I have wondered for quite some time how vending machines tell the difference between actual coins or fake money and slugs. It’s actually pretty straight forward, but cool to see anyway. Definitely a cool insight into how these machines work (and also, for those wondering, the amazing Skittle vending machines you see in photo above […]
Let’s admit it, gamers. Wires muddy up our gaming areas, they really do. Especially if you have multiple consoles like a lot of gamers do. I, myself, have every major gaming system since the original NES, so on one wall of my living room are the retro systems (N.E.S, Genesis, N64 etc,) set up on […]
We usually keep things pretty mild around here, but geeks love science and what is more scientific than trying to figure out why heart cancer is so rare? It is the kind of video that opens your eyes and makes you think about something completely differently after seeing it. Plus, we can all learn a […]
So there seems to be a big buzz about just how powerful the new Xbox Scorpio console is (hands down most powerful console to date), and what that will mean for Microsoft, who have been struggling with the Xbox One since its release. But what Scorpio is doing right now is filling us with more […]
Good news for fans of Black Mirror who were scared there might be some drop in quality of content now that it has jumped over the pond and is now being produced by Netflix. Put those fears to rest. This Black Mirror is just as dark and revelatory as the first two seasons. I know, […]
I am gonna be honest. I don’t even feel bad for this person. Quite the other extreme, actually. I think if you are desperate enough to conform with new tech the minute it comes out, yet want to skimp or get a deal, you deserve crap like this for trying to cut corners. It is […]
Video game hacking may seem like fun and ‘games’ (see what I did there?), but the reality of that subculture is sometimes people are caught and have to face fairly sizable consequences for their actions (hacktions should be a word, by the way). This list focuses on some “hackers” who ended ended up getting sued for […]
So apparently, flubber is now a thing you can make at home. Sadly, it will not become sentient like the classic Jerry Lewis and Robin Williams’ movie. What it WILL do might impress you, though, as someone encased an iPhone SE in the stuff and then dropped it off a building. Now if you’ll excuse […]
Since childhood, most geeks have been attracted to the Spirograph. Simple enough in execution, but exquisite in detail, they are science, math, art, and geometric magic, all merged in one. Joe Freedman of Leaf may have taken that appreciation of the Spirograph even further with his remarkable Cycloid Drawing Machine. So what is a Cycloid […]
It seems like a simple question most computer geeks would be able to answer: Does your computer slow down over time and get, essentially, weaker? So what is your answer? Exactly, you want to say yes but are truly unsure of the specs and details. That, my fellow geeks, is exactly why you should watch […]
