Not to be contended with televisions, singer/songwriter/model/extraordinare Bjork has made up her mind about televisions; the little streets in them look beautiful! Look at how she takes apart her own CRT (and manages to not get shocked by the bunchful of capacitors in there) and explains on how they work! A must-watch.

Not contend with the amount of bad press and cat calls that surrounded their beloved Large Hadron Collider, the 17-mile tunnel which helps scientists discover the secrets behind dark matter and dark energy. And no, its not a portal to hell or something!

Take an RCX, a couple of bumper sensors, two minifigs, a Donkey Kong figurine scaled to minifig size, a whole lotta patience, and we've got something called a labor of love :D

Cool, isn't it? No matter what, you MUST buy it as its made by Norris Labs. Chuck Norris, geddit?

Phew! What a tiring weekend it was at the second PIKOM PC Fair of the year!

Heya folks. Check out our HWM/GameAxis minion, Fat Cat Lim, holding the PS3. It's not ours, but we're getting one for "reviews". That's right, we're GETTING one.

Don't hate us because we're beautiful.

So, if you're curious to see what we think of the PS3, don't forget to check out the January issue of GameAxis next month.

PS: We might get the Wii and do a double-header hands-on! Woot!

While most of us prefer using the Wii as a casual plaything, our in-house sadist tough guy uses Wii Sports Boxing as a Fight Night training tool. To show how much of a sadist he is, we bring you our first-ever YouTube video!

When faced with slow-loading web pages, do you suffer from quickening heartbeats, profuse sweating, and furious clicking and bashing of the mouse? If so, you might be suffering from Mouse Rage Syndrome. According to a study done by Social Issues Research Centre in the UK of 2,500 test subjects, it's an ailment that's serious enough to affect one's cardio functions, as well as the immune and nervous systems.

Personally, I think the name Mouse Rage Syndrome is inappropriate since the name implies that the mouse play a large part in being part of the affliction. Maybe Crappy Web Page Syndrome would be a better name? Or the Keep It Simple, Stupid syndrome? (KISS syndrome has a nice ring to it ;3)

We'll surely want this for Christmas, but that's passed, unfortunately >.<

In case you're wondering, that's a full-sized gauss pistol that actually works on the principles of magnetic propulsion. And that's the same laws of physics behind the ever-cool gauss rifle in the MechWarrior universe. Too bad the creator has to wait till April 2007 till the imminent release.

Well, its good to be back from the long break, and we missed the opportunity to wish you guys out there, and so, we're going to do that with a dedication from the darling YouTube granny. Enjoy!

The Nintendo Wii killed a woman in her late 20s last weekend when we were having our siesta on an island somewhere down south, and usually Wii-related injuries and deaths isn't really of an eyebrow raiser, but in this case, its interesting because the aforementioned lady, Jennifer Strange, 28 (who was participating in a 'hold your wee for a Wii' contest) died when she ingested too much water which resulted in a 'bodily electrolyte instability thingy'. She was trying to win the Wii for her three kids. Sauce taken from MSNBC, which was from AP

Another death which intrigued us when we did a simple Wii death search on Google was the death of former US President Gerald Ford whom (from NewsBlog 5000) "had just finished playing a round of golf and thought he would give Tennis a try. He went for the initial serve and banged his knuckles on a ceiling fan. The strap from the controller caught in the fan blades, and the President was pulled off his feet, spun around the room three times, and finally hurled into the wall at high velocity. He emerged from the incident unharmed, but then held the controller too close to his chest and pushed the A and B buttons at the same time, killing him stone dead."

So much for the Wii trying to be a casual console LOL
