Sidewalk Design To Provide QR Codes With Tourist Information
It's no joke to say QR codes have become a huge hit around the world. Pretty much every product I buy today has a QR code embedded on it. I's a great way to keep product information updated and current. So why aren't they used even more within our already jam packed technological world? The answer t ...

First Time A Computer’s Artificial Voice Orders A Pizza [Video]
When we were first introduced to Siri, not many people were overly excited. After all, an artificial voice (or a synthetic one) had been done before. What should have impressed us was really the intelligence behind it. The way we embraced Siri was with a bit of skepticism. Making a computer talk lik ...
Possibly The First Polaroid Pictures Ever Taken Of The Apple-1 In 1976
If these Polaroid pictures look a little rough, keep in mind they were taken back in 1976. It's inspiring to think about the computer stores that were in business back in the '70s since the people who worked in those stores were the early pioneers who saw the vision for what personal computers would ...
World’s First 3D Printing Photo Booth Dispenses A 3D Figure Of You
This is just so cool I'm about to burst. This is the world's first 3D printing photo booth. If you've been following Bit Rebels for a while, you probably know that we are doing our best to keep up with the advances in 3D printing. The technology is moving so fast though that if you look away for jus ...
First Pixar Movie Ever Made Is From 1972
I think it's safe to say that everyone in the civilized world has seen parts or a whole movie animated by Pixar at some point. It's amazing what impact they have had on the movie world, and they never seem to stop inspiring and amazing us with their realistic way of portraying the animated world. Pr ...

The Cost Of Being The First Kid On The Block [Infographic]
I have pointed it out many times before, but I suppose another time won't hurt us a bit. Technology is rapidly progressing, and it isn't unusual for us to buy something at the store only to get back home, install it, and find out that what we just bought is actually yesterday's hype. It happens to m ...
Watch The Very First Barbie TV Commercial Ever
There is a saying that there is a first time for everything. It's probably the best quote out there because there is no getting around it, and there are no alternatives for it. What I mean is that there is nothing that can break it. Either there is a first time or there is not, simple as that. Every ...
World’s First Animated Tattoo Is Pure Awesomeness
If you are connected with me on my Facebook account, you know I am a sucker for tattoos. I am constantly drawing up new ones, and I have many yet to make and get forever inked onto my body. I am very careful about what I choose to tattoo (as I would expect anyone to be), and I always draw my own mot ...

VODER: World’s First Synthetic Speech Synthesizer [Retro]
Ever since the first personal computer was introduced, researchers have been trying to create a lifelike speech synthesizer that can comfortably and correctly convert text on the screen into perfect speech. There have been a number of approaches, and pretty much all of them have failed miserably. Th ...
Super Mario As A First Person Shooter Game
I am just in awe right now. It's not because I have found something about the only legendary true retro game ever created, but because the nature of it is so much more... alive! We are so used to seeing Super Mario jumping in that 2D world, and we've grown into it thinking we would never see him in ...
Cat Diaries: The First Movie Filmed by Cats!
I once read an article that said that cats are very popular on the Internet. People love sharing their cat stories, funny cat pictures and their cute and cuddly photos of kittens. There are also a lot of blogs about how to take care of our feline friends. It is quite easy to fall in love with cat ...
The First Ever Song Made From Your Tweets!
Twitter is a great community. I have been very active on the social networking site since December 2008, and I can attest to the power of a tweet. There are so many things shared on Twitter including information, inspiration, testimonials, laughter and even virtual hugs. Another big thing that pe ...
Is This The First Remote Control Ever Invented?
In my attempt to research remote controls, I stumbled over a ton of interesting facts. To put them all into one single article would just make the article way too long and boring so I will spare you of all that. Instead, I will continue my series of remote control articles with this one. Do you k ...
This Is The First GPS Dated Back In The Early 1900s
Who would have thought that the first GPS was dated way back to the early 1900s. Of course, it's a ploy, but it looks so flippin cool that I would (if I would have lived during the time) loved to have one on my Ford wagon back in those days. Imagine just pimpin out with the first GPS... ever. Peo ...
The First Ever Drawing Of Batman’s Nemesis – The Joker
It is one of the highest grossing movies of all time. Batman - The Dark Night was a huge success and maybe it was due to the untimely death of Heath Ledger. In that movie, Heath made a legendary performance as the Joker that we will forever remember. There have been many different Jokers througho ...
