Carphone Warehouse first with the Samsung Galaxy Tab
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 […]
Heat changing TARDIS mug
ThinkGeek, home of so many fantastic geeky gifts, has another Doctor Who wonder. These TARDIS mugs react to heat. To begin with the TARDIS sits and waits in London. Add some tea (or coffee if you’re American) and the TARDIS will re-appear in space. Pretty cool. Er, or hot.
Ring Found: Nice try, Sauron
Ring found! Please contact Susana/Sauron if it belongs to you. It might just be that those hobbits are up to clever tricks again. I suspect there might be easier ways to keep tabs on the location of the ring. (Via Hacked IRL.)

There’s also Independence Day spaceships. Skyline trailer 1 Skyline trailer 2 What are your thoughts? I don’t mind saying that my first thought […]

That’s just the way of the web though; lots of people out there are looking for blogs recommending good fantasy, sci-fi, horror or otherwise geeky wallpapers. However; you can spruce your desktop in other ways. You can use the icons on […]
Sexy stormtroopers
Both of these photographs come from the tumblr brilliantly called Star Wars and Wine. The author calls herself a “grown-up geek-girl who blends nerdery art, fashion and entertainment”. That works for me! Check out these two unexpected stormtroopers.
Awesome – Tron mouse leaves light trails
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 […]
