Look at all of the nasty things going on in this apartment. Shitting, fucking, killing, stealing and even tripping are revealed when this magic apartment light is lit up. With the lights off, this house looks like nothing out of the ordinary, but flip the switch and you’re in for a big surprise. The things people do when I’m not ...

What better way for a father and son to spend the Thanksgiving weekend together than to build a robot out of a tin can and an Arduino. As far as robots go, this little autonomous aluminum can seeks out light and moves in the direction of it. The creator cleverly refers to this as a “flashlight leash.” With an Arduino, ...

I found this photo on Phillip Torrone’s Flickr page. Looks like he got a minute away from MAKE to check out some robots or something. Very cool.

If you’ve seen the film There Will Be Blood, there’s a scene where Daniel Day Lewis calls his adopted son a “bastard from a basket.” I think that phrase sums up this controller nicely. The action of the PS3 with the cumbersome feel of an Xbox 360 controller. Brilliant. Who dunnit? None other than Ben Heck himself. Link [via]

The U110 and U115 stress battery longevity,� with a 6-cell battery that comes standard, an upgraded Intel Atom processor that uses 20% less power and a hybrid storage device that also ...

Last night’s episode of The Simpsons featured a rather funny parody on Apple. The company, Mapple, produces Mypods, Myphones and Mycube. Lisa gets a Mypod and gets addicted to downloading. I won’t spoil the rest, just take five and check out the video. Yes, Steve Mobs makes an appearance. Link [via]

Some say that I have a thing for glowing, ambient lights. Very true. Hence why I’m kind of going ga-ga over LumiGram’s LumiTable. It’s a 63″ x 13″ and costs $195 but boy will it pay off when you throw a party. It’s made of LumiGram’s proprietary fiber optic material called Luminex (boy, such originality with product names!). The LumiTable ...

I don’t know shit about this video other than it’s awesome and the guy is using a custom MIDI drum setup to beat the Dragonforce song that’s on Guitar Hero 3. Very cool. Link

Jack Newton is a fan of science. A dedicated fan. His decision to permanently print a portrait of the world famous physicist Stephen Hawking on his leg not only proves his die-hard attitude towards science but also demonstrates his excellent taste in body art. The tattoo – complete with a Monty Python line from the classic Life of Brian film ...

If you own a Playstation 3, get your ass on over to Radioshack.com or a retail store. They’re offering $30 DualShock 3 controllers for all your gaming needs and since they normally retail at $55 a pop, you could most definitely buy up a few and sell them later. Either way, it’s a win-win situation for PS3 owners today. Sale ...
