Star Trek: The Original Series Remastered Review (Blu-Ray)
December 16, 2009
Although I’m a massive Star Trek fan, I was a little skeptical (in between the excitement) when I bought Star Trek: The Original Series Remastered on Blu-Ray; I wasn’t sure if I was ready for my favourite show to be plagued with cheap CGI like others before it, but I wanted to see how well a 40 year old show could be polished up for Blu-Ray!
I was very happy with the pricing for the box sets, as Trek DVD’s have always been notoriously expensive. You can purchase the remastered DVD’s for £30, and the Blu-Ray versions for a little over £45.

I just had to buy this. It’s the new Star Trek movie on a cool all-metal USB key, and it’s in DIVX!
Well, that’s just what the Xbox 360 / Archos / just about everything (apart from the crapple) I have, loves the most! It will play on six devices and well and.. OH MY GOD. Let’s start at the beginning, and then painfully work our way through everything that’s wrong with it, shall we?

Only watching it sporadically, mildly knowing the characters and hardly caring for any of the other films, I am certain in one thing: I am not a Trekker (and it is with this admission I should probably also admit to quite enjoying the geek factor that Star Trek causes amongst its loyal fan-base).

February 12, 2009
Are you a big fan of Star Trek? Have you ever thought of typing using a Klingon Keyboard? Well now you can with this rather novel keyboard, it’s certainly a step up in the geek-factor from the one we covered in our recent World of Warcraft Keyboard review.
There’s always been various different Star Trek merchandise out there that you can customise your desktop with, but in the case of this Klingon Keyboard, it’s actually based on the best-selling Cherry G83-6000 keyboard with a PS/2 connection and a 105 key layout that has been customised with Klingon lettering and symbols.
