Use your Nokia N900 to play SNES games

Posted by Ade as Gaming, Gaming Features, Nintendo, Old School

Okay, sure, old-school gaming emulators are a dime a dozen. You can easily download one off the net for a small price - or if your Google-fu is strong, free - and you can just download the ROMS of the games that you legally (heh) purchased back in the console's heyday, and play away! I actually have quite a few installed on my computer and a NES and GBA emulator on my Nokia E63 as well. So what's the big deal about playing SNES games on the Nokia N900?

Well, I don't think any other cellphone can allow you to play SNES games through a PS3 SixAxis controller. And if ...

Such a cool concept pencil!

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff, Old School, iPod

Ok, first thing that flashed in my mind "Why didn't I invent this!". Such a cool concept from Japanese designer Yuta Watanabe. He calls this as the "peg pencil". It's his version of a mechanical pencil made of spring activated (and re-modified) clothe's pin. You can all see most of his recent work on his website http://www.yutawatanabe.com/. Really creative work showcasing the Japanese creative mind. Ayayay! I wonder how Yuta thought of the peg pencil. I am arround clothe pins all my life and yet it has never come across to me that this can morph into something really cool. Step up for Yuta and loud high-fives. Anyway, back to tech stuff. Did you know that ...

Getting the Steampunk Look

Posted by Sophia as Computer Peripherals, Cool Stuff, Gadgets, Hardware, Hardware and Gadget Features, Old School

We've all seen and heard about modding the look of computer peripherals and other present-day machines to fit a person's personality or simply to follow certain whims (read: too much time on one's hands). An interesting, shall we say, genre modders like to do is that of Steampunk. It's a look based on the type of sci-fi/fantasy/speculative fiction literary genre, Steampunk, where steam is used to power high-tech inventions set in the Victorian era. Steampunk Keyboard

Top 10 Gadgets I Actually Use

Posted by Geezer as Cars, Cellphones, Gadgets, Nintendo DS, Notebooks, Old School, WiFi

I know. I know. This is a gadget site. We're supposed to be all about the wanting, the salivating, the dreaming... But I thought it would be fun to step out of fantasy land for a second and consider the top 10 gadgets that I actually use on a daily and/or weekly basis. Maybe this will give you a glimpse into the inner depths of my life...or maybe not. 1. My Old School Nokia Cell Phone What can I say. I've got a RAZR, but that's mostly for fun. When it comes to the daily grind, I still find myself preferring the simple, big-buttoned, hard to lose, big bodied Nokia from three years ago to the sleek, ...

Itty Bitty Tube Amp: The ZVEX iMPAMP

Posted by Geezer as Gadgets, Old School, Sound, iPod

Ok. Ok. I admit it. I watch HGTV sometimes. Tonight it paid off. They had a cool-ass little gadget called the iMPAMP. This thing rocks. Literally. It's a power tube amp the size of a notecard (or a Nintendo DS) but with sound big enough to produce the effect of a decked out studio. Itty Bitty Tube Amp

You can hook these guys up to your iPod for old-school sound from a new-school device. But you don't have to go big to get that old-school sound. The zvex iMPAMP is designed small enough to fit in the palm of your hand...a perfect compliment to your iPod nano. As ...

Look Mom, No Hands: The ELP Laser Turntable

Posted by Geezer as Gadgets, Old School, Sound

The ELP Laser Turntable lets you listen to your old school vinyl records without worrying a bit about mechanical damage. You see, old school vinyl players actually had to make physical contact with with the grooves in your vinyl discs, slowly wearing them down over time. With old discs, this causes concern for collectors and old timers alike. But the ELP Laser Turntable reads the grooves with lasers, fully preserving the surface integrity of the vinyl disc. In fact, the ELP Laser Turntable can actually help regain some of the discs fidelity if it has been damaged or scratched, letting people listen to their long lost artifacts that they thought they had lost ...
