If, like me, you’ve never looked at a box of K’nex and thought “that would be the ideal thing to make a back-mounted gatling gun” then this Instructable will be a real education. Requiring 6100 pieces and capable of firing 60 shots in very short order (then taking about five minutes to reload), it’s not [...]
Intel’s Atom CPU might have been initially intended for netbooks and other low-power ultraportables, but that didn’t stop desktop manufacturers eyeing up the efficient chip for use in stationary PCs. ASUS’ Eee Box is one such example: Atom’s low heat output and mild thirst for electricity add up to an economical and compact desktop. However [...]
An awful lot of people are getting frantically excited about a supposed leaked advert showing the upcoming MacBook Pro refresh. You can understand the excitement: a casing similar to that of the MacBook Air, and less than one inch thick. Weight down to 5.1lbs. WiFi getting a boost to 802.11n. Unfortunately, the ad isn’t real [...]

“Donations will be treated with a chemical that can hold solid particulates in [...]
After the iPhone launch I expected all kinds of stories to pop up about it, yet never in a million years did I imagine this one coming up. Although the item has been removed from eBay, at one point there was a seller attempting sell a haunted iPhone.
If you’ve ever tried juggling your cellphone while holding an umbrella, you’ll know that you’re more likely to stab yourself in the eye than successfully take a call. Still, Mikhail Stawsky’s Bluetooth Umbrella concept still looks pretty sweet; as well as doing the usual duties of keeping your head dry, the handle also contains a [...]
The great thing about toast is that it’s fast - slap bread into toaster, wait a couple of minutes, there’s your toast. Usually you don’t have to worry about it taking your eye out or possibly maiming you, but that’s the fire you’re playing with if you’re trying to toast with Freddie Yauner’s “The Highest [...]
Believe me when I say I’ve never been tempted by a novelty GPS voice until now. Mio are set to release a Knight Rider-themed sat-nav system that features the authentic voice of KITT. That’s right, not a naff impersonation, but actual voice prompts and comments from actor William Daniels. It’s fun from the first time [...]
