Nestle vs Apple Google recently announced that the next update to Android – version 4.4 – will be called ‘KitKat’. The…
In Greek mythology Zeus is the ruler of Mount Olympus and the ruler of all gods. The new AIO Robotics Zeus seems to be following in the steps of it’s mythological namesake as the lord of all 3d printers. We’re all more than familiar with the 2d printer/copier combo that resides in just about every…
I polled many of my geeky friends to find out what they think is the best part of being a grown-up geek. I did this in hopes of coming up with a top ten list, but the myriad responses I received all boil down to a top 5. Here they are, the 5 best things…

100 Rogue is a rogue inspired dungeon-delving game where you guide your titular hero on a quest to kill Satan.

We were all kids once. And inevitably we all played with toys. Okay, bad example – I just realised I’m writing on a geek website and therefore we as geeks didn’t quite stop playing with our toys. Except now we call them ‘collectable figurines’ or ‘diecast models’. I know I do. Anyway, I spent many…
