Boom Bx – why we all need to be very very careful with crowdfunding projects nowadays…

The crowdfunding market is huge and ripe for all sorts of exploitation, but we have to say we’re completely floored by the sheer chutzpah of the people behind a new Indiegogo project for a product called Boom Bx. This ‘breakthrough‘ speaker technology was apparently ‘sketched on a piece of paper’ by Nick Robinson and his grandfather who spent ‘countless hours‘ optimizing the design. Really? Really?

Most of the time technology is really awesome. It can help save lives, creates entertainment and generally can be a force for good where it’s needed. But sometimes, on rare occasions, it can get a bit too full of itself and start meddling in areas where it shouldn’t be. At all.

DO NOT BUY the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 because it is region locked just like a DVD [Updated]

In one of the most incredibly stupid moves of any manufacturer in recent years, it appears that Samsung has integrated region locking on their new line of Galaxy Note 3 mobile phones. Yes that’s right, they have locked the handset so if you travel outside of your region (i.e. USA, Europe, Asia etc) you will NOT be able to use a local SIM card to make cheaper calls and save on roaming. [Update: Gigaom reports on a follow up from…

BoooTube – all the worst rated YouTube videos in one shudderingly horrible place

So we all know – and maybe even love? – YouTube, right? It’s full of insane, glorious and enchanting stuff. And kittens.

Riot Training For Two – I say old chap, any chance of you lobbing that gas canister the other way…?

You can often get a fairly good indication of the declining level of a civilization from the state of its leisure activities. The Romans enjoyed brutal arena sports right up to the end of their empire, and the ancient Aryan’s idea of fun was to let loose a horse and declare war on the owner of the land where it stopped to eat. And so it goes…
