Stuxnet: Anatomy Of World’s Most Advanced Computer Virus
Every day we hear about new viruses, malware and trojans. It's become an automated process to keep our computers safe by using one of the many protection softwares out there.

Transformers: The 2,000 Pound Bumblebee Vanilla Cake
It's always so much fun to see artists get inspired by the release of new movies. Yesterday I wrote about the stop-motion animations director who recreated the entire Cars 2 movie trailer in Lego. That was the result of several months of hard work, all inspired by a movie.
Another artist, a famou ...
All Your Math Education Compressed Into 3 Minutes
I think you could say I enjoy math quite a bit. It's not because I am cleverly educated in the field, but just because I find the order of it interesting to poke around in. Math is also one of the main ingredients when programming, and most of the time you do calculations in order to put stuff on th ...
World’s Largest Game Boy Advanced Controller

Photography: A Past Picture Collides With A Current View
Combining the past and the present is a photography technique that has been popular for a while now. We've featured a lot of that time capsule style on Bit Rebels. There is definitely something nostalgic about old photographs. After all, taking a roll of film out of our camera and dropping it off at ...
Cars 2: The Entire Trailer Recreated In Lego
In just a few days, Cars 2 will be released here in the States. I know most people are fans of Lightning McQueen, but Mater was always my favorite.

Fantasies vs. Realities Of A Startup [Infographic]
Starting a company isn't exactly an easy endeavor. You have to be a certain kind of person in order to stick with it, and as much as you need energy, you also need discipline. Your business won't run itself if you know what I mean. To start, run and maintain a business of your own is one of the hard ...
What Your Daily Preferences Reveal About Your Personality
We've all seen the little questionnaires that supposedly pinpoint different personality types. You know, the questions like, "Do you wear boxers or briefs?" or "Are you a dog person or a cat person?" I always think those are fun to read about people, but I also know they're just for fun. You can't r ...
Foursquare Reaches 10 Million Members: The Animated Infographic
I remember when I first saw the word foursquare and when people started to sign up. My friend @mayhemstudios (Calvin Lee) was one of the first people I saw who got furiously into the geolocation service. I think I signed up at some point, but I never got used to the feeling of everyone constantly kn ...
Super Mario X-Men Mashup Is As Awesome As It Sounds
We love mashups here at Bit Rebels. They might come across as weird and out of context sometimes, but we don't really care. Anything that has to do with creativity and a different perspective we're all over. It just has to be seen because of the fact that it's different. We can't go on idolizing the ...

Tipping Etiquette Around The World [Infographic]
I think I have touched on this subject before, and I didn't get any more clever because of it. As you can read from one of my earlier articles, tipping is a pretty interesting concept, and it is handled differently in each country around the world. In the U.S., I always tipped 20% if not more. It is ...
Zelda Chess: The Ultimate Hand Carved Geek Creation
Chess is one of the oldest board games ever created, and it puts our skills to the ultimate test. Our opponent is what lies between us and an honorable victory, so playing smart is the only thing we should care about. However, that's not such an easy task, and we need many years of practice to maste ...
The Elastic Alphabet: Rubber Band Typography
It's easy to see why so many people like typography in all its shapes and forms. There is a correct definition for typography that is quite specific, but there seems to be a multitude of opinions about that. Typography to many people is just text plotted out in various forms, shapes and constellatio ...
The Healing Power Of Banana Peels
Apparently banana peels are a kind of miracle drug, and I'm just now finding out about it. Since I'm not a big fan of medicine, I'm really excited about this. I'm all for taking a piece of tape and attaching a banana peel to my body if it will do what some people claim. I might look like an idiot, b ...
