Microsoft always has a challenge when it tries to demo a new product in public. Give the company credit, though. They do learn. This time rather than a boring suit to demo the product they had a pair of sexy girls so we could be distracted if the motion sensor suddenly stopped working during a […]

Exploding watermelons with 10,000 volts
We owe x-race car driver and self taught electrical engineer Jeri Ellsworth a thank you. She shared a video from her friend Joshua. Oh, yeah, Joshua likes to find interesting ways to explode watermelons. He likes to video this. Imagine what 10,000 volts could do to some watermelons? Actually, there’s no need to imagine it; […]
C.R.A.B. Police Robot is scary awesome
This video from Jamie Martin is well worth a watch. It’s also worth checking out his C.R.A.B. Dalton/Stanley micro-site. You can even follow Jamie on Twitter at @jamiemartinart. Right now he has 70 followers. I bet that number is going to soar! The results of their historical collaboration has been to produce the most advanced […]
World of Warcraft agrees with Doctor Evil: Epic sharks with laser beams
Find a WoW player and get them to tell you about the Maelstrom. It’s got big, scary monsters or some-such-thing. As it their way, Blizzard has been tinkering with things as they gear up to release their latest expansion. This prompted yet another discussion on the forums. Ako brought up this point; What I meant […]
Monster Stroller: For monster kids?
I don’t know if this would be classed as a treat for kids or as a threat? What do I know – kids are alien hit dice creatures to me! What I do know is that this is cool. Not sure I’d want one in my living room (too small) but outside on the landing, […]
Watch @bambolabambina shine in sexy new Caprica 1.5 trailer
The SyFy crew treated Comic Con to a sexy new Caprica 1.5 trailer. I know. I wasn’t there either. No fair. It looks impressive. We hear the word “cylon”… heck; the whole thing is clearly pulling together in the way we knew it would but couldn’t imagine how. Well worth a watch or you could […]
Game On: New The Guild music video
The Guild’s first music video was a total success. I was one of those geeks who rushed to buy a copy from iTunes and then watched as it rose in the charts and eventually beat all that mainstream pop crap into submission. I’d say The Guild’s new music video is even further removed from mainstream […]
Augmented reality Godzilla t-shirt
I need this. I just need the t-shirt. It doesn’t matter if no one else has the software needed to get the AR Godzilla effect. Just wearing a t-shirt that could be seen to do this is enough for me. In fact; I demand a whole new fashion craze of augmented reality t-shirts! While we’re […]
Song of Fire and Ice: Game of Thrones will air in the UK
This is great news for all George RR Martin fans in the UK. Sky, that TV giant, has bought the rights to air all of HBO‘s programs. The Guardian has the story. So what? Big Sky gets bigger? I mean; they doubled their profits this year. I’ll tell you what! This means that a Game […]
Relevations and the Stupid Creatures
I like to think of this “Oh God, Stupid Creatures”. Really not sure what to make of this – it’s a press release sent to Geek Native. John Murphy is a “plush toy artist” from Asheville, North Carolina. I didn’t even know that was a job. We’re not just talking a “toy artist”, we’re talking […]
