That means when we hit December 1st, all the children are going to want an advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas Day.

Slicing Up The iPhone 4: What It Really Costs [Infographic]
It's interesting that we were all so excited to hear about the iPhone 5, but what we got was the iPhone 4S. It's interesting not from the point of view that we were disappointed, but that we actually got the iPhone 5 yet in a different package. This one happened to be named iPhone 4S, and it feature ...

Time For Tea: The History & Customs Of High Tea [Infographic]
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a huge tea drinker. A lot of you know that from my tweeting, and I think I have about 10-15 cups of tea a day. Of course, sometimes it's less and sometimes it's more depending on the amount of work I have to get done. It's become an addiction to always have a cu ...

Retro 8-Bit Artwork In The Stockholm Subway System [18 Pics]
Sweden is one of those countries that in some ways could be explained by the word average. We have winters, and we have summers. The temperature in the winter averages around -20 degrees Celsius, and in the summers it's around +20-25 degrees Celsius. That's a span of about 40-45 degrees difference i ...

5 Effective Social Media Strategies [Infographic]
In order to be successful in social media, there are a slew of things that you can do and think about when you first start out. The list can be long, but to tell everyone to do exactly the same would be a disaster. We network because we want to share, learn and connect with people who have skills an ...

Music From A Dry Cleaner: Epic Songwriting Session [Video]
When writing music, there is a technical aspect to it that most people don't know about. In order to get the unique sound that you want as a producer, you have to create your own sound back (sample bank). You do that by recording stuff like real kick drums, snares or whatever you want your sound ban ...
Steampunk Xbox 360 Controller Will Rejuvenate Your Gaming
It's time for another tidbit of steampunk here on Bit Rebels. We love it, but we don't get sent very much of it, and it seems we don't manage to stumble across anything that is worth mentioning very often. However, that of course doesn't mean there isn't anything out there that should definitely be ...

Yes! Oh yes and yes again! Finally there is something on the game scene worth looking forward to.

It was o ...
Human Body Stilettos: Every Woman’s Dream?
If you think about it, the human race is quite a weird species. Just look at everything we have accomplished so far, and we're never satisfied. That is of course both good and bad. The good side of it is that we keep refining, altering and perfecting whatever we can in order to make everything bette ...

Awkward Moments: Bill Gates & Steve Jobs Early Years [2 Videos]
Isn't it wonderful how innocent and awkward we can all be when we first start our adventurous lives? If you have never been in a particular situation before, you just don't know how to react or behave in order to comply with what is expected of you. In every person's life there are moments when we f ...

If you are a smartphone user, I am quite sure you have your favorite application on that device of yours. Angry Birds is a popular one, but there are of course hundreds of thousands of other applications, and we don't all have the same taste. Today we use our cell phones for pretty much everything. ...
Tin Can Mastery: The Art Of Creating Toys Out Of Cans
Although we usually throw away tin cans, aluminum is of course a whole different thing, and we go out of our way to recycle it. Not only is it good for the environment, but we can make a few bucks from doing so as well. There is nothing wrong with making a little money while saving the environment, ...
Making The MGM Logo: The Shooting Of A Roar
For me, watching a movie is a way to escape from reality into the magical and boundless realm where anything is possible. The excitement that I feel before watching a movie I've been waiting to see for a long time can only be compared to the childlike excitement we have all felt the day before Chris ...

The lineup of articles about weird and cool stuff involving Star Wars is ever mounting here at Bit Rebels.
