Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Transformer Prime

November 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

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 […]

November 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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. […]

November 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some people have all the talent. Some people have all the talent but don’t know what to do with it! This dude may be a good example. For Halloween this MIT student build a Tesla Coil hat. No. He didn’t die but the hat did explode the day before Halloween – unlucky. I’m also pretty […]

Furry cosyplay goes futuretech robotic

November 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Japanese inventors are brilliant. This example may, at first glance, look a little odd. A giant and robotic cat head that seems like something that can only be used for furry cosplay.

November 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This blogger is based in Edinburgh and is very busy with his day job. As a result, I never get to go to blogger events hosted in London – but I do sometimes get sent photos of what I missed. Microsoft’s “roleplaying event” to highlight the latest upgrade to Hotmail is one such example. Mind […]
