Inside Sharp's Newest LCD Factory
This is some testing equipment inside Sharp's new LCD plant in Sakai City. The rest of the facility doesn't look quite as ominous though. In fact, it kinda resembles an air traffic center with some robots tossed in for fun. More » -

What is This?
Is this the entrance to Jason Chen's secret lair where the Gizmodo magic happens? Maybe a place to lock up anyone with swine flu? What on earth requires a HAL 9000 to keep guard? Ah! The floor has the answer. More » -

How Lego Bricks Are Made: The 80s Version
I wish I knew about this 80s video before I visited Lego to show you how it's made. But then, I would have missed the secret Lego vault and the cathedral-sized storage buildings. [Thanks Kooberz] -

How Frozen Pizzas Are Made (Singularity and One Badass Sauce Gun)
The BBC has a fantastic, 3-minute clip touring a frozen pizza factory that manufactures 2 million pizzas a week. There's something about precision, large-scale automation, even when the technology isn't necessary cutting edge, that's even more telling of our technological place in the world than sleek touchscreen phones and GPS navigators. Notice the eerie lack of humans, the cold airshot of sauce onto crust and the phallic towers of pepperoni being diced to scraps by machines. Has Man sold his soul to the robots so soon? And just for some crappy frozen pizzas? [BBC via MAKE]
