Watch before it’s YouTube Yanked: The Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone

December 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

November 29, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

November 14, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

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

November 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

November 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

November 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

PLEO rb (aka Pleo Reborn) on video

October 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Pleo isn’t dead. Phew. Although the original company weren’t able to weather the economic climate the cute robotic dinosaur was picked up and saved by Innvo. The next generation of Pleo has just been revealed at the Hony Kong Electronic Show. The new Pleo – known as the Pleo rb – is blue rather […]

Omniwheeled and remote controlled lego tank

October 18, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This mink tank (aka Metal Grudge) is an example of Lego perfection. Not only is this impressive engineering – those omniwheels allow the tank to drive in any direction it wants and perform impressive changes of direction – the video is an impressive feat of photographer. You see, designer Peer Kreger designed camera cars to […]

Water drops versus superhydrophobic carbon nanotube array

October 18, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video wasn’t designed to entertain. This is science. As it happens it’s one of those science videos that will impress laymen too. What’s going on here is that carefully sized drops of water are being exposed to a clever surface material (the superhydrophobic carbon nanotube array). The size and speed of the drop are […]

Best PS3 modding, ever?

October 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Is this the best example of a modded PS3 you can find? If you’ve not seen the video before you may need to look quite closely to see the fine crafting along the edges of the device. However, if you keep on watching towards the end you shouldn’t be in any doubt as to how […]
