Recycled Floppy Disk Art: Retro Technology Gets A New Life
Of all the creative artwork I've written about on Bit Rebels over the past two years, this is definitely one of my favorites. It combines technology, painting, recycling and a human touch, all flavored with that retro feeling we love so much. I remember when I first saw the works of Nick Gentry. It ...
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 ...
Study Reveals Technology Makes Us Stressed Out
I remember several months ago when I wrote an article about a study that showed Americans go crazy when their Internet is slow. At the time I wrote that, I wondered if that was a good representation for people around the world, or if it was just another example of how us Americans can be impatient a ...
The Periodic Table Of Swearing
I'll admit that I have a potty mouth every now and then. There are certain situations in life when we just have to let the expletives fly, don't you agree? For example, I've been known to drop a periodic F-bomb when Twitter is down, when getting dental work done, or when my computer crashes and I lo ...
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 ...

Every Company Microsoft Ever Invested In [Infographic]
We all know that Microsoft was taken to court for possibly monopolizing several aspects of the software market by acquiring company after company that they were supposedly competing with on the market. This became one of the most news worthy court cases in the history of the computer industry, and w ...
How To: Make A Mathematically Correct Bagel
Do you know of people who think in terms of math equations all the time? I used to be that way. I've mentioned before that I dropped out of art class in high school so I could take an advanced calculus class instead. Now I'm just a geek, but back when I was a super geek, I used to think of everythin ...
Unbelievable ASCII Art Created With A Typewriter
I think everyone at some point has come across the awesomeness of ASCII art. It first appeared on the early Commodore 64, if not even earlier. It spread like wildfire, and we have been evolving it ever since. With a computer, it's really simple to achieve good results. If I am not mistaken, there ar ...
Nature’s Gift: 9 Beautiful Butterfly Wing Patterns
For me, one of the best ways to celebrate life is to get outside and enjoy nature. Sometimes for us computer geeks, that might just mean taking the time for a quick walk in the backyard. However, you might be surprised at what you can find right outside your own door. It's really magical if you can ...
How To: Play Angry Birds Dodgeball
I grew up playing with a lot of kids on the streets. I was fortunate that my brother and sister were both close to my age, and we always ended up spending our summers together playing street games with the other kids in our neighborhood. My parents would yell to us when it was time to come inside, w ...
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 ...

Sitting Down Is Killing You [Infographic]
When you have a desk job, it's easy to see the advantages of sitting at a desk inside when looking outside and there is a guy shoveling snow in front of your office. There you are, in your cozy warm office, typing away on that little keyboard while that guy is out there busting his butt in the cold. ...
The Escape: Portal 2 Recreated In Lego
Someone told me once that you should never start an article with a question, but this time I kind of have to. Did I ever play Portal? Did I ever play Portal 2? The answer for those two questions is definitely no. I have only been exposed to the game through the countless trailers, spoofs and relentl ...
Wow! World’s Largest Model Airport Design
Since I'm on the Internet almost all day everyday, it's rare that I see something that impresses me as much as this does. On Bit Rebels, we've written about many different kinds of builds, some of which have taken two or three years to make, but I think I've found something that will trump every sin ...
