From the land of Geek
If you need a quick introduction to quantum levitation then this link has a pretty funky video. We get to see objects zooming around. We learn that we’re not really using magnets either.
As cool as that introductory video is – it doesn’t come close to the geekgasim of recreating the insanely fast paced racing game Wipeout by using quantum levitation. The vapour trails are just too perfect.
Every day for nearly a month I’ve checked Amazon to see whether they have the latest Asus Transformer Prime ready for pre-order yet. The TF201 model looks like it’s going to be amazing. It’s a tablet that becomes a laptop. It ships with Android 3.2 but will get the Android 4.0 update soon. Two key […]
Sony’s first two Android tablets are the Sony S and Sony P. Previously the difference had been in their shape. The S is wedged shape. It’s not thin like an iPod at all; instead it was designed so that it could sit on your table and be oriented for easy reading. That makes a lot […]
This is pretty good as far as holiday season giveaways go. You need to act between the 15th of Devember and the 31st of December in order to qualify and, of course, you need an Xperia smartphone from Sony Ericsson. Log into a Box account just once through Box for Android and you’ll pick up […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’ve been given the heads up that gadget website T3 will be doing a Christmas give away of iOS/iPhone and Android apps. I hear rumours that iPhone 4S handsets might also be up for grabs. Details are scarce but the URL free-apps.t3.com is the one to watch. I’m also told the hashtag #t3appvent will be […]
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 […]
