HexBug Newtons – Collectable Robot Insects are Freaky

by Jay Garrett on February 18, 2010

If ant-farms are a bit old hat, and you’re the type of person that enjoys freaking out their younger sister then here’s some gadgety creepy-crawlies that should fit the bill.

HexBug’s range has featured robotic ants and cyber crabs but now here’s their latest future-insect.

The HexBug Nano Newtons are small enough for you to see in the corner of your eye and have you reaching for a rolled-up newspaper.

They sprint around on rubber feet and go careering around the place like amphetamine crazed cockroach.

Their realistic movements go as far as being able to flip themselves back over if they end up on their backs.

~shudder~

The Newtons come in collectible test tube packages with various different genetic “mutations” (or colours to you and I).

Go to HexBug’s website and dish out $9.99

Check out the vid below and see one of the freaky habitats and the mentalist mini menaces!

Gear4 Video Buddy – From iPod Nano to Widescreen TV

by Jay Garrett on September 29, 2009

Nano videobuddyAfter last week’s reports that a US gym has banned the new iPod Nano due to fears that it could be used for catching scenes of sweaty, lycra clad folk on the treadmill and an actual arrest in Kobe, Japan, after some bloke hid the Nano in his shoe, and somehow filmed up an 18 year old girl’s skirt perhaps the latest from Gear4 could get banned soon.

The Gear4 VideoBuddy is the ideal mate to your new Nano – all you have to do is shove it into the port down at the bottom of your 5th gen’ iPod nano and use the supplied RCA cable to connect it to your gogglebox.

Hey presto – your hastily, yet tastefully, shot clips can now been chucked up on your HDTV.

All you need is £29.99 and to head over to Gear4

Thumbnail image for Apple iPod Nano 5G Gets a Video Camera – Hassles Flip Cams

You’re probably aware that there was a little shin-dig where some new iPods were unleashed yesterday evening.
Out of the new line-up the one, for me, that deserves most attention is the Nano 5G.
Form wise it doesn’t seem that different from the Nano 4G – the screen seems slightly larger and the rainbow colour choice of [...]
