This isn’t a WiiPad. Yup; there’s an iPad. Yup; there’s a WiiMote. It’s actually a jailbroken iPad being used to run SNES games. In this case the iPad is playing Super Mario World. Straight away, I think, this video illustrates what a threat Apple is to the causal gaming hopes of Nintendo and Sony. All […]
TomTom advert humiliates Darth Vader, funny though
This advert for TomTom is actually plugging a real product. Yup. Visit www.tomtom.com/starwars and you’ll be able to download you very own Star Wars voices for your GPS unit! What a great idea!

Google impresses with Hubble Tour in Google Earth
Search engine Google has given all space geeks a real treat. They’ve combined their awesome map technology with footage from the Hubble Telescope. If you’re a Google Earth fan download the tour straight to your machine. With a flirt towards Star Trek fans Google describes this as the Final Frontier.
Who wouldn’t want a talking Tardis cookie jar? (Ululating jammie dodger Tardis?)
The very idea of a Tardis cookie jar is a good one. Whoever thought about making it a talking cookie jar was a brave man (or a brave woman indeed). How will the Doctor Who fans react? It’s for sale at Think Geek and I think they deserve an extra speshal pat on the back […]

Stunning: Robot artist creates Halo helmet
This video of a Japanese machining robot is pretty. Well; to the right geeky sort of mind set anyway. I love the way it carves so easily through the metal. It looks like someone carving into light plastic or foam. The choice of sculpture is enough to make this video a must watch for any […]
Where’s the Navibot? – the irony of www.samsung.com/navibot
Samsung have a new viral video out that’s proving to be popular. It’s popular because it’s good. The video shows a conference room, boring a heck, except there’s a small navibot moving around on the floor. Sometimes something impressive happens. Then the bot flies off. We’re directed to www.samsung.com/navibot to find out more. We’re supposed […]
The iBookend – Use your iPad as a bookend
This week I got my first email which had “Sent from my iPad” in the signature. It came from a colleague in London. I teased him. He pointed out the worse thing about having an iPad already and being based in the UK is that the App Store isn’t yet open over here. He can’t […]
The iPad becomes the Star Trek PADD
The folks at Gizmodo sum this up with a “Someone Had to Do It” title – and they’re probably right. It’s also their scoop as the designer contacted them. Yup. An iPad/iPhone application designer has created a clever skin for a bunch of social networks that looks like a Star Trek PADD. It screams Trek […]
Yes; this is ace – an umbrella broadsword
My friends would love this as a birthday present. ThinkGeek has a totally awesome umbrella broadsword in their shop. It has a push button opening mechanism. It has a shoulder strap aka the scabbard. The umbrella itself is black but with a silver interior. This is ace.
