I didn’t know they even had spells on eBay. I don’t actually use eBay that much anyway, but this was still a bit of revelation. So apparently it’s been a thing to buy things such as magic spells, curses, hexes – even prayers and blessings! eBay has now declared such a thing stupid and is banning […]
If there are martians observing Curiosity, determining whether it is friend or foe, they are sure to be up in arms as Curiosity lasered up a rock. Yesterday NASA reported that the Curiosity rover fired its first laser – first laser on Mars (its mamma must be so proud). Rocks on Mars are special and […]
On The Oatmeal’s latest blog post, he calls out to geeks and geek-supporters everywhere to pitch in to the building of a Tesla Museum at the site of his old laboratory, the Wardenclyffe Tower. Apparently the land has recently gone up for sale and a non-profit is trying to raise money on indiegogo to buy the land […]
The judge hearing the intellectual property case between Apple and Samsung has pleaded with the two firms to make one last attempt at reaching a settlement. Lucy Koh (pictured) warned both sides that letting a jury decide was effectively a crapshoot. As we’ve previously covered, this is one of the rare cases where one of […]

Well Intel is ready to step up and push wireless charging into the future. While wireless charging has been used previously for charging smartphones (to what degree of success, perhaps some of our readers who have […]
Did I just completely miss this rumour!? Well apparently I did and what was rumour has now been somewhat confirmed. I’m quite sure we have enough readers out there old enough to remember the wonderfully stupid adventures that Bill & Ted went on so long ago…back when Keanu Reeves was just a kid. The third instalment […]
So it seems Zynga has finally bitten off more than they can chew, and are having to face allegations of copying and repackaging games to make its gazillions of dollars. No one can deny that Zynga games are popular – I myself play the various “with friends” games on my phone. But there also seems […]
The term Viral Video has come to be known as many things, but the general term seems to suggest that the content became very popular very quickly. Here’s a short documentary from PBS explaining what the organization thinks is a viral video. My pet peeve has always been when marketing campaigns label their videos as […]
How much do you want to be the child of one of the richest people in the world? I would imagine J.K. Rowling’s children are over-the-moon about their mum’s success because their mum is treating them to a treehouse that will be so enormous that it actually requires planning permission from the City of Edinburgh […]
A French Retailer called Early Flicker has applied to trademark the logo for the hacktivist group Anonymous. The group prides itself on its facelessness, and while no one really knows who Anonymous members are, it is very likely that this cannot be challenged. The retailer also trademarked their slogan: “Anonymous. We are legion. We do […]
