As someone who learned to play the acoustic piano from an early age, is a fan of synthesizers, and is a geek, this ticked all the right boxes — a rather bizarre creation of a voice synthesizer using an acoustic piano.
Check out the video. It’s in German but with subtitles. See if you can understand [...]

When you’re worried about losing two small Apple products — namely the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle and the Apple Remote — then this hack is for you.

The two devices have a similar shape, so were disassembled and then the iPod’s circuit board was connected up to the Apple Remote’s buttons.

If you’ve any old cassette tapes left over after building that floor lamp then you might want to try stuffing your iPod into one, just like the guys over at Contexture Design in Vancouver have.
The great thing is that each unit — a glorious mix of new and old — is likely to be unique, [...]

In memory of (the nearly dead) Internet Explorer 6 comes this nifty little piece of JavaScript that will wreak havoc with your web page, turning it into a pile of unreadable junk that even Steve Ballmer would be proud of.

The IE6IFY site proudly proclaims: “After years of observation and reverse engineering I am proud to [...]

When Apple opened up the dock connector to third party hardware developers with its latest iPhone OS 3.0, I’m not sure it had this kind of application in mind.

I love this marriage of concepts and materials — parts of an analog clock fused with original Atari 2600 video game cartridges.

Sounds trivial doesn’t it? Of course everyone loves to play guitar with a real guitar. But what when it comes to Guitar Hero? There are many Guitar Hero aces among us, but we all play on those pesky plastic guitars. Well the guys from OpenChord have modded a genuine guitar to also function in Guitar [...]

Firstly let me say that, as a Brit, the first mental image I had upon reading about “keyboard pants” wasn’t the best, but once I saw a picture it all became clear.
That still doesn’t mean I fully understand why anyone would want a QWERTY keyboard – a pink, flexible, half-functional silicone keyboard – split across [...]

Presumably using his decent screen real estate to ensure that all the required windows were open at the same time, Google software engineer Matt Cutts decided he was going to mix things up over the weekend.

I took one of my domains, dullest.com, and moved it to TigerTech from pair Networks.
I installed the latest version of [...]

Today I received an interesting email from Alex Winston whose company has been developing a virtual joystick application for the iPhone and iPod touch.
It’s a prototype that allows Wolfenstein 3D to be controlled from a second device connected up using a crossover audio cable.

If you were waiting for a reason to jailbreak your iPhone, this might be exactly that moment you have been waiting for. Mini vMac is a complete emulator of the classic Mac Plus for the iPhone, admitted rather useless but oh so nerdy!
Named Fork ported this originally Mac OS X app to the iPhone. Because [...]

TJ, from ducking fame has published his experiences in installing Mac OS X.5 on the Asus EEE1000HA
He had to replace the Wi-Fi unit and uses a D-Link BT dongle. Internal ethernet doesn’t work.
