3 year Old Plays Mirrors Edge and Portal


Guess who's back? back again.............no not shady!..........Me!

I thought I'd give you this lil update since i've been neglecting you all.

I seen this video online and i just HAD to post it, this 3 year old tears up mirrors edge and portal.
Now mirrors edge isn't too hard, it's just grasping the concept but portal!.....i mean, have you ever played portal ?  It's bloody hard!

I gave up on portal not many levels after where the kid is in the video because i thought it was too hard!

I think i need to re-attend school, no scratch that, NURSERY SCHOOL! since they are obviously teaching these kids something i'm missing out on!

Iron Baby


It always amazes me where people get the money to make these things from as it doesn't look cheap. (like it would if i did it.)

I wish this was real :-( (The film, not the baby, i'm pretty sure the baby is real.......isn't it?............damn CGI!)

White iPhone 4G



Some Chinese website has pictures of what they say is a White iPhone 4G.

It is seen next to a black 4G which we've seen countless times before.

If this is what the next white iPhone looks like then I'm going black this time.

I just had a go and embarrassingly realised i don't know how to play Pac Man lol, damn these games that came out before i was born!

Anyway, Check it out.

DSLR Space Shuttle Time Lapse


Have you ever wondered how they get the space shuttle up vertically?. I hadn't ever gave it much thought but this video really opened my eyes. They use one bad-ass crane to pick it up!

All the people in the video look like little ants, so that goes to show how big the Shuttle really is, also how bad-ass this crane must be!

Also more importantly how big is that warehouse!!!!!, this thing is a must watch!.

I've only just now began to understand what a remarkable feat space travel is (i'm not talking about alleged moon landings here). I'm talking about the feat of putting that massive vehicle up into space, it's amazing. and that crane is bad-ass!

iPad + Velcro = Me Wanting One Again


When the iPad first came about i wanted one; i then came to the stark realisation that i didn't need one, at all, full stop.

Well that was almost the best part of six months ago, and i'm now feeling (once again) that this thing COULD fit in my life..........

After watching the Velcro video above, its starting to make sense again.....
I mean, It's not an entirely market-less product as after-all America gobbled up 500,000 of them pushing back the international release of device, so the figures speak for themselves.

I just feel like it could do that little bit more, which is why i'll be waiting for Gen 2.

Auto Tune Wolfs


You know Jay-z said auto tune was dead, yeah well he was wrong! It's still got life in it baby!

Here we have some wolf's jamming to some auto tune goodness, only thing missing was T-Pain on the hook.

And i know i haven't updated the blog much this week, but there hasn't been anything super significant worth informing you about.

Android Phones And Easter Eggs

Every now and then Google hides an Easter egg (an easter egg is like a hidden joke) in its search engine.

This time its Android related, so to see it for yourself go to Google and type "Meet Android" into the search bar and click "I'm feeling Lucky". (By the way this only works in the UK.)

I could screen-shot it for you to show you what happens, but i think you should stop being lazy and do as you're told!.

Also (staying with a Google and Android related topic) the people over at Androidtapp.com have created a nice graphic for you to keep up-to date with which version of Android different phones are running.

The graphic shows all Android releases from Cupcake (1.5) to Donut (1.6) and  Ã‰clair (2.1); Although it misses off the fresh off the press Froyo (2.2) version of Android as no phones are running that at this point in time.

I've edited the graphic as the Samsung Moment is now capable of Android 2.1.

(Click Image To Make Larger)

Also if you're wondering the HTC Incredible is the best of the lot, although it's yet to be released in the UK and it might not be release if they don't do a GSM version.

Also the HTC EVO isn't shown which again isn't a GSM device.

Play Portal For Free



For some reason Steam (the online game playing thingy) is giving away Portal for free.

Steam is a way for you to play PC games, but you download them rather than buy the disk.

Personally i don't care how i get to play the game as long as it's FREE.


You have to sign up to Steam and then download it (1.5MB). The long part is downloading Portal which is a 5GB download. But it is free and it DOES work, as i've been playing it; Well i was until i got abit stuck on level 11. I'm sure Youtube will help me complete the game!


