Tie-in books often get to tackle things the shows they are based on do not. Sometimes it’s things that would need too many special effects; sometimes it’s letting the X-Men visit the Star Trek universe. In the case of Q-in-Law, it’s letting two giant guest star characters meet. Like the epic meeting between Q, who is…
The new Q fan looks more like a basketball than a fan, but using an internal turbofan it can actually blow about seven times more air than it sucks.
I grew up watching James Bond films. My favorite part was always the same: the part where “Q” would outfit our hero with the latest in spy technology. Ralph Osterhout also grew up loving Bond — but he took it to the next level. He spent his life building real spy gadgets, for operators in the field.
We all know that Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond novels, really did work in intelligence before he turned to writing. But did you know that he really worked with a gadget-obsessed Q?
No, your eyes do not deceive you — that's Picard's fan favorite nemesis Q, holding the new crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in his omnipotent hands! Q takes a trip to visit the new movie-verse in IDW's Star Trek's comic's next adventure, and we have the exclusive details!
It's already official: There's going to be another Star Trek movie. But what elements of Trek lore should they put on the big screen next time? The first two Abrams films already mined Trek's rich history for ideas, but they also left out some stuff. Here are 10 classic Star Trek elements that we'd like to see take…
Time travel opens up all sorts of weird possibilities — especially when you visit your own past. There are paradoxes. There is endless weirdness. The past is a foreign country, so let's invade it and dump our toxic waste there. And so on.
31-year-old British actor Ben Whishaw has been cast as James Bond's gadgetsmith Q in director Sam Mendes' upcoming Bond flick Skyfall. Whishaw previously starred as Ariel in Julie Taymor's The Tempest (right) and is the latest actor to take over the role as 007's armorer. Whishaw follows John Cleese (who last played…
We've finally done it. After more than 40 years, we finally have the green light on a Star Trek theme park, thanks to King Abdullah of Jordan. And it only cost a measly $1.5 billion to do it. I'm buying my ticket now.
There's a lot to like about the new Pentax Q digital camera. It has a slick retro look, five interchangeable lenses and many features of a dSLR packed into a body that's the size of a point and shoot.
When the wireless charging standard you support is floundering and nobody wants to adopt the technology in their actual products, making a wireless mat for portable USB chargers is one dumb way to keep yourself occupied.
That this was taken by an employee of Ngmoco showing off their We Rule app—but all that is irrelevant. This is John de Lancie and Brent Spiner—Q and fucking Data—playing with an iPad. Hell. Yeah. [Facebook via Fidgit]
I haven't carried a Boy Scout backpack in years, but the laptop feature in Timbuk2's latest sounds great: The sleeve is sideloading, meaning you can pull out your laptop without busting open your whole bag and spilling crap everywhere.
If you want to be the gadget inventor for Her Majesty's Intelligence Service, the MI5—British Military Intelligence Section 5— is actually offering the real post now. The best thing: It's part-time.
Just like we thought, Samsung's i770 Saga QWERTY phone and clamshell world phone Renown are available online. The Saga is for sale as of yesterday, going for $200 after a $70 mail-in rebate and with a 2-year contract, and the Renown will go live on November 19th for $180 after a $50 MIR with the 2-year lock-in. The…
Spy-technology aficionados will know about Minox's miniature camera and it's genuine espionage heritage, and now the camera's gone all modern with a digital face lift. A 5-megapixel sensor's been plopped into the Digital SpyCam, which remains tiny at just 3 and 3/8 x 1 and 3/16 x 7/8-inches and weighing in at 2.1…
Overheard in MI6 4th-floor martini lounge: "Man, it used to be fun heading down to Q's lab. Shit blowing up all the time, everyone just grinning and shaking their head knowingly (oh, James) when I accidentally incinerated prototype after expensive and high-time-investment prototype. Now? Dude's just going to down to…
As most of you already know, Quantum of Solace is scheduled to hit theaters on November 14th. The second trailer for the film came out last week and while it does seem to feature some Minority Report-style gadgetry, there is still no "Q" gadget guru in the film. Personally, I love the direction that the Bond character…
When the world is a smoking husk, and all of your heroes are shredded hero-jerky, only a few titanic villains will remain, battling over the spoils of victory. Which villain will be left standing at the end of everything? Two DC Universe mega-villains face off with two of the universe's greatest scourges - and only…
