Mole Day – 6.02 x 10^23

October 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If we using the American dating style of putting the month before the day then today is Mole Day. We kinda have to go with the American dating style too – can’t have the 23 after the 10 otherwise! To be specific at 6.02 is the precise time at which we celebrate Mole Day – […]

Science geeks behold: Quantum Levitation

October 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The takeaway for me is that it’s not correct to use the term “floating”. In the video we clearly hear that quantum superconductor is “locked” in position. I imagine they’ve gone with “Quantum levitation” for the video title as a way to describe what the video appears to show. Mind you… they could have also […]

Tomorrow’s Tech Today: HoloDesk and OmniTouch

October 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Two videos for tech fiends and futureheads that are proving popular this week are the OmniTouch and Microsoft’s HoloDesk. Don’t expect pumping music and fancy demos as both videos are technical and straight foward – but if you apply just a little imagination you can see what both sets of technology might mean for entertainment […]

Sadly, the plush Portal 2 turret won’t make Christmas

October 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Aww. Double aww. The first aww is because this deadly warrior is so cute. This mechanical killer is perfect for cuddling and playing with. That’s right; you will soon be able to buy your very own 14.5″ Portal 2 turret. The second aww is because you’re unlikely to get this for Christmas (that the shopping […]

Dragon takes over a building with projection mapping

October 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, we’ve seen projection mapping before on Geek Native – for example Tron projection mapping, The Gadget Show and Space Invaders as well as Hyundai going all 3D with it. This dragon projection mapping is one of my favourites though – dragon! Okay, it’s an advert but it’s still pretty cool.

Error 3200

October 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Are you suffering from error 3200? This will be down to two things. The first possiblity is that War Rocket Ajax is trying to flush out Flash Gordon from the cloud. The second is that you’re trying to get hold of iOS 5. Sadly, it seems Apple’s servers are struggling with the worldwide demand for […]

Mi-Fi: 3’s Mobile Wi-Fi

October 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a review of the latest Mi-Fi, aka mobile Wi-Fi, from 3. It’s an Huawei E568 device. If you’ve not heard of Huawei before, don’t worry, they’re a significant brand in this space. In fact, my 3G dongle I have from work is branded in the colours of a mobile network but my laptop […]

What you need to know: “Let’s talk iPhone”

October 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Today, Apple hosted an event called “Let’s talk iPhone”. OMG! The iPhone 5 is coming! Wait, wait… I’m sure the iPhone 5 is coming but today’s announcement was about the iPhone 4S. Actually, today’s announcement was an easy introduction to Tim Cook – the new Apple CEO. He didn’t even get to introduce the iPhone […]

Samsung Central Station Wireless Monitor: Unboxing goes horribly wrong

October 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What’s your view on unboxing videos? Some people wish they would crawl off to the plane of Lawful Evil and die. Other people point out there’s a huge difference between unboxing videos which really just show a product coming out of a box and those unboxing videos that go a step further and show the […]
