The Pick-Apart Hard Drive Is A Partitioner’s Dream!
Right now I am sitting here with 3 stacked up Porsche external hard drives and not a single GB left to store on them. They are all filled with graphics, ideas and what have you. Sometimes I wish I could just reach into each of those drives and fast and easily extract exactly what I wanted without ...
Triumph OMNI-BANG: 360 Degree Sound For Your iPhone!
Almost everyone, I am sure, remembers when the iPhone first came out how astounded we were with the rich, thick quality the sound had. It was a joy to watch those movie trailers on YouTube, and you kept wondering how those small badboys of speakers could generate that much of a sound torque. But t ...
Microsoft Surface 2.0: Will It Stun Us THIS Time Around?
I remember a couple of years ago when I first saw the Microsoft Surface technology being demoed in a series of clips. I was amazed by the technology and the features it had, but I couldn't quite see the killer use it would bring to the world. It's one of those things that everyone should think abo ...
Eco Power Strips: Chemically Charge Your Phone In The Future?
Almost every day we hear about how much we need to start finding new sources of energy before our planet goes into a complete stage of shock and beyond any rescue mission attempt we might come up with. In a TED Talk by Bill Gates, he mentions that we have about until 2050 to find an alternate energ ...
The Portable Hard Drive Inspired By An Italian Racecar
Since I own an Apple certified consulting company in Atlanta, I work with hard drives all day long. For the most part, from a visual perspective, they are boring. I've never really thought about it before today, but there is so much opportunity there for a creative designer to do something really ...
The Brick Thief: Lego’s Newest Stop Motion Film
As you know, we write a lot about Lego on Bit Rebels. Sometimes people ask me why we like Lego so much. It's simple really. No matter what age you are, where you live, what you are doing, what problems you have in your life, if you can get your hands on a box of Lego bricks, you can escape into a ...
Technology: The Next Generation Baby Monitor Is Here
Most people I know who have a baby also have a baby monitor. Here in this country, they've become a standard piece of equipment to have when welcoming a new baby home. I remember when my son was born ten years ago; a baby monitor consisted of a plastic box that sat on top of the dresser in the bab ...
Turn Your iPhone Into An EKG Machine!
Is there anything an iPhone can't do? I mean, seriously. The CyanogenMod based on the Android operating system blows my mind; however, it all comes down to the user experience, which in most cases, unless you are a technology geek, means apps, right? Maybe someday soon (I hope) having an Android ...
Translating Online Emotions: Communication Made Easier
We've all experienced it, right? We get an email from someone, and we aren't sure how to interpret what they've typed. When someone sends a message that isn't clear, it's easy to wonder if they intended it to be a joke, or if it was supposed to come across as harsh as it was written.
For exampl ...
Badge Spy Camera: There’s A Secret Behind The Smile!
If you are having thoughts about switching out professions in order to live out your movie dreams and become a secret agent (or just a pervert with a secret camera), then you have probably seen countless small and secretive cameras on the Internet. Some are high-end spy cameras, while others fill a ...
Real TRON Skatecycle: The Age Of TRON Has Arrived!
Right now TRON is on everyone's lips, and it's hard to find a place or gadget that hasn't been Tronified. There are newly rendered imaginative gadgets, and then there's the gadgets that are real but have gotten some modification added to them to appear as much TRON as possible. I saw the movie a c ...
Public Digital Bulletin Boards Could Soon Grace Our Society!
Ever since the iPhone made its triumphant introduction into the world, it is like we are all spellbound by its capabilities, functions and features. Everything that is developed or invented today is supposed to have a touchscreen and a large screen in order to suck us into the virtual world in an ev ...
HTC: Are Multiple Smartphone OS’s A Dream Or Could They Be Real?
We have touched the subject before here at Bit Rebels. It's a utopia that I think most people would love to see come true. The question is, of course, if it ever will become a reality. There is far too much money to be made keeping things as they are with only one OS on each cell phone. But ther ...
Technology: Use Your 3D Printer To Print Edible Food!
I know what you are thinking, and yes, this is nuts. However, it's nuts and it's true, so if you are into new technologies, you will love this! We often talk about how technology is moving at the speed of light, and this is a perfect example of that. This is something that wouldn't have even been ...
Technology, Art & Fashion Collide: LED Eyelashes
I was sitting here wondering why I'm just now finding out about these insane little LED eyelashes when they've been out for a few years, but then I figured it out. It's because this is another one of those Japanese inventions that never quite made it over here to the States... yet.
You understand ...
