How Frequently Each Letter Is Used On Your Keyboard
I am sure there is some kind of app or software out there that will help us keep track of all the characters we use on our keyboards throughout whatever time period we want. I know there are some plugins for WordPress that will keep track of how many words each author has typed in every article and ...
Why Humanity Is All About Infographics
Some people have asked us why we are so keen on publishing infographics here on Bit Rebels, and the answer is really simple. It's because we believe that they have a huge knowledge value requiring the reader very little energy to acquire that knowledge. We want to educate our readers through short, ...
Almost All Social Media Gurus Are Clowns…
The title of this article may be quite a sting for some people, especially the social media gurus (or the ones that call themselves that). Whichever way you look at it though, it it's actually true... at least according to Gary Vaynerchuk, the wine emperor who started from nothing, or almost at leas ...
Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Soapbox Derby Car
As a kid, my brother and I were always talking about the ultimate soapbox car, and how it would be built. We had a couple of runs building some, which to our amazement, were quite fast and cool. However, the designs were nothing that gave us bragging rights, but that of course didn't matter to us. W ...
Paper Heroes: When Simplicity Rules
I have come to love the way people reformat the methods of creating cool art. For a long time, it has all been about making something advanced, extravagant and time consuming, which will make people go numb just thinking about the work that must have gone into it. However, there is an edge here that ...
Star Wars Crayon Carvings Set
For a kid, a simple crayon can be the most wondrous thing in the world. The things you can create with a crayon on a paper are limitless, and as a kid, that's the first thing you figure out when trying one out.

Gamers: The Industry Definition [Infographic]
There is a slight misconception that gamers are all kids and teenagers, and that they are the ones who fuel the gaming industry with their cash (or their parent's cash that is). Even though that is of course not entirely false, it's important to know that there are a lot of "grown-ups" that buy game ...
Jedi A-Holes Strike Back: Fandom Gone Wrong
With all the new Star Wars stuff being published daily on the Internet, you quickly start thinking that some of it must be junk. Some of it really has to have a negative effect on some of the fanboys and girls around the globe. The effect might not be immediately clear, but there certainly has to be ...
Understanding The Sony Hack: Simple Infographic Version
Using your credit card on the Internet can be quite a thrilling experience if you are not careful about which websites you use it on. The ones that stand out the most usually look really shady, or are a duplicate of something legit which they have carefully copied in order to grab the unsuspecting c ...
Cinemart: Blending Art And Cinema
The blending of two different worlds can create some really cool and unique combinations for sure. I don't think I even have to go into the the description once again since I have written about it plenty of times before. If you are a new visitor to Bit Rebels, you might want a speed recap of what I ...
Next Generation Super Mario Packaging Store Displays
Recently I have been mesmerized by the intricate designs of store displays. They go to extravagant lengths to make us buy their stuff, and it usually works. Unfortunately we don't have many here where I am located, but I get my fix by checking out the displays that are available on the Internet. And ...
Beautification: The Star Wars Millennium Falcon XBox Mod
I think it's obvious to anyone reading Bit Rebels that we really like geeky cool stuff, especially gadgets that have been customized or modded. It's really nice to know that we aren't just sticking to the same ole boring designs that we sometimes see in the stores when we're hunting down our next ga ...
Retro 8-Bit Super Mario Ghostbusters Mashup
Some of you may have seen my post about the Depixelization Software that I wrote about the other day. It's basically an algorithm that transforms pixelated retro game art into smooth and up-to-date graphics. I have a sneaky suspicion that it compiles it into vectors which in turn makes the art not o ...
Sink Your Ship With The Battleship Drinking Game
Hmm... I can't decide if this looks like fun or if it would be a puking disaster. Brazilian design student, Mauricio (Tony) Harion, created this new version of the classic Battleship game. It's for adults only, and it's called Enigma - Battleship Drinking Game.
According to Coroflot, "It's played ...
Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About The Nintendo Company
I'm sure you know by now that we love Nintendo on Bit Rebels. We write about it a lot, and we've covered everything from the original NES all the way up to the Wii. I still remember the first time I discovered Mario. I was just a kid, and of course, at that moment I was convinced I had to get the Ma ...
