Copyright law is one of those flaky things that seems to change every minute, from country to country. For example if you’re in Canada and want to watch a US TV show live on television, the Canadian equivalent of the FCC, an entity called CRTC which is designed more to protect big businesses than to protect any Canadian culture that might exist, forces you to watch it on a Canadian channel. Why? Some might ask. [...]
Running an HTPC has never been easier with the sheer amount of remote control devices that have recently appeared on the market, from the afore-reviewed Candyboard MiniWing, to Android devices remotes like gMote and others, and now it’s never looked as good with XBMC. Actually no, that was slightly misleading because the HBMC interface has existed since 2003. It’s obviously evolved eversince and now offers amazing integration and apart from just a few plug-ins missing [...]
With the advent of the winter months comes the dreaded office environment temperature variable. Invariably, this variable, is what makes us all sick with the winter blues, maybe under the form of a slight cold as depicted by having the sniffles, or perhaps under the more dreaded form of getting the seasonal flu. What causes it? Well, I remember years ago working in a building that would change their ventilation air filters twice a year, [...]

Ah the comedy laugh track… most shows can do without it, but there is no arguing that it is part of what made Seinfeld, well… Seinfeld. The thing about it is, that when you take Seinfeld’s laugh track, and its retro porno-esque tune and mix it with certain scenes from Game of Thrones, it makes them somewhat funny. Don’t believe me? See for yourself. [Source]
The new 5.11 Light for Life flashlight made by Tactical is deemed revolutionary for three reasons. Firstly the company claims it’s the last flashlight you will ever buy, secondly because it’s not powered by batteries but instead uses ultracapacitors that are phenomenally quick to charge, and slow to discharge. The flashlight charges in 90 seconds and lasts almost two hours! Tactical claim that the unit can recharge 50.000 times before any degradation is noticed so [...]
Uberreview reader Melissa directed us to this useful Death Star pumpkin carving guide that she created. It might look like a lot of work, and is, but she takes you through step-by-step so you should end up with some respectable results and more importantly: you will have a pumpkin that puts the neighbors’ efforts to shame. Which is, when it comes down to it, what pumpkin carving is all about. From Melissa Frame’s Mainframe Review: [...]
5D robotics in collaboration with DRS Systems have released a military robot advertisement that is out of this world and closer to what we’d find in video games like Deus-Ex or Portal. In fact if you close your eyes it might remind you of a little game called Black Mesa… The advert for the AMP, a robotic ranger robot that can perform several tasks particularly well suited for military operations has probably deliberately made that way. Not [...]

![Pepsi Energy Cola, Now With More Vader [Taste Test]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2012-11-01-17.27.37-768x1024.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
While reeling from the news that George Lucas had just signed Lucasfilm over to Disney, I chanced upon a discovery at my local supermarket: Star Wars branded Pepsi Energy Cola. For those who do not know, Pepsi has a history of doing things a little differently in Japan – so I thought, why not? You only live once. Do I really want to go to my grave without sampling the results of Pepsi’s latest taste-making [...]
![Ghostbuster Backflips Over Cop and Gets Arrested [Video]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/ghostbuster-backflip-arrest.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
Now, if history has taught us anything it is that alcohol and drunken hijinks usually start with fun and end in tears – as this drunken Ghostbuster’s night did sometime after he successfully backflipped over a police officer. We have absolutely no idea what motivated the stunt, but the police car was there and our hero took the opportunity when it arrived. He landed on his feet, which is pretty impressive, but I think it [...]
In case you had not heard, Disney just acquired Lucasfilm for enough money to bailout a small-medium bank, announced that they would be working on Episode VII – and the Interwebs erupted with a million NOOOOOOOOOOOOS. Allow me to play the devil’s advocate for a moment. A couple of years ago I was at a seminar in which the lead counsel for Disney Japan gave a very interesting speech. Most of it involved the need [...]
It’s unknown if the software they use in the advert to speak with dolphin actually works or if, more likely, it’s a Hollywood trick. However the video shows off the new Acer Ultrabook that boasts a tactile screen and Windows 8 operating system. That S7 Ultrabook also has an Intel Core i7 CPU and looks really sweet too! Almost entirely too much like a Macbook Air! And boys, let’s face it, the lady in the [...]
