my kinda hack right here which im sure many of you can relate to. this alarm clock is not just an alarm clock. it is one that is scared. scared of shock. thus, if you punch, kick, chuck a dremel at it when the alarm goes off, it will remain quiet. this is no simple hack mind you, but it's not too hard if you can solder onto a pcb board and read hand-made plans just fine. a little more soldering … [Read more...]

Well this certainly is somewhat of a new one. our pal machiavel here decided he'd just go ahead and dissassemble a hard drive, a (3-button mind you) mouse, and hook it up with some other stuff and a power supply to create: a lockpicking gun … [Read more...]

Well, maybe it's not entirely a Segway, but it's the right idea. these ubc students went and drew up the plans for a skateboard based segway-like vehicle. they dubbed it "emanual" after the skateboard trick called the manual (come on, you at least played tony hawk for playstation right?). they awesome part is that it works. took a few years, but hey, good things take time. it uses electronic tilt … [Read more...]

now this is truely going beyond the boundries of hacking. to even conjure up this kind of hack is not only awesome, but technically illegal because you can't destroy money here in the USA.
