Here’s How to Turn a Dell Streak Tablet Into a SNES

The Dell Streak tablet is nice and everything, but what it really needs is a…SNES CONTROLLER. Thankfully modder “0TheRain0” hacked the Streak’s PDMI port with a Teensy USB Microcontroller board, so it just assumes the SNES is a USB keyboard. Now, 0TheRain0 can play Yoshi’s Island 2 (via an emulator) just like Nintendo never imagined.…

So goes the thinking behind Dyson’s Groom tool, which connects to most of their vacuum cleaners and sucks up loose hair and dead skin.
