If you had your own giant robotic arm, a love for racing and way too much time and money on your hands, I’m sure you would do the same as the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. And by “The Same”, I mean “turn the robotic arm into the world’s most awesome arcade simulation of [...]

While we normally don’t post random YouTube links on Gametactics and then copy them over to TechMamba, this one caught our eye which claims that you can get an old lady to give you one heck of an earful and then she instantly kills you. The video claims it is from the PlayStation 3 version [...]

Google have decided to up the possible resolution of YouTube to 4K video (That’s 4096 x 2304 pixels, or 8 times larger than my desktop) to support future high resolution cameras and higher bandwidth internet connections that we will have in the year 2525… If you were to go to any of the videos on [...]

Microsoft formally named the Xbox 360′s motion controller without the Wiimote, dubbing it the “Kinect”. I’m sure there’s a decent marketing reason for it, but it doesn’t spring to mind immediately. Anyway, Justin managed to get a “Behind The Scenes” video of it from E3 which he posted on sister/brother/cousin site E3coverage.com High Points – It [...]

UK broadcasting giant the BBC sent their reporters over to CES to see the latest and greatest in gadgetry. However, they ended up with more than they bargained for… Firstly, they were given a demonstration on how indestructible a hard drive from iosafe was. It was set on fire, soaked, dropped and crushed by a [...]

It’s been a while, but now Google can loudly proclaim “Me Too!” when it comes to the Android Phone Party. One of the main bodies behind the Android movement, it’s been strange that Google hasn’t created it’s own phone, instead leaving it to others such as HTC to do all the hard work, but now [...]

You know, for quite some time I’ve thought that having two screens on a laptop is a dumb idea. For a start, how could you do such a thing without lumbering around another TFT and hoping for desk space? It turns out, it’s possible to have a pre-built solution… Yes, some stupidly intelligent guys at [...]

Good News: Someone’s got hold of the Sony VAIO X11 and filmed an unboxing. Bad News: The site that did it is a German language tech site by the name of Newgadgets.de. Good News: They speak great English in the video… The above version is in English, but you know where to look for the [...]

As we all know, sooner or later the robots will rise and take over the world. We will be dominated by a super-intelligent global network (or “SkyNet” as I think of it) controlling a robotic army… Sadly there are humans whom just cannot see that they are directly helping the future enemy by constructing our [...]
