How to pair a PS3 controller with your Android device for no-touch gaming - (Video)
Touch controls on newer tablet and smartphones can be such a pain in the behind, especially when throwing some retro rom’s onto your device; no one wants to use virtual d-pads and buttons!

TED - Transmitting wireless data using lightbulbs - Video
One of the crazier ideas out there, but non the less fascinating — transmitting data via suble flickers of a lightbulb, too quick for the human eye to see. We don’t know if it’s literally a fiesable technology to use for transmitting data, but we sure know that we need more fresh thinkers in the tech world like Harald Haas… badass name by the way…

It's possible to brick a MacBook and its battery with a four-byte password
Computer viruses are scary and they have been for a long time, and I know that sounds stupid, but it’s true. As soon as we set up a computer for someone (or ourselves), the first thing we do is install anti-virus software out of sheer paranoia and fear of “viruses”.

This is a real Iron Man laser glove - Video
Sure you can’t blast through concrete or tear through evil robots, but you can strap this thing to your palm and perform what could be the best party tricks in history.

The Nintendo64 has stepped out of the limelight for a long time, but with this new mod by borjaus from Inventos Unicos, the N64 is back baby.
