The Phone-O-Scope, by iPhone mod extraordinaire Bhautik Joshi, is an optical coupler which allows you to attach an SLR lens to your iPhone. If you’ve been looking for a way to add some DSLR power to your camera phone, an app probably isn’t the way to go, especially when you can get the real thing with a roll of duct ...

The future is now… almost. Soon enough, we’ll have no need for conventional electronic outlets because everything will be powered via USB.

Soggy cardboard might be the least intimidating material ever. You can’t even give someone a paper cut with that shit. These costumes might work as a Halloween costume on a dry night, but for fighting ...
