Xray Console Awesomeness

Sometimes its really impressive how much stuff they cram into a little console. I probably don't have to tell you which picture above is the Xbox 360 and which is the Atari 2600. Here's a hint, the older one is mostly empty space. Oh, and one of them is labeled. Flickr member Reintji got these pictures somehow, the method to which I can only assume was highly illegal. But hey, you don't have to worry about that, you just get to see neat computer guts. Enjoy

It walks! It talks! It assaults small towns in America, killing hundreds!!!! well ok, only the first one, but still, its only a small step until those other things happen. get it? step? ha ha....

Scientists have found a way to make this blob of goo walk. although its incredibly small, how long until its some sort of military terror? only time will tell...

The people's Hero. Also, twinkie porn

Today I present to you a tribute to Mikael Gorbachov by the Russian metal band ANJ. You might remember Gorbachov as the last leader of the Soviet Union. Also as the man who was ultimately responsible for its downfall, and he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 for it. Between the zombie Stalins, luscious babes, Twinkies coca-cola and blue jeans raining from the sky and eye lasers, this thing is pretty legit. Don't just take my word for it, watch it yourself. The lyrics are in English believe it or not. What a great man.

Come with me if you want to live!

Thats right, robots. and not only are they humanoid robots, but they're humanoid robots that serve as clothing models. I'm shocked, maybe a little dismayed. All that funding and research is going to create robot models. this robot is really pushing the uncanny valley too, it looks like something straight out of Jim Henson's workshop. As a side note, does anyone else notice that those two robots in the background look like gundams? the story doesn't really mention what their purpose is, and I doubt it's to model the year's latest mecha weaponry. Weird. You can read the story here.

Nintendo's Entry in the great Bong Race

Alright, Alright, lets not get carried away now. I realize I just posted on the awesomeness of a bong made out of a 360, but Gizmodo just made a post of another gaming bong, this time made out of a classic NES Zapper. If there were a community out there dedicated to making bongs out of random crap, well, that would be 6 secret spices of awesome. I guess I'll keep posting on these things. They make me happy.

But, but... it was an Xbox....

Its really kind of astonishing the lengths that some people will go to to make bongs out of ordinary objects. the thing pictured above? the cheapest it could have been was $200, and I hope that it was broken before hand. On the other side it's really rather inventive, and maybe a little cool. If you're in to that thing. The full story on the Xbox bong can be found here from Gizmodo. hehehe, I approve lol.

Lost in the desert

This post isn't so much about the awesomeness of flash drives (which is what these are) but the awesomeness of the picture. These are Star Wars Mimobot flash drives, and they're pretty nifty. besides, that picture's a classic.
