I’ve been at a conference for the last few days. Internet access has been hard. This is why there’s been a rush of posts to Geek Native in the last few hours. I think the Triceracopter is the best of the catch up posting. Surely this is enough evidence anyone needs that evolution is real? […]
Yuki-taro the snow eating robot
It’s not unlikely that we’ll see a rather cute snow eating robot shuffling around the streets of Japan in the winter. Blog Inventor Spot brings news of this GPS, camera and self-guided robot actually shoves snow and turns them into lego looking ice blocks. Just how much does this Pokemon style bot cost? Too much. […]
Lego Mindstorms: CubeStormer robot vs Rubik’s cube
How long does it take a robot built from lego to solve a Rubik’s cube? Not very long. Not very long at all. Take a look.. and the cool thing is that this video is going viral on YouTube. There are many geeks out there.
Garden office pod… from the future!
We all hear stories or brave businesses and budding inventors forced to sweat and toil in a shed in their back garden (hey; at least they have a back garden!). Could the solution be to invent a better office shed? Something pod-like perhaps? That might appeal to Apple fans. These images come from […]
Alien PlayStation case-mod
A guilty secret – I sometimes read the Sega US blog. Heh. I do try and stay on the EU blogs from the main providers as I feel they’re a much more relevant read.
Today, though, I was glad I popped over to Sega. They’re sharing pictures of this:
Mini robot helicopter
This short video showcases a rather funky little robot helicopter. It rather stumbles around – except flying – learning when it bashes into a wall, noticing when it’s knocked to the ground but trying always to keep the twin blades whirling so it can keep on flying (or take off again). The idea is simple; […]
A ninja unboxing of the Nexus One
Google’s got the cash to splash on a bit of viral marketing. Viral marketing is always tricky. You can’t force something to be viral. You have to do your best to produce something catchy and then hope the enough of the rest of the web agrees. How well do you think they’ve done here? By […]
Transparent wall technology to save lives
This could be filed in the “is it a send up?” folder but you’ve got to give credit to New Scientist; they explain the concept clearly. Bonus points for mentioning super powers too. Video and projection technology deployed to let drivers see “through” walls and therefore be aware of any potential trouble around the corner.
Surely you need one? An underwater chainsaw
I simply can’t believe the toolbox you have stashed under your bed doesn’t already include this “must have” practical tool. It’s crystal clear to anyone that neither an electric nor gas-powered chainsaw will work underwater. Instead you need a compressed air-powered chainsaw. Thankfully Toolmonger puts the spotlight on just the thing. Ideal for “Left 4 […]
Buy a PS3 and trash everything else
A pretty funky ad from Venezuela for the PlayStation 3 here. It gets your attention by trashing a lot of expensive looking stuff. Lots of broken glass. There’s a giant slingshot – in fact I think the ad is called “slingshot”. Oh, and there’s a PS3 too!
