Chocolate Lego


It was sometime last year that I first came up with the idea of combining two of my favourite things - choclate and Lego - but didn’t really know where to start. I knew I’d need some kind of mold, but never got around to working out the best way to make one.

And then I discovered Lego Ice Cube Trays and immediately knew they’d be perfect for what I wanted. Unfortunately, the Lego shop doesn’t sell the trays in the UK, but a quick search of eBay and I found one.

Google Moon Upgrades with “Street” Views


Google has launched an updated version of their Google Moon maps. You’ll note that there are new astronaut icons that offer information bubbles for landing sites. There’s also a new offering of panoramas of the moon’s surface, which have been taken by the Apollo astronauts. For those of you that knew about the “cheese surface” easter egg found in the previous version of Google Moon maps, you’ll see that this is now gone, and has been replaced with the new “Street View” panoramas of the moon’s surface.

Google backs private Moon landing


Search giant Google is offering a $30m prize pot to private firms that land a robot rover on the Moon.

The competition to send a robot craft to the Moon is being run with the X-Prize Foundation.

To claim the cash, any craft reaching the lunar surface must perform a series of tasks such as shoot video and roam for specific distances.

Firms interested in trying for the prize have until the end of 2012 to mount their Moonshot.

TV Torrents - When Piracy Is Easier Than Purchase


NBC's recent withdraw from the iTunes store leaves the millions of Apple's customers who have Macs or iPods without a legitimate way to purchase and watch NBC's content. Online media stores such as iTunes, Amazon and Walmart have never been able to compete with the pirates on price, or freedom and flexibility — as the content they sell is typically wrapped in restrictive DRM.

Artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince attacks internet


In yet another battle for control of his name, image, and funkadelic music catalog, the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince has launched an attack on the internet.

Teaming up with Web Sheriff, the firm currently known as "Europe's leading internet policing specialist," the Minnesota-born pop star has already ordered YouTube and eBay to remove hundreds of supposedly Prince-infringing web items, and he's intent on filing suit against the two web behemoths - not to mention Swedish BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay.
