PS3 Laptop
Our favorite gaming console modder, Ben Heck, is back at it again. We have already seen his Xbox 360 Elite Laptop mod and more recently his NES Cartridge mod and now his brings us this super sexy PS3 Laptop mod.
As light or as small as a netbook it is not but it’s still impressive how [...]
New Commodore Laptop, Yes I Said Commodore
With Asus having such great success with their UMPC the eeePC, why not have everyone jump into the game? Commodore (the machine that brings me such great memories of my hacking youth) seems to be jumping into the small laptop market. This tiny laptop was spotted at IFA. Not much is known yet about the [...]
A PS3 Laptop Not By Ben Heck
Here’s another Playstation 3 laptop, and surprisingly enough, it wasn’t slapped together by our beloved modder, Ben Heck. This mod features a 17″ 720p HDTV, 320GB Hard Drive, built in speakers, and a keyboard.
Now if a modder could only shrink my 360 down to the size of an actual laptop, then I’d be so impressed [...]
Control Your Computer With A Wii Remote
Probably the hardest thing to find this past holiday season was a Nintendo Wii, believe me I looked. Even now that the holidays are over it’s still really hard to get your hands on one. With all of the crazy fanaticism over the Wii and it’s Wiimote game play why not build your own? Okay [...]

Great Laptop battery hack
The one thing I love about the web is the amazing things you stumble across and the many things you learn. I stumbled across this laptop battery hack when I was trying to figure out what to do about the dead battery on my old Toshiba laptop that my wife and kids use from [...]
Hacker Conference: Before
So, you are getting ready for your first Hacker conference, you have no idea what to expect. Here is what I did, and I’ll tell you how it worked out: What I should have brought and what I shouldn’t have, etc.
I should precursor this by saying, this may be my first trip to Defcon, but [...]

Inflight USB: Power for you gadgets from an audio jack
The Inflight USB Power Unit connects directly to the headphone jack found in most commercial airlines. The unit passes power to your gadgets via a USB connection. It would be better if every seat had a power jack (Air Canada’s A320 does!), but instead we are stuck with audio jacks. It uses and ingenious trickle [...]
Yoggie Pico Firewall
We all know how necessary it is to have some form of virus or spyware protection on our computers, we also know how great a hit they can be to processor performance when we are stuck using a slow laptop. The Yoggie Pico offloads those security requirements to a small USB dongle that serves as [...]
MicPort Pro: Podcasting Dream
If you’re like me you probably own a metric ton load of microphones from all of those podcasts you might do (okay I realize some of you might not do podcasts). I’ve been known to drop a pretty penny on microphones and other gear, hell I even own a mic that I paid over $500 [...]
UNI – The Modular Computer
Richard Choi had developed a modular computer concept called UNI. In UNI, every important functional part of the PC is separated and broken up into individual modules. Whenever you want to upgrade your computer all you have to do is buy the required module and plug it in.
The designer has also named each module with [...]
Changing traffic lights
Posted by Frank on November 29, 1999 · Leave a Comment
I’m a bit of a skeptic about these whole “Making elevators come fast” or “Changing Street lights quickly” kind of hacks. KipPlay has brought us some interesting videos in the past that have been quite useful, like the Laptop Battery Hack and the Hack Your Remote Control video, but this one leaves me guessing so [...]
