Courtesy of Instructables user Marty Mcface, we are now capable of creating our very own Internetz! Congratulations to us. We rule!

Head over to Instructables to learn how to ...

After much, much, much adieu, the Playstation 3 has finally been “jailbroken,” the last major console to be cracked. Who was capable of such sheer genius hackery?� The same guy who first jailbroke the iPhone, Mr. George Hotz, better known on the web as Geohot. What’s even more impressive is that it took him merely five weeks to penetrate the ...

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, this Gameboy Advance Touch might seem like some sort of new console in the Gameboy line, but alas, no such console exists. This “console” is nothing more than an iPhone with a fancy gutted Gameboy Advance case. While this might be nothing more than a simple iPhone case, it’ll be fun to briefly fool ...

Just make sure your My Little Pony in Carbonite is far beyond reach. I wouldn’t put it past the Snowhutt to bounty that thing off to the highest bidder.

Adding to the awesomeness of his 2008 LEGO computer, Luke Anderson created this DIY project which helps you create your very own internet router built from LEGO bricks. Based around the Linksys WRT54GL router model, the LEGO Router works just like its Linksys counterpart except for its brick-tastic style. Basically Anderson took the innards of a perfectly usable Linksys router ...

If your the kind of man that works with his hands, you might want to make sure everyone knows that the creations that come from your hands are all yours. But first off, you might want to mark those paws of yours as a little more than simple personal body parts. The Copyright/Copyleft Gloves mark your hands as pieces of ...
