TAG RESULTS FOR: display

Last year, John Savio, Apple fanboy and avid Halloween fan, created an iPhone 3GS costume that impressed the geek community. It was both a thing of beauty and yet somehow aesthetically ‘off.’ He incorporated a display that made the costume look like a functioning device, but the form factor was all wrong. The corners were too squared… the width too — wide. It left you feeling torn. But this year, Mr. Savio has mastered his art with the iPhone 4... Continue reading

Troika’s POV Ping Pong Bats offer something previously only available to connoisseurs of ping pong themed comic books (is there such a thing?). Visual sound effects. Not quite sound at all really, but more a descriptive word which not only adds a touch of zing to the game but helps the hearing impaired understand that there are potentially elements of the game that they’re missing. I don’t care if my opponent is deaf and blind. I’m still going to lose.... Continue reading

Wouldn’t be cool if you could turn any surface into a multitouch display? Portuguese company Displax says it’s not only possible, it’s plausible and practical. The company says it is bringing to market a multitouch capable, super-thin polymer “skin” that can be applied to any material — flat, curved, opaque, transparent, you name it — creating a digital muli-touch surface virtually anywhere, from a wristband to a desktop to a pane of clear glass. Displax claims their skins will work... Continue reading

Most of the activity in my kitchen eventually leads to the microwave. I use my oven almost solely for making grilled cheese sandwiches. All the other hot prepared food gets a first-glass ticket for the center of my microwave’s revolving plate. I’m always sort of torn on what to do as I wait for my food to be done though. I mean, it’s not like two minutes is enough time to go catch a flick or even read a chapter... Continue reading

That’s right, you heard me. You can take your smartphone and shove it up your ass. This particular iPhone user was apparently not having a good day. Link [via]

If you’ve been looking for a way to carry all of your old NES games around without having to lug around the entire NES console this project will probably flip your lid. A clever modder built an NES emulator and a display inside of an old NES cartridge. But that’s not all. Aside from NES, this cartridge is also capable of playing Game Boy games, Game Boy Color games and MP3s.

Forget netbooks. Displays and portability are both overrated. You need peripherals with entire PCs shoved into them and you need them now, hungry man. Lucky for you, ASUS had just enough time to whip up a keyboard with a whole goddamned computer shoved inside it. Standard 1.6Ghz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, etc. Not a powerhouse, but hey, it’ll do. The kicker is that the Eee PC Keyboard has a small five-inch touchscreen you can use in conjunction with... Continue reading

iPhone developer Steven Troughton-Smith updated his iPhone port of Doom to not only take advantage of the iPhone’s TV-out features but also utilize its touchscreen as an interface for the game. Why he decided to display the game on an old monochrome Apple II monitor is beyond me. We get it, Steven: you love Apple. For now, there are no plans for adding TV-out to the public Doom build for the iPhone, although Steven says that he’s open to investigating... Continue reading

Don’t you hate it when you buy something just to have it become old and outdated the moment it arrives at your door? That’s what happened with my Acer Aspire One netbook but I’m not too worried about it. You see, this kind of thing happens to me all the time. So much, in fact, that it doesn’t even bother me. I welcome it. Personally, I’m fine with my netbook’s 8.9-inch screen. The company behind it, however, wants to kick... Continue reading
