DIYs & Mods

Ben Heck forum contributor OMGpedobear created this Nintedo Wii Laptop from scratch, including some pretty cool LED action, if you’re into that sort of thing. While the internals might not be the most organized or secured set-up we’ve ever seen, we always love to see modding geniuses working for the geeky cause of making full-scale gaming as mobile as possible. ...

Most of us aren’t blessed enough to build our very own full-sized or even snack-sized movie theater in our home. But thankfully many of us have been able to pony up the dough for an iPhone. With a little imagination and some help from the wonders of arts and crafts (yes, I realize I sounds like Barney the Dinosaur here. ...

Now that you’re planning on integrating the iPad into your daily browsing scene, you’ve been thinking of cutting down on some of your other gadgets since the iPad is supposed to be such an “amazing” browsing experience. Ok, that’s cool. Understandable. But it’d be a shame to just toss your old iBook G4 into the wind with the birds. There’s ...

That’s all we need is to rehash the underwhelming experience of the iPad unveiling, but alas, this diorama does exactly that, illustrating El Jobso displaying the iPad over his head like it was some sort of baby lion royalty. Sure it’s cure and all, dude, but if anything the iPhone unveiling would be the announcement worthy of a diorama. But ...

There’s nothing a little tape won’t fix. Ever wondered how to fit in with the rest of your college buddies? Grab an apple and a big ole’ roll of tape and get to it. No one will be able to tell the difference, I promise. They still haven’t figured out your scale in an iPhone costume isn’t actually an iPhone, ...

Need I say more? In this case I indeed do need to say more. Have you ever considered the piles of piles of ink cartridges rotting at our nation’s landfills. Not sure what the half-life is on those things, but something tells me there’s a whole lot more use you can get out of them. And of course, as usual, ...

Courtesy of Instructables user Marty Mcface, we are now capable of creating our very own Internetz! Congratulations to us. We rule! So basically your own personal internet will resemble a black box with a red LED light. Not the most exciting of things. But it’s what you can’t see that’s really magical. Head over to Instructables to learn how to ...

After much, much, much adieu, the Playstation 3 has finally been “jailbroken,” the last major console to be cracked. Who was capable of such sheer genius hackery?� The same guy who first jailbroke the iPhone, Mr. George Hotz, better known on the web as Geohot. What’s even more impressive is that it took him merely five weeks to penetrate the ...

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, this Gameboy Advance Touch might seem like some sort of new console in the Gameboy line, but alas, no such console exists. This “console” is nothing more than an iPhone with a fancy gutted Gameboy Advance case. While this might be nothing more than a simple iPhone case, it’ll be fun to briefly fool ...

It couldn’t get much simpler, even if YouTube added their own download button. Replace the “Y” of any YouTube video URL with a “3” and you’ll be automatically directed to 3ouTube’s awesome download service which allows you to download the video with a click or two. For example, say the URL of the video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgbNymZ7vqY (one of my personal ...
