Gamers know the multiverse theory well; meta-universe, metaverse, call it what you want but the name applies to a possible set of multiple universes. The multiverse is also common in comics and graphic novels. It’s a perfect way to let writers play around with alternative versions of heroes. The multiverse has always been hypothetical – […]
DigiGuide bought by EBS New Media
One of my favourite little applications is DigiGuide. By application I actually mean an old style .exe. DigiGuide was a piece of software I downloaded years ago, pay for and use every day. It’s an electronic TV listings guide for the UK. Sure, it lets me sort channels and show them in a display format […]
Something lurking…
It’s hard to imagine liking an ad for a vacuum cleaner. Sure, we’ve a modern Dyson in the flat and all that – as much of a gadget purchase as we could find – but does it really count as a true gadget? The LG Compressor does try to claim gadget status. Some of the […]
Air-powered Star Trek style door
It’s surprising how many people really dig the sound doors in Star Trek make. The swoosh sound seems to reassure people. Step forward UI Produtions and a rather clever air-powered Star Trek door. This, as you can see, isn’t something from a spaceship. This is a door for your flat. Enough chat; check out the […]
Watch before it’s YouTube Yanked: The Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone
There are videos of the Sony Ericsson ZEUS Z1 that are worth a watch. Why? The ZEUS is the fabled but not yet official PlayStation Phone. This household has an X10 and Geek Native has reviewed the X10 Mini and we know both phones are pretty good. The problem with each? Sony Ericsson lags behind […]
Impressive machine “knits” a brick road
Brick roads don’t simply look nice they’re also durable and much less prone to pot holes than other surfaces. The reason why more brick roads aren’t laid is simply the time and resources it takes to make them. Okay, I know this is Geek Native and not Road Maker Native so stick with me as […]
Zombigotchi: Cute zombie pet for iPhone/iPad
It seems that there might be some unlife in the virtual pet craze yet. Fed up of cute kittens and baby dragons that cost you gold coins rather than earn them? Why not consider your very own cute pet zombe that you can pet, train, feed and call George? Well. Actually, I’m not sure about […]
Darth Vader walks with you: Galaxy S on Docomo
This blog would be worse off without great ads from Japan. Starting with a Japanese ad is a good start, adding in sexy tech like the Samsung Galaxy S makes the post sound even more promising and when we can throw in some Darth Vader Star Wars. What do you think? I think I’d probably […]
How to build your own Jedi training device
Everyone remembers the floating training device Luke first practised on. I’d wager quite a few people wondered what it would like to own one. At least one person, Trooper Trent (a Stormtrooper? Oh noes), has made one. Here’s how. The video shows typical geek cunning! What do you think? Fancy trying to make one of […]
Things That Are Wrong: Boomer Plushie
Brace yourself. From the files of “Things That Are Wrong” and from designer Alexandria Neonakis comes the Left 4 Dead Boomer Plushie. This plushie will belch at you (hence the need for batteries). You activate one of the 10 in-game Boomer sounds by squeezing it. Why would anyone ever squeeze a boomer? We’re predicting more […]
