Optimus Mini



Posted in Uncategorized

News of the Optimus keyboard seems to have died, and the last I heard, it was supposed to be released at the beginning of February. The good news is that you can now Pre-Order an Optimus mini, which has three high res customisable keys. They're priced at $100, which seems pretty expensive for a gimmicky Winamp remote.

Google's maps of the UK updated



Google has updated it's maps of the UK to a high enough resolution to make out some pretty small details. I can't quite see my blue Peugeot on the drive, but it's a big improvement on the resolution they previously had.

Posting a pic was probably a mistake...

EVE Online better than WoW?



Posted in Site news and Uncategorized

CharacterAfter four months, I’m selling my World of Warcraft account. Getting my Warlock to Level 60 took 15 days of solid playing time, and made me lose focus on other things. The Matrix Online only kept me busy for a few weeks when it came out last year, but WoW was different, somehow the repetitive grind night after night appealed to me at the time. Instead, I’ve decided to take up EVE Online because of the giant battleships and amazing scenery!. It won’t be as time consuming as WoW, because your skills level constantly, whether you’re playing the game or not.

EDIT: eBay removed my listing for being in violation of Blizzard’s intellectual rights. If you’re interested in purchasing the game and guide ONLY from eBay, then also aquring the character, I’m selling the whole lot for £105.

Song recognition by tapping



Posted in Uncategorized

Songtapper.com lets you tap the spacebar in time to a piece of music, then finds songs that match the beat you tapped. I can't get it to work after four tries, so I think it needs some refining…

CS:S Idiots and Ratman



Posted in Funny and Uncategorized

Two videos made me laugh today. Some idiot playing Counter Strike spends five minutes shouting insults at a guy blocking a corridor. Maybe he thinks if he keeps shouting and insulting the guy, he'll realise the errors of his ways.

CS: Source Idiots

In this one, a PETA (RSPCA in the US) activist goes to an animal testing lab on a fear-factor type show. I can't make out whether the rat man's a real guy in a costume or some kind of animatronic puppet. Either way, I want one!
