Cute Google Android Robot Collectables Refuse to Crash

by Jay Garrett on February 3, 2010

Remember Twitterific’s Ollie has been brought to ‘life’?

Well, now you will soon be able to hug your own Google Android figure!

Andrew Bell has teamed up with Google so that you don’t have to resort to just stroking your Nexus.

Mr Bell has worked on a series of authorised Android robot figurines, starting with an initial run of 12 designs.

The cute 3 inch tall figures feature articulating heads and arms, and will be available starting the 10th of this month.

Have a look-see here :)

Leica Gold MP – People’s Republic of China 60th Anniversary Edition

by Jay Garrett on January 25, 2010

Leica isn’t renowned for its flashy eye-catching colours.

Quality cameras, yes – garish colour schemes, no.

That seems to have all changed in honour of the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.

Just check out the 24 carat gold-plated snapper that’s limited to a run of 60.

Each of these golden wonders will be hallmarked with a year between 1949 and 2009, the Golden Camera is encased in red calfskin, bears an inscription of Mao Zedong’s favorite slogan, and sports a Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens.

You also get a nice wooden box to hide it under your bed in.

It’ll be sold exclusively in mainland China at an eye-watering cost of 199,900 Chinese Yuan (£18,099.94) a piece.

For the less flamboyant, Leica is also releasing limited editions of the M8.2 and D-Lux 4 models without the gold and other silliness.

R2-D2 must be the galaxy’s most loved and most recognised droid.
As well as being adorable as a companion he’s also proved himself handy to have around – whether as a mechanic or patching into computer interfaces he’s helped many a human, as well as fellow droids, out of rather sticky situations.
This R2 statue is probably [...]

So, the next time you cut yourself trying to free your latest gadget from its plastic cocoon – why not use one [...]
