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 […]

Death of the Doctor pictures
The episode The Sarah Jane Adventures called “Death of the Doctor” is controversial. In it they seem to suggest the Doctor can regenerate as many times as he wants – rather than just 12 times which had been suggested before. Yes, also, there are canon examples of Timelords being given fresh regeneration cycles. BBC Pictures […]
Troll Hunter trailer
If I said “European film” to you – what do you start to think of? At least of a few of you now have minds in the gutter. What about if I said Norwegian film? Bare with me. Just trying to set expectations for Troll Hunter. Some of the videos uploaded by Trolljegeren to YouTube […]
He lives! “Paul” trailer online
We’ve only been teased about Paul before. Sure; there had been pictures from the Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movie – but not many. The video was called “Secrets” and, well, everything was tightly controlled. Now, though, now we’ve a trailer. And we can see the alien Paul. What do you think? Set aside that […]
Monster Muppets
Insiders and friends of Rhys Cooper alerted me to this set of three monster muppets. Aren’t they scary? Cooper has an eye for detail and a mind fit for Hollywood! I’m informed that said works of art will soon also be for sale at this webstore and I can think of a few people who […]

Omniwheeled and remote controlled lego tank

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 […]
Star Trek’s Enterprise in Minecraft. Full size.
Have you given into the temptation to try Minecraft yet? I’ve got as far as starting the game for free, without registering and smashing a few holes into the ground. In just so those few seconds I could easily see why a certain type of builder geek would become addicted. It’s with addiction in mind […]
Water drops versus superhydrophobic carbon nanotube array
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 […]
Betrayal at Falador review
Betrayal at Falador is the first official RuneScape novel. Jagex are doing great things with the brand and extending the reach of the game via the fantasy novel route only makes sense to me. The novel is by T.S. Church and published by Titan Books. While Betrayal at Falador is the first RuneScape novel it […]
