The Borg have Assimilated This Car
 |
I only have one question: why would the Borg bother to assimilate an old car? Does it have some hive-mind abilities that we don’t know about? I don’t know and I don’t think it matters, but Craig Smith has definitely modified his car in an unusual fashion. He started the… |

Hello Kitty & White Darth Vaders: the Lighter Side of the Dark Side of the Force
 |
What the hell is Darth Vader doing dressed up in this Hello Kitty outfit? Well, it turns out that Hello Kitty Darth Vader is a Photoshopped fake, made by Count Dookie for The Dented Helmet. He actually calls it the Sanrio Vader and I have to say that it’s not… |

Aphelion Concept Alarm Clock Likes to Play Catch
 |
Even if it becomes a real product, the Aphelion concept alarm clock just might be too clever and wicked to sell. It’s not especially loud, and it doesn’t move around while it rings. What it does is launch a ball, and it won’t stop ringing until the ball is returned… |

Floppy Drive Protects Itself From Its Natural Enemy
 |
What happens when you spill a full cup of coffee under your old Apple 5-1/4″ floppy drive? I’d expect it to either damage the mechanism, or at least make a mess you had to wipe off the bottom of the drive. Well if you think like the guys at Chambers… |

Flud: Best iPad News Reader Yet
 |
I’ve played with a bunch of different news readers for my iPad, and while most of them seem to get the job done, I’ve only come across a couple which really take advantage of the iPad’s native capabilities. FLUD is one of the few out there which really do the… |

Iron Baby: Kid’S Walker Exoskeleton
 |
Want your child to have the best costume come Halloween? Ask Japanese company Sakakibara Kikai to sell you their miniature exoskeleton, which is meant to be driven by kids. It’s not as high-tech as Raytheon’s XOS 2, but it works and it is so damn cute. The controls seem simple… |

Scientists Discover a Real-Life Pac-Man: It Died From a Power Pellet Overdose
 |
Nope, that’s definitely not true. This sculpture comes via DeviantART user Kalapusa. His Pac-Man isn’t really adorable or cute. It’s kind of freaky-looking to be honest, kind of like a floating rat of some sort with an insatiable hunger. Hm, sounds like a potential nightmare or horror flick. These sculptures… |
