Duke Nukem Forever Refuses To Die!
January 10th, 2010It’s been going on 13 years since Duke Nukem Forever was first announced, and you’d think that the closing of its developer, 3D Realms last year, and the effective cancellation of the game would be enough to take down the Duke for good.
Well, think again…maybe. Read the rest of this entry “
Arduino security with frickin’ laser
January 10th, 2010
[over9k] used his Arduino to set up a laser trip wire. The laser is mounted along side the Arduino, reflects off of a mirror, and shines on a photoresistor that interfaces via a voltage divider. The signal from the voltage divider is monitored for a change when the laser beam is broken. [over9k] set things up so that a webcam snaps a picture of the intruder and Twitters the event for easy notification. Video after the break walks through each of these steps.

HTC’s Touch.B gets demonstrated
January 2nd, 2010
This isn’t going to be fun, so we’ll just say it and get it over with: the HTC Touch.B isn’t the updated Android smartphone we’d been hoping for. As it turns out it isn’t even a smartphone, relegated to the realm of the featurephone by running Qualcomm’s BrewMP OS. Full Flash support is nice, and we must say the UI has a charming, simple look to it, but it all looks a little… limited, and that screen seems awfully small given the size of the phone now that it’s been turned on. See for yourself: there’s a quick video demo after the break to get you primed for this one to ship sometime next year.
Adidas + star wars = Greatness
November 22nd, 2009
Adidas Imperial Stormtropper sneakers. You know, so you can run faster when random people start chasing you down the street. To beat the crap out of you. Or ask where did you buy them. It can go either way.
There are also Darth Vader shoes and hoodies, all part of next year’s Adidas Star Wars Collection. Check out the rest of the images at [Kicks on Fire—Thanks Ponies]
