Group Attempts to Recreate Photoshop in Real Life

A group of enterprising individuals have an ongoing project to show us what Photoshop would look like if the UI was rendered in real life. The display is tangible and was not created by computer graphics.

MacBook Air!!

Apple just announced the .16-inch thin MacBook Air — a laptop so thin it fits in a manila envelope. The new machine features a full-size keyboard and LED-backlit 13.3-inch display with built-in iSight, and the new larger trackpad supports multi-touch gestures. Just like the iPhone, you’ll be able to pan around, pinch to zoom, and [...]

Perspective

This young man, Michal Tatarkiewicz is brilliant. Now, I know this really isn’t gadget related but it’s still Nerd worthy. This guy is drawing a subway in full scale in a gallery for an art/design showing. You aren’t likely to get any more obsessively geeky.
My grade on his project: Smelly but really cool

Steambot robots

These things don’t move, thank goodness or else I’m pretty sure they would take over the world just out of pure coolness. Awesome design.

The Customizable Q-Couch

Once again, another country hands America its butt on a plate in terms of fashion and technology. A company in UK manages to brings both aspects together to create the Q-couch. Vertically stackable and not at all different from a game of Tetris, each partition can be joined together to form one chair, or a [...]

Artifacts Suggest Ancient Aircraft May Have Existed

The beginning of human flight, according to modern history, took place in the 1700’s when two French men defied gravity using a hot air balloon to make the first flights. However, discoveries of ancient wooden models of aircraft that predate aviation history would suggest otherwise. The wooden models were found in tombs in Egypt. [...]

Sekonic L-758DR Digitalmaster

The New Nokia N76 Gets Smart

I’ve always loved Nokia and its simplicity.  It pretty much jump-started the cell phone industry with its candy bar style phones that seem hard to part with.  When Nokia came out with their flip phones, it wasn’t that impressive or even nice to look at.  Now, Nokia is fighting back and getting smart with their [...]
