From Windows 1.0 to Windows 8: The Evolution of the Windows Logo [Pic]

Notice the similarity between the Windows 1.0 and Windows 8 logos. Getting back to basics, Microsoft?

Montreal filmmaker Tyler Nicolson specializes in stop-motion animation, in particular, “claymation.”

His latest video will have you looking at your next bowl of Ramen or plate of spaghetti in a whole new way!

Roachbot: Now with iOS controls

Designed for all those horrible people who want to mess with those of us a little bit terrified of the insect famous for never freaking dying (even though they’re actually rather harmless), the Roachbot is a remote controlled cockroach from Japan. And I suppose it’s been popular enough that it has warranted an “upgrade” to include iPhone and iPad remote support.

So if you happen to have interests that include both Apple technology and creepy bugs, then you may have just found your dream geek gadget. Although from what I can tell, you’ll need a friend in Japan to get one for you as overseas shipping is not currently available (here).

I find the little cockroach house super creepy.

I actually just learned from a friend that the cockroaches in the Philippines bite. I don’t ever want to encounter a biting cockroach…just the thought is horrific.

Call on the Dark Knight Yourself!

Ever had a problem so impossible to solve that you are sure if superheroes existed, then you would definitely be a candidate for their attention? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I’m sure we have all been there. Well now you can try your luck with Batman, calling for his services with this little Bat Signal.

At the very least it’s great mood lighting for your geekiest date, or a nice gimmick for your next superhero-themed party (do it).

It even comes with a 48-page full-color mini-book ll about batman!
