We’ve seen some impressiveStar Warscakes, but this AT-AT takes the proverbial cake. This thing looks amazing and the details are super nice – so nice that it doesn’t even look like a cake. It was made by Cake Central member ChrisTheCook for a friend’s wedding and it stands at over two feet-tall.
If the Imperial March isn’t playing in your head at the sight of this cake, I will need to revoke your geek credentials and lock you up in a dark cell without the internet. With a very talkative Jar Jar!
The cake board is covered in snow to look like Hoth of course, though there’s no signs of any edible snowspeeders or tauntaun.
For three decades, most of us have interacted with computers in exactly the same way: We point with a mouse (or a finger!), click, and watch the screen. In one way, it’s the most outdated element of human computer interaction around. But in another, it’s the thing that’s shaped every operating system and device designed since its invention. We’re starting to leave it behind, though. Here’s what’s coming next.
So, we do know that Worms 3 will be hitting the iOS platform sometime in the third quarter of this year – which should be anytime from now until the end of September. Well, if you do not own an […]
Google Street View – never leave home without it. We do know that the Street View team has already covered many thousands of square miles across the earth, so much so that they have also done walkabouts on two particular […]

The Kinect has largely been a device meant for gaming on the Xbox 360, but since its release, it’s been hacked and modified in so many ways. We’ve seen many different projects arise from the use of the Kinect, with the latest one being from Microsoft themselves, where they’re experimenting with sign language detection with the Kinect sensor.
Microsoft’s Research division in Asia have been playing around with some new software that gives the Kinect sensor the ability to read most gestures in the American Sign Language using hand tracking technology that’s in the Kinect. The software can also allow non-deaf users to input text and sign it.
The software looks to be surprisingly accurate, even when going at quick, conversational speeds. The software even gives the Kinect the ability to parse whole sentences and flow gestures into the next, which not only looks impressive in the video below, but it could change the way we communicate using sign language.
This basically means that deaf people could eventually talk to their computers or game consoles using sign language gestures. The Kinect allows users to speak commands in order to complete a certain task without pressing buttons, but sign language detection could a completely new level to accessibility options to the Xbox.
Of course, this is still something being tested on in a lab, and it could be awhile before we hear anything about the technology making its way to the public, but it definitely seems like something that isn’t too far-fetched and could easily make its way to the Kinect at some point in the future.
Back to the Future fans have waited with bated breath since Lego announced that it would soon rock their worlds with a fan-designed Cuusoo set, and now, we finally have a release date. On August 1st, Lego’s Back to the Future Time Machine will go on sale for $34.99 from select retailers, but an extremely limited quantity can be found at San Diego Comic Con, going on right now. The set includes our favorite time travelers (complete with Marty McFly’s cheeky grin and Doc Brown’s gravity-defying mane) and a DeLorean that can be customized to resemble the three different models from the trilogy. We have to say . . . Legos are cool and all, but we’re still holding out for a fully functional hoverboard.
How did iconic furniture like the Eames side chairbecome iconic? What about the Noguchi table, or countless other classic pieces of the modern era? The answer is through the legendary design firm Herman Miller, whose history you can see illustrated in 108 seconds in this short video.
So remember how traffic was pretty bad in Florida yesterday? You know, because of an unmanned drone unexpectedly spiraling down from the heavens and blowing up next to US 98 Highway by Tyndall Air Base? Well, there’s video now—or at least of the aftermath. And they were not kidding about that smoke cloud.
We have heard about the LG Optimus F3 in the past, and do know that you can pick one up from Sprint. However, if you are a Virgin Mobile USA subscriber, you will be pleased to hear that this particular […]
