Just as they say “live by the sword, die by the sword,” the same goes for geeks. Mr. Alan here was such a fan of his Sun SPARCstation that his ashes were placed inside of one (a SPARCstation in pristine condition I might add), complete with a name plate decked out with a quote from what other show then, you ...

Even though we’ve pretty much sworn off paper in exchange for various gadgets, it’s always nice to have a pad of paper and a few stacks of Post-It notes sitting around the house, just in case you need to jot down a phone number really quick or something. This Sticky Note USB Drive saves you a few centimeters by integrating ...

The Apple Blog has an awesome preview of the upcoming upgrade to the best damn Twitter app on the iPhone. Tweetie 2 will feature a totally redesigned UI and will include a crap load of new features including tweet language translation, threaded conversations, landscape mode and much more.

After almost a year in development, Microsoft today releases their freeware Microsoft Security Essentials, a free anti-malware product replacing the hot mess that is Windows Live OneCare. All I can say is it’s about time that Microsoft, the creator of the BSOD, had a free anti-malware alternative. Kudos to Crazy Uncle Ballmer for getting the ball rolling, but really this ...

The ultra-realistic mechanical tumor plugs into your computer, pulsating and growing as your computer works harder and harder. I’m sure designer Mio I-zawa had a more significant symbolization in mind than my nausea can dictate at the moment, but for now all I can think of is not puking. Hit the jump for a super creepy tumor-filled video.

Righties rejoice. Ben Heck has done it again with a brand new mod. This time around the Heck-ster created a one-handed Xbox 360 controller. The addition of a semi-intrusive joystick removes the need for the left side of the controller. An added mechanism on the rear of the controller manages the bumper action. While it’s not as pretty as some ...

Not everyone is in the financial position to buy a keyboard with illuminated keys. That shit can get expensive. Macbooks might come stock with illuminated keys, but my Dell POS sure as hell doesn’t. What if I’m high off my ass in the dark and can’t remember my QWERTY hand placement? Not a pleasant situation. These Glowing Keyboard Stickers, made ...

Perhaps the greenest and most flammable case mod we’ve ever seen, aside from the UbuntuBox, the “Recompute” cardboard PC case shows off how sustainability can not only be cheap, but can ignite your whole house in flames as well. Even if there is a cooling fan, and even if the power supply and mother board are kept at separate ends ...
