Toshiba & Star Trek team up for products, downloads and prizes
I’ve never heard of a lapjack in my life. In fact, I have a feeling Toshiba has just invented them, but brand anything with the new Star Trek film and you’ve got my attention. Apparently, they’re “highly-durable, good-quality skins that enable you to personalise your laptop, as well as adding an extra layer of protection”. They seem to be some kind of photo-quality sticker. Maybe a bit thicker than your average. Maybe not.
Anyway, this is all part of a deal that Tosh has got with the Star Trek picture that also involves downloads, such as the wallpaper after the jump, and a competition that you’ll automatically enter when you buy certain Toshiba goodies that you find on the dedicated Trek/Tech site. See what I did there?
The winner gets a trip out to Vegas where they’ll be able to experience the dream of weightlessness through the simulator aircraft known as G-Force One. Now, if memory serves, that’s a stripped out Boeing 727-200 affectionately known in the movie trade as the Vomit Comet which goes up very high and then drops into virtual free fall. Good luck with that one.
Instead, if you prefer your semi-digested food on the inside, then just head over and pick yourself up some wallpaper. Enjoy.

WIN WIN WIN! – Nintendo DS and a copy of Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance
Gosh, this is very exciting. If you’re one of the few people in Britain who don’t have a DS yet, or your kid is, and they’re bugging you about it, then you might fancy entering this competition. We’ve got a Nintendo DS and a copy of Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance to give away.
The game has a storyline exclusive to the DS, lets you use your stylus as a lightsaber, and you can put together ridiculous pairings of characters, like Mace Windu and R2-D2. Sounds fun, right? So how do you enter? Easy. Simply visit this page, fill in your details, and then hope. May the Force be with you.

Computer WINS BIG in poker tournament
Poker-playing computer Polaris kicked the bottoms of several top poker players last week, raking in a profit of some $150,000 for its developers at the University of Alberta.
The human players, with frankly stupid names like Nick “stoxtrader” Grudzien, Matt “Hoss_TBF” Hawrilenko and IJay “doughnutz” Palansky, won two games, drew one and lost three to Polaris, which has…
