World’s Coolest Nostalgic MP3 Player
Usually when things go out of style, geeks are really quick to retrofy them into new gadgets that we all can get some nostalgic memories from. They come in the form of stickers for iPhones, non-working items or just things that look and feel similar to what the original item used to express. However ...
Zero Gravity Office: A Huge Magnet & Some Balls
As we have written about before, many offices tend to be tweaked towards geek activities nowadays, and that's all fine. Here at Bit Rebels we look forward to the day when we have our very own office where all of us will be able to kick the geek afternoons off with a Nerf gun battle or a Nintendo NES ...
8-Bit Characters Depixelized: Awesome Futurfication Software
I sometimes get really bummed out that the 8-bit era has ended, and the original artwork created in the '80s is forever over. Sure, we can create pixalated art pieces today, but that doesn't really make it the same, does it? No, it's the memories connected to the artwork that make it retro and cool. ...
Massive 840 Barrel Paintball Gun Paints Mona Lisa
Ladies and gentlemen, this is probably something that will have you baffled again and again. Everyone knows that the famous Mona Lisa painting probably took quite a while to paint, and some examiners have said that the painting has something else painted underneath it.
Whether this is true or not ...
The PC Mod That Is Sexier Than A Mac
We all know that two of Apple's most famous catch phrases are "sexy" and "insanely great," which they pretty much attach to all their products. In some ways those words are true as well, and with all the sales they are raking in, it's hard to say the contrary.
However, there are of course modders ...
Pepsi Takes Virtual Gifting To Another Level

Computer History Timeline: When It Will All End [Infographic]
The pace at which computers get updated is getting faster and faster. We are no longer impressed by the giant leaps humanity sometimes takes when it come to technology. Even though we continuously invent new ways to speed up, make smaller, and refine already existing technology, it looks like we are ...
Recycled Nintendo NES Becomes 6 Man Music Jamming Device
I don't know how many times I have wished that I never got rid of my Nintendo NES console. It has almost become something to grieve over, and I can't seem to get my butt out of the chair long enough to actually hunt another one down. I would just love to sit for a couple of hours and play Super Mari ...
Pentax K1000: Insane Complete Camera Disassemble
When you were young, I am sure you, just like me, loved to take things apart just to see how they worked. It's part of a learning process I think, or maybe I just want to tell myself that so I feel better about breaking so many things that were working, just to check out what they looked like on the ...
Augmented Body: Wear Cat Ears Controlled By Brain Waves
Just when I thought I would never see any crazy inventions from Japan that could ever top what I've already seen and written about before, I stumbled across these cat ears. As with most Japanese inventions, if you can get passed the initial feeling of being disturbed, it's actually fascinating.
T ...

This iPhone ...
World’s Smallest Hard Drive Is The Atari 810 Build
I certainly love technology, and I recently wrote about the world's smallest PC. For all of you who after reading that article are wondering what "side" I am on, I can safely say that I work mostly on a PC (or in Windows as someone wanted to label it instead). I have a Mac as well, but I use that so ...
World’s Smallest PC Makes Apple Shake In Their Boots
I must admit Apple has taken quite a great leap towards world domination with all their new technology and gadgets. It's like everything they do is perfectly manufactured to fit into everyone's lives. It's quite an enormous achievement really, and where it will end only the future will tell. However ...
User Experience Design: Notes From An Inspired Designer
Talented designers have always inspired me. They just seem to be able to present information and ideas in ways that would never occur to me. This designer that I'm sharing with you today is a perfect example of that.
I carry around two spiral Bit Rebels notebooks with me everywhere. One is filled ...
Stunning Slow Motion Video: Gelatin Cubes Jiggle Your Brain
I've written before about how much I don't like Jello. Well, it's not that I don't like it; it's more that I'm afraid of it. It's like an abomination of food. It goes up there in the same category as tofu, Spam and white chocolate. I think aliens might have put those things in our supermarkets even ...
