macbook air pc runs windows without parallels
August 26, 2009 by technabob · Leave a Comment
Of course, that#8217;s because this cheap Chinese knock-off isn#8217;t a MacBook at all. It#8217;s a Windows PC in sheep#8217;s clothing.
Doing its best impression of the MacBook Air, this clone is designed to run Windows, not MacOS (check out the Windows key on the keyboard!) The machine features a #8220;full metal jacket#8221; case, and an#8230;
laptop case for macbook pro against crime: weird name for a weird product

Wow. This is mildly mind blowing. When something is called a emLaptop Case for Macbook Pro Against Crime/em, you#8217;d think that you already know what the product is and what it#8217;s for #8211; as opposed to something like Xbox 360. Then you realize #8211; just what the hell is this thing? And how is it#8230;
music cage doesn’t need a bird to chirp tunes

In movies, cartoons and RPGs, nothing says #8220;Good Morning!#8221; like a couple of birds chirping. Except of course someone actually saying #8220;Good Morning!#8221; But I#8217;d rather not have birds as pets if it means locking them up in a cage. Plus I#8217;d have to clean up their poop. So I#8217;d rather have nendo#8217;s music-cage #8211;#8230;

The gamers among us have all had those nights of long hours and dry eyes, the mutters of #8220;just a little further,#8221; and the bleary post-victory mornings when there is just not enough coffee in the world. That#8217;s what playing emLumines/em is like, except it lasts forever, or until someone forcibly takes the game away from#8230;

#8220;First aid here!#8221; And by here, I potentially mean in your house, stashed somewhere convenient for grabbing in the event of zombie apocalypse.
emLeft 4 Dead/em fans are pretty industrious, but replica first aid kits is definitely on the more creative end of the crafty spectrum. At the Etsy storefront 16 bits of Fashion Fury, sindeegee#8230;
xbox 360 controller bento box: no red rings of rice here

Bento box maker extraordinaire Laura Bento created this edible Xbox 360 controller meal for her husband. The Xbox 360 bento box was made from many items not found in a conventional Xbox 360 #8211; including seedless cucumbers, grapes, japanese yam cakes, egg white, star jelly pudding and teriyaki-flavored SPAM among other delicacies. But the main#8230;
art math: steampunk technology + bones = “osteomechanicsâ€

Ron Bell has been a cinematographer for 25 years, but in his spare time he likes to play with bones. And copper. And aluminum. And glass. What does he do with all these components? Why, he constructs “osteomechanic†sculptures, of course!

cigarette lighter: in more ways than one. like, two.

Our emFun for Two Minutes Gadget of the Day/em is a cigarette lighter that#8217;s shaped like a cigarette. That#8217;s like a bread knife that#8217;s shaped like bread. Or a space shuttle that#8217;s shaped like space. Use it as an icebreaker or a mustache-burning prank. Feel free to light stuff with it. Although judging by its size,#8230;

If I saw this giant creepy spider scurrying across my ceiling in the middle of the night, I#8217;d be on the phone to Orkin faster than you can say #8220;spiderpig#8221;.
Now you too can freak the hell out of your significant other with this oversize remote-controlled spider with glowing LED eyeballs. No Boundaries#8217; infrared R/C#8230;
decepticon microcassettes: where’s soundwave?
August 25, 2009 by Syndicated · Leave a Comment
A robot that turns into a microcassette player seems like an awfully dumb idea #8211; once it transforms it#8217;s so small that even a 10-year old can smash it to bits #8211; but Takara #38; Hasbro have pulled it off. The robot was originally called #8211; drum roll please #8211; emCassetteman/em; fortunately his name was#8230;