Oh yeah the catch (you knew there was one didn't you) is that its only free until the 24th May.

Other than that hit THIS link and get downloading.

PSP2 Could Be Coming


Since Sony's decline in PSP sales after the release of the PSPGo, rumours have been circulating that they may introduce a PSP2.

Now you know me, i don't like rumours but Sony may announce the device next month at the E3 show in L.A to counter the announcement of the Nintendo 3DS.

So watch this space and remember where you heard it third hand first.

World Largest Blackberry Is In Paris


I always thought the trend with technology is to make things smaller, not 1000 x larger?.........

Anyway, despite my lack of ability to recognise technology trends, Blackberry will be displaying the worlds largest Blackberry on the Beaubourg Esplanade in the heart of Paris.

The smartphone will be connected to Facebook (i'm sensing this is a bad idea) and broadcast messages and photo's via the creator app on the facebook fan page for Blackberry France.


To broadcast your message, follow these simple steps:

  • Visit www.facebook.com/BLACKBERRYFR and select the “Love concours” tab to load the message creator application.
  • Select a wallpaper, and use the text tool to craft a message that tells everyone what you love to do. You can also select an image from your Facebook albums to accompany your message.
  • Select the time and date you want your message to be broadcast, so you can tell your friends to watch for it!
  • After your message has been created it will be broadcast during the 20th-22nd of May on the world’s biggest BlackBerry smartphone in Paris, France.

Females Be Hacking y0


This report claims that whores hoards of women are turning to hacking.

They speak to some girl who claims to be a model, a dental hygienist and a hacker.......... Yeah whatever!

So let me get this straight, she's stunning, rich (all dentist's drive Porches, right?) and clever? pffffft!

That would make her perfect!.....................Maybe i should hack her computer and put " Will you marry me" on her desktop, because if it's true then she's a 11/10!!!

Shame you wouldn't be able to trust her within 100 feet of your home wireless network :-(

iPhone 4G Teardown



Apple have done an appalling job of keeping their secrets as of late. LOL.

Vietnamese website taoviet.vn have got hold of another iPhone 4G prototype different to the one found in march.

This one doesn't have the 2 screws the other one had at the bottom of the device, and they have confirmed it has the Apple A4 1GHz processor found in the iPad and developed by Intrinsity. (who Apple have recently bought by the way).




The device won't boot to an iPhone OS, instead it just runs through some bonfire sequence.

Maybe the bonfire is representative of the rage Steve Jobs must be in right now?.

Motorola Droid Rubiks Solver


Just when you thought the Motorola Droid couldn't make any more headlines someone makes an Android programme to solve a Rubiks cube.

The device made out of Lego and an overclocked Droid (to 550MHz) solves the Rubiks cube in 24 seconds!, which is a tad bit quicker than my record of about 23 years. (i.e. i've never solved a Rubiks cube).

Ironing Man


This is my last Iron Man related post i promise (my fingers are crosssed).

Where the people find the money to create these parodies is beyond me!

The Gadgets Of Iron Man 2

If you've seen Iron Man 2 you will have seen some of Tony Starks awesome gadgets.

And since this is a gadget blog it's only right i show you some of them, and also destroy your sense of imagination by showing you they're not real! lol.

His PDA

Tony's PDA was able to commandeer the screens at the senate halls in the movie. Now that may not be possible (read: almost certainly not) but a see-through PDA device could exist in the near future.

OLED screens are starting to become more common in mobile devices, and making devices see through is nothing new, Samsung unveiled the worlds first see-through laptop screen  (Youtube link) and LG have shown off the worlds first see through mobile phone, the GD900.

So a see-through PDA doesn't seem too far fetched.

The Holographic Interface


Now as far as i know there's nothing out there like this (available to consumers at least). So this is strictly science fiction.

How It Was Done

This video shows how the different visual effects were achieved and ultimately shows what's real and what's not. And in case you're wondering none of its real ha ha!.

All graphics and effects in the movie were done by a company called Perception, << click the link and check out their site for more awesome visual displays.
