In a world where we have purported the benefits of smartphones only to give them to 4 year olds to play Angry Birds, it’s inspiring to see an app that’s literally saving lives. And that it comes from a 13 year old is astounding. Liron Bar came up with this app called “Color Red” which […]

By comparasion with today’s standards, that seems awfully low, but back then, most software and games would fit on a single floppy. Fast forward 30 years, Sandisk, among with plenty of […]
Self-modded by a 5th grade teacher, this is one hell of a geek ride. Double-whammy with the R2-D2 design and a vespa! Woot. And apparently all it took was “adhesive vinyl, some meticulous cutting and a 12-pack of beer”. Go at it! [Morgan | Via The Mary Sue and Geekologie]
Yet more technology (like these real tractor beams) that seems inspired by the wonderful Star Trek Universe. It seems Microsoft have started developing a Universal Translator-esque system that outputs translated text in real time…in the voice of the speaker. Obviously, speech-to-text recognition software isn’t exactly brand new – Siri has become quite an established example […]
Filmed with the GoPro HD Hero 2 in 720p and 60 fps. I put the camera inside a tissue box and attached a laser pointer on top of it. Shoe laces were tied to the laser pointer, which allowed me to move the box around. [GoPro HD HERO2 | TTCdirecktor]
