Look, as much as we'd like to pretend that Star Wars is still a geeky niche franchise, it's become a cultural phenomenon. Nonetheless, there are still a whole host of geeky things related to the space epic. One of those is deeming 4 May "Star Wars Day" (if you don't understand it, you're not a real fan). In celebration of Luke, Yoda, and Darth, we decided to grab some of our favourite tweets: Death Star PR can always ...

Peter Parker is back and he's on quest for truth. These superheros always seem to be. Columbia Pictures has released the latest trailer of the geeky superhero with spidey senses.

The enemy is, of course, still IBM. Oh, and get this, ...

His daily route opened his eyes to the inconsistency of railway transport in his hometown of Cape Town, and in South Africa as a whole. The given timetable is unreliable.

The people who design cars are all entrepreneurs in their own way: they actively seek new and better ways to utilize and access the world as we know it from within the realms of your car’s cabin.
