Project Fiona is one of the standouts from CES. The tablet is designed for gamers – so it doesn’t fit in your bag as easily as other tablets but it games a heck of a lot better!
Are Air Swimmers any good for LARPs?
I’m pretty sure you could use these inside as part of an encounter when a touch by an air swimmer equals trouble. You might even be able to get away with dressing up the air swimmer and still having it light enough to fly.
Wipeout with recreated with Quantum Levitation
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.
Transformer Prime fight: Hasbro sues Asus over transforming tablet
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 […]
PlayStation 3 controllers for the Sony Tablet S
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 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 […]
