating backsturd?
I can’t decide whether this is fair play or cheating. After all; no software hacking was involved. Now, bare with me as I’m yet to get my hands on Skyrim so I might slip on the details but the premise is this – the more you practise your healing, the better you get at it. […]
