Okay, perhaps “doom” is the wrong word to describe this machine but it does make me wonder whether you could use Lego to build a machine to harvest dangerous materials and drive them into cities through the sewers. This video is just shy of 8 minutes long which helps illustrate just how huge this machine […]

R2D2 controlled car
I’m not sure any of us will ever experience what it would be like to fly a fighter spaceship with R2D2 as co-pilot in the back. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. For example, we could boost our cars and build co-pilot control pods for droids in the back. Here’s an example of what I […]
A Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic review
If you’ve been holding off subscribing to Sky then A Game of Thrones might be that one show that changes your mind. Alternatively, you could move to America for the next few months and watch it on HBO. This review comes from the UK where Sky Atlantic currently has the exclusive run of a Game […]
Augmented reality takes shopping to the next level
I’m just back from The Gadget Show Live. It was fun but one of the common observations made was that it seemed to lack on future tech. Future tech is out there though. A good example is Tissot’s Augemented Reality window at Harrods in London. There’s an app too. Check out www.tissot.ch/reality to download the […]
A video catchup of all 47 years of Doctor Who – in just a few minutes
The talented pair and YouTube success story known as The Fine Brothers have all four feet planted on the Doctor Who bandwagon. They’ve put together an oratory wonder by walking us through all 47 years of Doctor Who in just 6 minutes. I’m glad they’ve done this. I’m well aware there is a large percentage […]
Project Cafe: Wii 2 to out power PS3 and have camera controller
The rumours that Nintendo will launch a new console next year are burning hot. Kotaku have all but confirmed it. We’re expecting the news at E3 – that’s June 7 – although Nintendo often old a press conference the day before. In fact, there’s less debate about whether the Wii 2 is on the way […]
China bans time travel
There will be no Doctor Who on Chinese TV. There won’t be any Star Trek either. Why not? The Chinese govenment has banned any and all time travel in TV or in movies. There. Of course. That’s your answer. If you’re wondering why the Chinese have done this then you need to consider the importance […]
Cowboys & Aliens trailer
Did you expect to see Harrison Ford in a blasters and aliens movie again? It’ll be really interesting to see whether Col. Woodrow Dolarhyde channels any Solo at all. What’s clear, I think, is that the cinema trailer for Cowboys & Aliens looks pretty cool. It feels like Ironman. Doesn’t look anything like Ironman but […]
Alternative Easter Bunny: Zombies and Chocolate!
Is Easter a pagan festival for the goddess Ēostre and a celebration of fertility? That would explain all the eggs and bunnies. Or is it a Christian festival celebrating Jesus coming back from the dead? If we apply a bit of logic we’ve got too common themes; bunnies and zombies. We tend to express Easter […]
Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer and monkey doom!
This is the trailer for James Franco‘s Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I’m getting mixed feedback on this. I thought the trailer looked pretty good. It gets to the point straight away – what’s good, what’s evil, can you tell the two apart? It seems to do that in a way that’s not […]
