    The Week in Geek Issue # 136

    The Week in Geek Issue # 136

    Greetings gentle readers! The writer is still quaking with joy (In a good way) over Sam Witwer responding to a tweet of his about playing classic space shooter game TIE Fighter.  He’s not sure what it says about him that he was *this* close to screaming at the top of his lungs with joy at the time, but right now he doesn’t care. This week’s top stories are the release of a new Iron Man 3 trailer...

    When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Use The Scamander

    When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Use The Scamander

    The Warthog might be Master Chief's vehicle of choice in the Halo games, but once he sees the amphibious Scamander, we suspect he'll be putting in an official requisition for a new ride. The off-road vehicle was originally envisioned by Peter Wheeler, owner of British sports car manufacturer TVR for 23 years, but he passed away before it came to fruition. So his wife and a team of engineers made sure the vehicle was eventually built, and Evo magazine had a chance to take it for a spin. Long...

    See The Future Through Google's Eyes

    See The Future Through Google's Eyes

    If you haven’t caught this yet then prepare for a glimpse into the future according to Google: Project Glass. What’s Project Glass? In the simplest of terms, “Smart” Glasses. Or to frame it in techno-terms: An augmented reality head-mounted display that features pieces of smart glass with a heads-up display (HUD). The finished product features a small metal frame that goes over the ears, and a small piece of glass over the right eye that shows the HUD. Essentially, it’s a smart phone that...

    Robot Quadrotors Playing The James Bond Theme. Not Something You See Every Day.

    Robot Quadrotors Playing The James Bond Theme. Not Something You See Every Day.

    If you haven't seen this yet - you have now... Just when I thought the TED Conference couldn’t produce anything cooler than that recent Prometheus viral short film featuring Guy Pearce playing arch-bad-guy Peter Weyland, they go ahead and release something that ABSOLUTELY BLOWS THE MIND! The video you’re about to see features flying robot Quadrotors (those little RC helicopters with four rotors) playing the James Bond theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and...

    Climb Like Spider-Man. No, Really.

    Climb Like Spider-Man. No, Really.

    Ever wanted to climb up a building like Spider-Man? Just place your fingers against the masonry and start climbing? Go past meetings where the guy who’s pontificating suddenly stops and turns to face you in surprise, and you give him like a really cool spidey thumbs up or something? Or climb the light tower at Acer Arena so you can see Justin Bieber rock out? What am I talking about? OF COURSE you’ve always wanted to do all those things! What a dumb question. Well, now thanks to research into...

    A Real-life Transformer: It's More Than Meets The Eye

    A Real-life Transformer: It's More Than Meets The Eye

    Robots. They’re so hot right now. So hot that generally we let news of the latest super-mech slip through. Like there’s now a robot crab that climbs down your oesophagus and eats your stomach cancer. Literally grasps the cancer with one claw and slices it off with the other. Pfffffft. Big deal. But the subject of this post. It’s something special. Because you know what this robot is like? It’s like a TRANSFORMER! The robot is called Quattroped. It’s described as a “leg-wheel...

    What the? Gramophone and iPhone and iPhone and Gun

    What the? Gramophone and iPhone and iPhone and Gun

    We have two neat-o gadgets for smartphones to turn you onto today. Each delivering its own particular shade of cool. One’s for cashed-up techno-geek hipsters with a penchant for faux antiques – a trumstand for smart phones (you know trumstands, like those really, REALLY old record players with the big horn that came out of them?). The other is for gamers who take their smartphone FPS’s or laser tag just a liiiiiiiittle too seriously (but is still cool and I want one). It rather modestly...
