Slap a Camera Onto Your Raspberry Pi and Turn It Into the Ultimate DIY Spy Cam

When the Raspberry Pi was first released, and the board spec was shown off, there were a couple of interesting non-working expansion slots that sent our imaginations wild. Now it seems there's a snazzy new camera module on its way to take up one of those slots and turn the Pi into the ultimate low cost spy gadget. Read More >

Report: New MacBook Pros Will Be Retina Display, USB 3.0 Monster Machines

It's always best not to put too much stock in the old familiar "supply chain sources," but 9to5Mac knows a guy who knows a guy who has confirmed what we've always thought about Apple's next MacBook Pros: They're going to be thin, fast, and gorgeous. Read More >

HP Gives Me Hope We Can Finally Live That One-Cable-to-Rule-Them-All World I’ve Been Dreaming About

It's all fine and dandy having fancy super-thin displays that you can mount on the wall, but you've always got an absolute mess of cables to deal with. Even if you have just one HDMI cable running up there, you've still got to get power to it. If we can't do serious wireless power, at least HP's taking a step forward with its partnership with 3M. Its new all-in-one-type 18.5-incher needs just one cable for everything, including power. Read More >

Magically Levitating Balls Could Be the Future of Computer Interfaces

Until we can activate our computers by simply addressing them (think more "Scotty to the Enterprise computer" than "Samuel L Jackson to Siri"), we'll just have to rely on MIT Media Lab's new floating-point system to talk to the machines. Read More >

Egg-On-Face For Apple as It’s Forced to Issue a UK Mac Pro Recall

All is not well with Apple's much loved, but aging Mac Pro line. Apparently a "small number" of the beastly, pricy towers were sold in the UK with dodgy data-erasing hard drives that'd totally ruin your day, forcing Cupertino to issue an embarrassing recall. Read More >

Sony’s First Ultrabook Is a Flop Before It’s Even on Sale

While Sony has a track record for making beautifully slim laptops, so far it's ignored Intel's prescribed ultrabook gimmickry. That stops now, with the newly announced Vaio T—but sadly, it's a laptop that's doomed before it even hits the shelf. Read More >

How, When, and Why Moore’s Law Will Finally Collapse

One day, Moore's Law will no longer hold true. This rule says computer power doubles every 18 months. But just how will it break down? And when? In the video above, theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explains that it will fall apart in about a decade, and tells just what might happen. Read More >

Acer’s First Ivy Bridge Computers Are…Desktops???

Hey hey! Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors are here! As such, there are some new Ivy Bridge-equipped machines from Acer, which means they'll be within financial reach for many. But I hope you like desktop PCs, because that's all you're getting for now. Read More >

Some People Are Crazy Enough to Drop Over £150 on a Raspberry Pi

If you happen to be lucky enough to be holding one of the first few Raspberry Pis that made it out the door, then you could be sitting pretty. Right now they’re selling thick and fast on eBay for record sums, with one or two even going for over £150 – not a bad profit if you’re not too attached to it. But then that’s a bit against the spirit of the Pi, which has just had its schematics laid bare to the world too. Read More >

Yes, the Raspberry Pi Can Run Quake III Arena Impressively Well

I have to say, while I was excited about the prospect of a tiny computer for around £20 when it was just in the pipeline, now we’re seeing what it can really do, I desperately want one for myself. The Raspberry Pi can play Quake 3, and I don’t mean just run it, I mean actually play it; faster than my full-blown PC did back when it was first released in fact. Read More >

The First Slices of Raspberry Pi Are Finally Shipping This Weekend

Good news for Raspberry Pi pre-orderers. The first batch of Raspberry Pis have been checked, CE marked, packaged, and handed over to both RS and Element 14 for shipping out to the lucky few. After this first batch, both RS and Element 14 will be handling the manufacturing and shipping themselves, so hopefully everyone else will get their slice of Pi soon too. Read More >
