INCOMING!!!

Rubber band ball grenades. They can be fun.

Impressive

I always thought this type of 3d printing was quite brittle, but there are some serious forces applied to a horses shoe when it's running.

Does anyone else read articles like this and think "Fuck yeah! I'm livin' in the future!"?

If not Adrianes, then...

Something inspired by the kiddies painting would work well.

Are you saying that the one with multiple repeated photos is mre practical?

Mid range

Well that's a lot of phone for the price.

I get the feeling that in the low to mid price range, MS/Nokia are giving Android a run for their money. My contract is coming up soon-ish and I have to say that Nokia are making some very tempting mobes for my money.

*shudder*

Having spent my teenage years in Didcot, I was one of the many, many folk that worked at RM between college and uni and during the summer holidays.

Given the standards I saw there, I'm quite astounded that they're still going. Rework and rebuilding were one of the biggest teams in the place.

Yup

Looks interesting, looks like it won't blend in to the background (there will always be a stand out colour) and rather stylish.

Think I'll vote for this one.

Timekeeping

The key thing it will need is to be able to keep time without a mobile to pair to. I spend a lot of time per day out of bluetooth range. Unless it can be used for primary function without the sync, it's useless.

We have a dyson and it's very meh. Not a great deal of suction and seemingly more noise and bluster than work being done.

I used to have a cyclonic one made by VAX and that was superb. Shame I lost it during a house move :-(

Anyway, he has a point. I wonder if, like the suggestion about bags, we were to add in other environmental issues such as "shipping to the EU" how the figures would look?

Does arguing on forums come under "entertainment" or "games"?

Soooo

Take away the manufacturer and the hyperbole and we have "Car hits object that ruptures something. Car tells driver to pull over. Fire doesn't breach fire safety engineering. No one dies"

I'd call that a win.

I'll reserve judgement on the fire crew and their motives. I don't know enough about tackling fires to make a judgement (however, the suggestion that water should be used to remove the risk of reignition is quite a compelling argument) and it's all to easy to say "They obviously didn't knwo what they were doing" when you don't know their reasoning.

Rainbow 6

One of the first games that really, really grabbed me. The book was decent too.

Not about mugging

The whole "so a mugger has to do all this to get in to your phone... blah" scenario isn't the first thing that sprang to my mind.

The one that I first though of was the where foolish business or political types keep *all* their important stuff on their phone. For the right people, it would be advantagious to take their time in getting the stuff they need beforehand, making the print and so on. Snagging the phone would be the very last thing to do. If they're already wearing the fake prints, they could be opening up their victims mobe as they're running away.

Fantastic article!!

I really enjoyed reading this, but I do hope that the next article will cover the decorative aspects of tape.

In the late 80's/ early 90's, Memorex et al were the key decorators of trees, roadsides and central reservations.....

I'm guessing that the steaming pile that was Windows 8 would have had some impact with owners of new PCs. Great for touch devices, but dire for PCs.

Hmmm

On one hand, I like the idea of a button I can hit when I wake up that fires up the shower, starts the coffee machine and switches on my PC. The idea of light triggered curtain closing/ lighting activation is pretty cool too.

OTOH, I remember watching "Demon Seed" as a child and fear having to give birth to a robochild thanks to an overeager computerised rapehouse.

Common procedure

I think lots of companies are trying the scary hammer tactics for customers. I get regular "your payment is due, you haven't paid yet, where is it? If you ignore this, all manner of evils will befall you" type texts from a bank that I pay a direct debit in to. It pisses me off because a) it loooks like a phishing txt and b) it's usually after the agreed payment date, when my records always show that payment has gone through.

Pub!

I'm not drunk ossifer, this 9 degree lean is just whimsy, not inebreation!

Space Plane Untethering: Negating Katastrophe

Anti

Baloon

Offcourse

Reactive

Terminator

Addictive as all hell

I remember staying up 'til 6AM playing this on the Megadrive. My folks got very angry with me.

What a game. The sequel Fade to Black was good too.

pfft

I like the small form factor and the UI overlay that SE do, but I refuse to buy another SE phone after they basically decided that they would follow an almost Motorolla type line on updating the OS for their customers.

Robot guitars

I have to say the concept of onboard FX isn't really that new, but I'm glad that Gibson are persevering with the robot tuners.

I wonder, though if you have to tune each string or can set up preset "one click" alternate tunings like the transperformance system?

Some of the other tech makes this a super concept for a session guitar for sure. I quite like the idea of an optical output.

I never thought I'd ever wonder if there are linux drivers for a guitar!

In HD

we can see the grain on the wooden performances!

Although it DID get better after season 2

Nike?

It looks like a shoe.

I saw a Wind in the metal the other day and it does look better in real life. And it was black. Not sure about the fancy styling though, it really does remind me of something my nephew would wear for games practice.

Fascinating read!

Thanks el Reg!

Nice!

So they'll be on the market around the time I'm going to look at getting a new phone eh?

For me, the battery life is the biggest smartphone annoyance. This looks quite nice as well

Like many others

I'd prefer something to protect my car from other doors.

And trollies. Could they fit this to shupermarket trollies? That would be cool :-)

looks

I like the concept, but for me the key to a super mini is its looks. The micra has always been iconic in the way it presented itself. The Mk1 was cool, the Mk2 looked like a bubble and was rather cheeky. Mk3 was less so, but still looked neat. This looks like a cross between a Tata and a reanult.

Mind you, the same can be said for the whole segment I guess. Just look at how inoriginal the new Ka is.
