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]

To launch our new range of state-of-the-art, multifunction, inkjet printers, we created a full-scale orchestra, made entirely out of discarded relics from the old world of printing. Printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, modems, hard drives — a scrapheap symphony, reprogrammed and rewired to perform Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’”. Because the old world […]
Notorious gadget-fiddlers iFixit say you’ll have to be pretty determined if you want to repair or upgrade the Microsoft Surface tablet yourself. But the limitations are as much about it being a tablet as the way Microsoft has put it together. The Surface is already in weird territory as most early reviews conclude that the […]

For those glued to their desks and missing a little greenery in their lives, allow us to introduce you to the “Natural Keyboard”. Tilton went through a lot of effort to figure […]
Last night around 50 people gathered in a science park to watch a man switch on a lamp. Fortunately this was very much a case of the process being more important than the outcome. This wasn’t a group of yokels getting their first exposure to electricity, but rather Bristol’s latest “Raspberry Jam” event, a showcase […]
Windows 8 is coming and it’s bringing with it touchscreen computing. Of course, touchscreen computers aren’t anything particularly new – I believe HP has had one for ages. The difference is that the actual system is going to be built for it – Windows 8 is going to be designed for touch screens. And Lenovo […]
Today only: Just $159.99 for a 256GB Crucial SSD hard drive. That’s 47% off the drive’s initial retail price of $299.99.

Yep, robots are invading the oceans. So what if turtles are dying out? We’ll replace them with these robotic babies. Ok, not really. This is a turtle-inspired cargo vessel, from what I can tell. It travels at about 7 knots and stores its goods in its little shell. There’s also space in there for its […]
Charlie Corry and his team wanted features on the iPhone that simply weren’t there. Instead of whining to Apple about it, they decided to build these features themselves, in what they’re calling the iExpander. They have built a prototype for the iPhone 4 and 4S as well as one for the iPhone 5. Here’s a […]
