Billy Chasen thought that using keys to open his office was so 2000 so he decided to build a door lock/unlock system via text message. Using a servo motor, a tiny web server, and some piping claps from Home Depot he built a unit that can lock or unlock a door via a text message. [...]

The guys behind MacHeist are at it again. This time they are offering $154 in apps for free. Yes I said for free as in speech and beer. I’m not sure how the developers or the guys at MacHeist are making any money from this since it’s all free, maybe they are building up their [...]

I’m always up for a good practical joke, especially the kind that involves electronics and can drive people mad. Get your soldering guns out kids, this is a good one.

Do you remember the Nomad? Sega’s first attempt at a portable gaming device that allowed you to play Sega Genesis games? No? Let me refresh your memory.
