While the chances of you ever owning a proper full-scale replica of the Ecto-1 car from Ghostbusters are slim to none (Unless you have around $50 000 to tempt a collector with), getting your hands on one-sixth scale replica is a tad bit easier, albeit equally pricy alternative.

We'll be visiting 1984 again with Paul Greengrass directing

One of my favourite books is the dystopia novel 1984 by George Orwell, a book that projected the worries and concerns of the post-war era into a future where government, aided by technology, controlled the population. Come to think of it, it’s not too far removed from what is happening now with NSA hacks, drones spying on you, and Trevor constantly peeping …

  Big brother is watching you. A couple of decades ago, that might have felt laughable at best, but these days I can’t even tweet about my ass-gas without an FBI black ops team invading my room and telling me to get my hands in the air and wave ’em around like I do very much care. George Orwell saw …

Remember the year 1984? I don’t because I hadn’t popped into existence yet, but for a lot of people, it was the year that proved George Orwell wrong, as the world had not become an oppressive dictatorship yet.

Kinect’s Not Spying On you. Honest!

Kinect’s sensors are active as long as the Xbox itself is switched on. Waving at, or speaking to the device act as inputs. The tinfoil-hat brigade are busy wringing their hands wondering if the internet-connected, camera-based system allows “THE MAN” to spy on people at will. Microsoft’s Phil Spencer says that’s not the case. Of course, the particularly paranoid won’t …
