Hello everyone, there are only 24 hours left to go! Now this is the time to call your family, to patch it up with your ex, to plan the X-mas gifts for your boss and of course to like, share and retweet! Why should you do this when it’s pretty much... (Read More)

Hi Kickstarters! As promised earlier, this update covers the Raspberry Pi topic, not yet the result but rather the process. We promised to share with you all the details on what we are up to. Here we are going to tell you why there is no video with... (Read More)

Hi guys! Just a few words about, thanks to all of you, we’ve hit our second stretch goal. This is as much impressive as was almost incredible. Many of you prefer Notification plug-in on all other additional features. It’s reasonable.... (Read More)

Hello everyone. It’s Android time! So please watch our latest video: For this demo we used a chinese (in all respects) Android mini PC MK809. It’s not the “cutting-edge” device, nor has it a high-performance hardware, but it will do just fine... (Read More)

Now you can add ambient backlighting to any computer display without any of the attendant soldering and Arduino-wrangling, thanks to the folks at Woodenshark. The team has built Lightpack, an Ambilight-esque system that'll connect to a Windows, OS X or Linux PC and project the display's colors onto the area surrounding the screen. (Read More)
