Rubber Band Gatling Gun

October 14, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This puppy costs $500 but I’m sure many people will be willing to hand over the cash. It’s a rubber band gatling gun built from machined parts. In case you’re wondering – it can fire up to 100 rounds (er, rubber bands) in a single use and has a mounted flashlight so you can use […]

Carphone Warehouse first with the Samsung Galaxy Tab

October 4, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here in the UK the Carphone Warehouse has become the first mainstream retailer to begin taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. This is noteworthy because it gives the Samsung Galaxy Tab an expected by date. Carphone Warehouse are saying November 2010 (but note that may change). There is no expected date for the Android […]

X10 mini review

October 3, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mobile phones are important to the geeks of Geek Native so when the opportunity to play around with one of the Sony Ericsson X10 minis popped up, we had to say yes. Our resident expert in Sony Ericsson tech is the Rainbow One who’s been with them since K510i and has designed personal themes, icon […]

Awesome – Tron mouse leaves light trails

October 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The famous light bikes in Tron were okay. What made them so cool was the solid light trails. Don’t you agree? The Tron franchise machine knows exactly what makes the visuals work in the film? Items bound with neon strips are common. Light trails are rare. They’re just hard to do! That’s why this Tron […]

Samsung SD cards in animal testing shocker

October 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Samsung are having a go at proving how tough and robust their SD cards are. In one viral video they’ve even resorted to animal testing. Ha! Okay; so not that sort of animal testing – cute puppies being allowed to try and death-lick the SD card. There’s a shark too. And a flamethrower. What did […]

Star Trek tech getting closer with Sony Ericsson LiveView

October 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m quite taken by the Sony Ericsson LiveView. It’s a little device that you can wear like a watch (in fact; I’m sure it can tell the time and be a watch) as a clip. LiveView works with Android phones to intergrate and get internet access. This means you can use it keep up with […]

Look what happens when a red gummy bear encounters Potassium Chlorate

September 23, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Chemistry can be fun. Gummy bears can be fun. To be honest, I’ve no idea whether potassium chlorate is usually fun. I suspect most things with “chlorate” in their name tend to be more serious than fun. However, that should stop us – or some brave soul at the St. Albans Science Department – mixing […]

LEGO Tardis is awesome (via @JustJon)

September 21, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I left a comment on Jon’s blog to say that not only was the LEGO Tardis awesome but he had earned his place in geek mythos. I think a follow up post here on Geek Native is only necessary. The Tardis is based on the David Tennant Doctor and uses the SNOT technique. By the […]

Halo Jetpack in Trafalgar Square

September 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Just as we were talking about Halo cosplay here in Geek Native towers this rather nice video of some Halo jetpack action presented itself to us. What it certainly shows is how far jetpack technology has progressed. It also shows us that some PR stunts are cool. What do you think? Would you charge or […]
