Make Some Hard Drive Speakers, Just Because You Can

The Hackaday people say that hard drive speakers are not new. Fine. Who cares when they look so cheesetastically retro good as these? I don’t. The gangsta blue horizontal volume unit meter will satisfy your inner pimp too. Too bad it doesn’t have some much-needed boombox hump. [Overclock via Hackaday]

Panasonic Karma Is My Dream iPhone Game Console

I have to agree with Hitler: The iPod touch and the iPhone need actual gaming buttons to be real game machines. The Panasonic Karma looks exactly like that: A true iPhone game console.

Giant Light Canons Can Decorate Entire Mountains From One Kilometer Away

This is Machu Picchu, the famous Inca site in Los Andes. And that giant symbol covering the mountain—called Huayna Picchu—is not Sauron resurrected, but a light drawing projected from one kilometer away using PAE light canons.

DIY Cardboard iPhone Dock Could Have Come From Apple

This do-it-yourself cardboard iPhone dock is so pretty that it actually could have been designed by Jonathan Ive himself. Of course, if Ive had designed it, it would have an Apple logo and sell for $40 instead of being free. Pretty sweet. Go get the PDF and do it yourself here. [iPhone Dock via Unplggd]
