Printer Orchestra – The Times They Are A-Changin’ [Video]
To launch our new range of state-of-the-art, multifunction, inkjet printers, we created a full-scale orchestra, made entirely out of discarded relics from the old world of printing. Printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, modems, hard drives — a scrapheap symphony, reprogrammed and rewired to perform Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’”. Because the old world […]
New Microsoft tablet: below the Surface
Notorious gadget-fiddlers iFixit say you’ll have to be pretty determined if you want to repair or upgrade the Microsoft Surface tablet yourself. But the limitations are as much about it being a tablet as the way Microsoft has put it together. The Surface is already in weird territory as most early reviews conclude that the […]
Mother Nature Gave Birth to a Keyboard
In a world where ‘modern design’ usually involves glass and polymers, Robbie Tilton was sick of nature being left out in the cold. For those glued to their desks and missing a little greenery in their lives, allow us to introduce you to the “Natural Keyboard”. Tilton went through a lot of effort to figure […]
Raspberry Pi Lovers Share their Projects
Last night around 50 people gathered in a science park to watch a man switch on a lamp. Fortunately this was very much a case of the process being more important than the outcome. This wasn’t a group of yokels getting their first exposure to electricity, but rather Bristol’s latest “Raspberry Jam” event, a showcase […]
Lenovo’s Mega Touchscreen PC (and TV?)

The difference is that the actual system is going to be built for it – Windows 8 is going to be designed for touch screens. And Lenovo […]

Robot Turtles?
Yep, robots are invading the oceans. So what if turtles are dying out? We’ll replace them with these robotic babies. Ok, not really. This is a turtle-inspired cargo vessel, from what I can tell. It travels at about 7 knots and stores its goods in its little shell. There’s also space in there for its […]
iExpander Adds Physical Features to iPhones
Charlie Corry and his team wanted features on the iPhone that simply weren’t there. Instead of whining to Apple about it, they decided to build these features themselves, in what they’re calling the iExpander. They have built a prototype for the iPhone 4 and 4S as well as one for the iPhone 5. Here’s a […]
Nintendo Wii U to be region locked
If you believe region-coding is just so early 21st century, you’ll be disappointed to hear Nintendo has announced the Wii U console will indeed discriminate on grounds of geography. The company has officially confirmed a report from a Japanese gaming magazine that, as most of its previous non-portable consoles, the system will be region-locked. In […]
